This is one of the sweetest things I've seen in a while. Shadow was all too happy to feed his little princess. Knowing very well she could eat that on her own. The bond is strong.

[@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

This is like going back to moms house for the old home cooking.

[@Jack-se2iz]

They will feed her until she’s learned to hunt on her own. Great parents. Incredible youngster! So sweet to see Spirit hop onto the branch next to Shadow.🙏❤️

[@deborahhughes6923]

Shes hungry!!!

[@olbricky6824]

Awesome to see her back again so soon... and Shadow really is a gorgeous eagle!!

[@ds_the_rn]

Isn’t he though? He really is so beautiful.

[@hollyobrien2816]

Hi my name is Holly O'Brien and I'm in love with a bird named Shadow! 🤣 Sure Jackie wears the pants but Shadow; gives breakfast, lunch and dinner, cleans the house (or builds it daily) and then....watches over his 2 girls 24/7. He is sooooooo sweet! Spirit you are one lucky kiddo to have such faithful parents. 💕

[@KiwiKiwi902]

sssshhhh me too!

[@hkgat8632]

So happy she's back for the night, lol. She must be exhausted.

[@franciscajameshernandez7715]

I love the little whistles she makes while Shadow is feeding her. Such a little princess, but so patient and polite, waiting for her papa to feed her. Shadow knew how to entice her back to the nest with that fish! So precious when Shadow gives her the tail 16:59, which he usually keeps for himself. He's such a great dad! What was that in Jackie's talons? I just love this family! 🦅🦅🦅

[@lindacrispin2948]

Shadow giving her the tail had me tearing up

[@elainewittert9307]

Me too 🥹@@lindacrispin2948

[@alesandraf]

Yes!!! Him giving her the tail 🥲 Jackie looks like she had some sticks with her

[@tuxedomask7071]

Looks like it was a little bit accidental. She wasn't supposed to take the whole thing but tear it apart with him. But then he's like... well, I love her, it's fine. ​@lindacrispin2948

[@christophersaint473]

18:38 The way baby Spirit runs over to sit with Daddy on the branch after eating. So pleased with herself! 🌹🧸🎀💝🥰

[@nickymarch2914]

I’m a big bird now!!! 😁

[@pameladean4875]

I knew she'd be back. She's not quite ready to be independent yet. I love she's spreading her wings n getting acquainted with the valley. Hunting isn't easy and requires learning, watching and practice. Baby girl must be hungry! She had an adventurous day 💖🦅💖

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Perfect landing! You’d never know this is her first day.

[@lauracasey830]

I never thought I could be so happy to hear squees! ! So precious🥰

[@Freespirit_survivor]

Yes same here😂

[@britzkrieg2]

Fledged before breakfast, but back for lunch, LOL. Sounds like Spirit is starting to vocalize more like an adult.

[@parakeet8157]

" I'm home. Did you miss me?" Spoiled 👸

[@oksanakendle6287]

Daddy's little girl. Jackie was calling Spirit to fly with her. This was one of the sweetest things I've seen in a while as well. Love this family! Thank you Cali Condor!

[@bonnieleelee9936]

She's so hungry.

[@Stacyr4567]

Shadow is a good dad.

[@PissedOffCrone]

After all our tears! Spirit is back!!! Well that's the way it rolls...one never knows when the Spirit is gunna hit cha!😂😂😂 Kids!!!

[@Alexander-tq5iu]

What a precious and absolutely heart warming moment. I would like to thank Cali Condor and FOBBV for once again making this possible for us. Daddy is feeding his little girl!❤️❤️❤️🦅🦅🦅

[@sarahwright4104]

I knew she'd be home in time for supper. She's going to be ready for a nap soon.

Shadow, Daddy's Girl and... THE EGG 🥚!! LOL😂 So glad it was not a goodbye 💞

Oh sweet baby Spirit is back home on all her very boisterous glory. They all had a wonderful marvellous day. So much excitement. I loved her arrival and her warning ⛔️ announcement 📣. Happy little family 🦅❤️🦅❤️🦅❤️

[@michellecoshow2927]

Shadows main purpose in life was to create the most beautifulest nest for his lovely lady and their offspring. And here he is taking the best possible care of her any Eagle could. What a blessing it is that we get to experience this 🦅🙏💙

[@bonnieleelee9936]

Me too bless her heart

Thank you Cali Condor, such a great sequence. 😍❤️😍

[@maryclayson2360]

Impressive, and certainly worth the wait.

[@yvonnedohoney3243]

Yes..fallen in love with these Eagles..thank you for the posts..and hard work filming...so so appreciated 💓

[@teresaandrews1341]

Enjoyed this video so much! Shadow has been a wonderful caretaker and provider! Beautiful video! 🦅🦅

[@jacquicoder7160]

She may have fledged but she is still Daddy's little girl and he is happy to continue to spoil her. So much like many human father/daughter relationships. Sweet.

[@joyconstantine6067]

The chatter she does even when flying in. She is spoiled.

[@boomerv7291]

It seems that the dad's are the ones who continue to bring the food for their kid(s). It's almost like they want to keep spoiling them for as long as they can. Not too much squeezing, more almost like chirping. I could hear Jackie in the distance, probably yelling at Shadow for pampering his girl. True love is awe inspiring among these beautiful creatures. I guess they know better than us what it's like to survive in their world.

[@lindacrispin2948]

Shadow had a nice piece ready for her 😊 he had to make sure his little girl was fed after her momentous day. Shadow #1 Papa

[@dianac5764]

Wow. I am smiling now.

[@karenray1925]

My heart is overflowing with joy to see Spirit return. Tears welling again. Such a caring bond w/ Shadow.💖

[@michellecoshow2927]

This is so precious!! And Daddy~Proud Papa~ is there with the trophy just for her! And you saved the tail for her! Congratulations Spirit on your new freedom 💙🦅💙

Now that she is "mobile" it's time to learn hunting & fishing. Oh boy! Great video of daddy & daughter sharing lunch.😍

[@sharondavis5720]

Good job spirit, you made it back to the nest .you can fly and soar any were you want .God bless you.

[@kwgrid]

So heartwarming. Wish there was a way to capture on film when Spirit catches her first fish.

[@LisaLikesPhotographySanDiego]

Oh Cali Condor ( someone pretty neat!) You are adorable too - with your captions and write ups - spoon fed, Victory Laps -good ones! Thank you for making this awesome season even better.

[@snugglebear1054]

This is AWESOME 🥰🥰🥰

[@pearlgee5970]

Wow! So good to see the Baby come home to be feed. I thought she’d be off catching her own meals already. I need to learn/read more about their stages of growth. Have a good rest, sweetie! See you soon again.

[@elizagzlz9636]

E visto otros nidos! Y ellos no se van al primer vuelo, ellos tardan aún en irse definitivamente! Primero tienen que explorar y aprender a pelear su comida! A agarrar palos, darse unas duchas en la laguna y después estarán listos para irse ! Veo el de Florida , y E19 y E20 tardaron de 3 a 4 semanas en emprender el vuelo definitivo 💞

[@mweatherby2968]

This has been the most awesome bird watch ever. I watched every video from the beginning. It was so amazing to see her grow up and learn to fly. I am so very proud to be American and this is our patriotic symbol. ❤

Fascinating and so spiritually uplifting. Thank you very much to the team who run this program.

Spiritually uplifting indeed. Very well said.

[@mjc2624]

OMG...does Spirit ever have a set of vocal cords! I need to remember to mute the sound. My neighbors just had a baby and I don't want to awaken the precious bundle of joy!

[@ajr3105]

Shes like moveeeeeee i know theres a fish but i don't know how to stop!!!!! So glad shes home i love this little eaglet!

Ahhhh that’s so awesome 😊I’m glad she’s back home safe and sound after her first flight and day of adventure. 👴🏻👍

Can't escape her complaining now! Spirit is just gonna follow you and pester you until she gets what she wants! 😆❤‍🩹🦅

beautiful, such caring parents Dad Shadow and Mom Jackie. I love this family💗. Spirit flies like she's never done anything else🦅.

[@MsPMG65]

Yes, all 3 of them took my heart from the first I saw of them

[@salloom1949]

There is nothing better than a home meal. Spirit knew that and that's why she/he return. Very wise eagle...

[@valnicoson4835]

Loved how daddy Shadow fed his sweet Spirit who appeared very happy to be fed. And Shadow even let her have the rest of the fish...sweet! Appears Jackie wasn't gonna share her meal with anyone...appears she had something clutched in her talons.

[@deebell8727]

Looks like Jackie did a drive by and saw sassy big girl there and kept on going 😆 Jackie didnt want to share 😄

Cali, thank you so much for this treasure. Baby Girl is so much like Simba. Shadow is the most amazing eagle on KZbin. He is KING💓

Thank you so much Cali for taking the time to pull these together and post. For several days I’ve not been able to rewind the live nest feed, though knew I could count on you for the highlights. ❤

Reminds me of a teenager who's now old enough to drive, but not old enough to be on her own yet.

Omg, she is definitely a daddy’s girl, spoiled as they come. Dad will do anything for his little baby. 🪶💖

[@user-vc3ye8ht8k]

So beautiful 😻. And my most favourite of this is that Shadow almost ate the fish tail but finally decided to give it to Spirit. 🥰

Perfect fledge and perfect landing. Shadow feeding his baby girl so sweet. They gobbled that fish fast. I could hear Jackie in background. Perching together so priceless 💕
