Big Bear🦅Jackie Sees Her Chick For The First Time!🐥...Not Without Difficulty 🙃2022-03-03

Jackie comes back to see her chick, but Shadow won't relinquish hit spot so easily!
Initial Pip confirmed - 3/2 15:47. Pip site - 3/3 3:13. Hatch complete - 3/3 16:14
Shadow was on duty as the chick started to unzip and welcomed it to the world!
🐣PIP is a short word for Pipping, the first hole the eaglet makes from the inside of the egg. 🐣Hatching is a long process, that may take a few days!➡imgur.com/a/vKBs427
Egg #1 was laid 1/22 15:43; Egg #2 was laid 1/25 15:43.

Jackie gives Shadow a few beak kisses to get him to give up the spot....hilarious!

[@mariavarecka2618]

I think that this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. These eagles are more civilized than humans.

[@jacquicoder7160]

Shadow had a secret and he didn't want to share it too quickly. I watched this on live cam and was so anxious for Jackie to see her chick but also thought that Shadow was very much enjoying the moment. That was priceless. I really wished they hadn't had their backs to the camera when Shadow got up. Such a cute little fuzz ball! Thanks, Cali, this was one to remember.

[@lynnassman6423]

OMG! Shadow is so funny; taunting Jackie by not moving!

[@karenrosgen4586]

Shadow. "Honey do I have a surprise for you, wait until you see what happened while you were gone."

[@witchdaughter87]

With all the devotion Shadow has put in to incubating these eggs he deserved that moment. 🐣🐥

[@mygirldarby]

Jackie sat on them 80% of the time.

[@Terri_Stauffer]

After heartbreak of watching Shadow last year not give up on egg, what a joyous moment. He was telling Jackie nothing going on under me no hatch yet I’ll stay a little longer. Jackie’s saying your hiding something I know you. Congratulations Jackie it’s a 🐣

[@karendavis7880]

That's what I was thinking as well!

[@nataliewitkowski913]

Shadow is the best dad

[@KathyElam-xi8bf]

[@sometimeswine4jae334]

Funny how she gentle tip toes behind him to nudge Shadow out lol

[@schen5425]

🐦~ it could could not have happened to a better Daddy. His persistence has paid off 😁

[@karendavis7880]

Shadow was like, "nothing to see here, honey, You relax...I got this!" Watching this in real time was an absolute treat! Thanks so much for the recaps, Cali. Appreciate you and so grateful for finding the live cam channel.

[@Lyndell-P]

A priceless moment between Shadow and Jackie. So special ❣ Mother Nature couldn't have written the script any better 🙏🐥🦅🦅 Such joy!

Nothing short of moving; Jackie nuzzling Shadow was so sweet.

Shadow did not want to get up. LOL. 🥰 What a sweet, adorable couple. Congrats on your little one. It was a pleasure to watch your chick come into the world. 🤩🐣♥

[@orangeziggy348]

Congratulations Jackie and Shadow.

[@ebert8756]

the eaglet is already so much fluffier than it was an hour earlier. how wild!

[@dewbow134]

yup

[@lb1460]

Jackie being so quiet. She's tip-toeing softly and almost seemed like she was whispering to Shadow about their baby❤

[@kirstyemm328]

Yes he was keeping it all to himself :)

[@cherylsalstead1468]

I couldn’t stop smiling 😊 Jackie has patience for sure! I couldn’t be any happier that our chick is here after what Jackie and Shadow have been through the last two seasons! Am so looking forward for chick 2 to come and watch this evolve into something great and eggciting! Tysvm Cali ❤️🦅😘😍🥰💕

[@cityslicker6118]

I'm really interested, did something bad happen to then the last couple seasons? Thanx

[@SW13333]

I've never seen an eagle dad sit on the the nest so long and refuse to get off (they may be out there) with mate waiting+waiting! As others have said they are meant for each other. Love their beak kisses - they are a loving couple. Very excited and happy for these 2! - Stephanie

[@fisheye7440]

Shadow didn't want the chick gets cold, totally ignores Jackie's presence lol.Jackie has so gentle and loving way to persuade 🧡.thank you for the vid!

[@cindythomas5895]

🤣😂🤣😂Jackie be like “ GET UP ... I know my baby is under you “ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lulugirl7043]

How cute was that ?! “Come on honey. I want to see our baby !!”

[@marysmith9361]

So sweet that Shadow doesn't want Jackie on the chick. Congrats to both!

[@sometimeswine4jae334]

Honey while you were out fishing my brood hatched our eaglet...Can I get a papa gift -sushi cigcoot something 🤣

[@s.h.8575]

Shadow: 'Ich tue so, als wäre sie nicht da!' 😂🤭

[@Freespirit_survivor]

Shadow is being secretive!!! I can’t believe it. He is such a character 😉

[@mindylee7488]

Aww Momma Jackie! 💓 Shadow just cracks me up. He thinks “ maybe If I don’t look at her she will think I’m gone!” 😂 I also love the way he looks at her before leaving “ that’s my baby!” 😅

[@sonflowersue.CHOOSE.L0VE]

😂, thanks for the giggles.

[@nancyleigh8016]

Jackie most definitely sensed that baby🐣. She gave Shadow a big smoochy. I believe Shadow was being being extra careful after last year and wants to do the right thing 100%. Not that any of it was his fault but he didn't want to let go and I remember that very well. I'm so happy they have a new baby!!! This was such a treat to see. I just can't express my feelings for this loving couple enough. BIG GIANT😁 SMILES here!! Thank you Cali. We have been blessed to witness this journey thanks to YOU!!❤

[@mahyu21]

Dad refuse to leave the baby… this is so cute 😍

[@parakeet8157]

"Nothing to see here...SURPRISE!"😍😇😀 Spirit!!!!!!!!!

Election. Nothing to see here. Well it’s under cover

[@starrharrison8178]

“Come on honey, please get up”

[@nellowynpitman1439]

Shadow was very very reluctant to give up the nest. I suppose he thought I better fill the pantry. ❤️🦅🦅🐣🥚🇦🇺

[@gladysedgell2410]

Nope not going to move. Going to take my time. Shadow is a good Daddy ♥️🦅

[@sweetbitz]

They are soooo adorable together! I never knew that there was so much interaction between them where you can almost know what they are saying to each other! I am so grateful to you for putting these videos out so we can watch and learn about their relationship and lives. So very entertaining and educational.

This is so awesome 🤗 The tender beaking, whistling, and talking is common in other nests to get partners to move. Love watching it every time. In the SWFE nest, M15 will drop a stick on Harriet to get her to move 🤣😂🤣 Works every time! Happy nest this year 🌟🦅🙏
