[@vickikelly3059]

Poor Spirit. Does she know what's happening?

[@taffyb4007]

This situation with Fiona reminds me of the "Tom & Jerry cartoons" so funny...

[@Discobaby988]

Jackie’s telling Shadow, we’ve got rats in the house at the end, haha.🐭

[@jeannef624]

Fiona has gotten very vocal lately..sassing Jackie! She must have been watching our little Princess 😂

[@Hannah-ks4mi]

Oh this made me laugh! You've gotta love Fiona's tenacity. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! Thank you again Cali.

[@careykrause289]

Spirit has such a fierce defender in Jackie. She can half-close her eyes or completely nod off even when Jackie accidentally wing-slaps her many times…too cute.

[@peggymiller500]

Fiona is going to be a midnight snack if she doesn’t watch out!

[@aquamarineblue8690]

Did you hear Fiona go flying? Sounds like she’s laughing at not getting hit by momma Jackie. 😂oh my. She will not give up. She started in at 830 pm and was active at least until midnight, then I fell asleep. Just love these moments lol. Spirit just watching and yawning and thinking, I need a hotel. 🤣😂🥰 Fiona is taking fluff, straw piece by piece.

[@steffie0383]

Is that what she was doing!? I was wondering surely she's not there just to tease Jackie and Spirit😆 however I only saw her look at Spirit, then run when she realized Spirit heard her.

[@eileenone8665]

That was great!🤣

[@lorrem2539]

I loved this soooo much! Poor Spirit- what did I do mom?! Fiona was quite cheeky tonight, laughing at Jackie after she slaps at her! I think she knew Jackie couldn’t see her 🐿!

[@Jack-se2iz]

Poor Spirit. She’s so sleepy!😀

[@priscilla8109]

Fiona's big eyes are just so adorable

[@TOTALCAMARO]

No sleeping for spirit tonight lol Fiona is having too much fun teasing Jackie. And spirit is thinking 🤔 I’m just going to lay low because mom just going to keep on slapping me instead of getting that darn squirrel 🐿

[@Seeker0628]

I think Spirit may be permanently traumatized by Jackie & Fiona's antics. Anyone else think it may have been a little bit payback for all of those freak-outs from Spirit? Spirit's yawn was too cute.

[@crystalbuhrow]

Goodness, Fiona. Definitely relentless! On a side note, one of my favorite things with J & S is when Jackie calls out into the early morning, barely light enough to see, and Shadow always answers from somewhere in the distance... it's almost soothing to hear, even if Jackie's call could wake up the entire valley.

[@steffie0383]

He sure is! Such a good guy! 🥰

[@Mrs.B32714]

Love this video Cali 🦅❤🦅 so much patience

[@miditrax]

Same Fierce expressions on Mom and daughter

[@aquamarineblue8690]

Jackie with fluff on her beak by her head 😂🤣 reminds me of Ricky and Lucy and Lucy waking up tired with the baby and Lucy’s hair is messy and in curlers 🤣😂. So funny. My tummy hurt more from laughing so much. 🤣 Jackie has had enough. She’s tired. Poor girl. 😓

[@sarahwright4104]

Fiona is a tease. That just might turn her into a snack.

[@kateeible9352]

Great video of all the action. I like the way Spirit just lays there taking all of Jackie's wing slaps lol

[@lisat9802]

YOu can hear Fiona getting cheeky with Jackie LOL

[@steemdup]

So cute and relentless! What's an eagle gotta do to get some sleep around here? Jackie will be grumpy tomorrow. I'm glad to see that Spirit handled it calmly, very much like her daddy!

[@jacquicoder7160]

She sure was persistent and Jackie was so determined to send her flying. I'm not so sure that Spirit knew what to think. Right at the end of the video, when Jackie was calling to Shadow, the look on Spirit's face was so funny. Thanks for some funny moments, Cali.

[@DigitalPixel_AnimalLover]

This made me laugh!

[@vibesof303]

Poor Jackie didn't sleep well that night. 😍🥱There's also so beautiful moon in the middle of clip. 🤩

[@steffie0383]

Poor Jackie didn't sleep a wink! Spirit got tired of being whacked 😆 you can tell they can't see anything but they can hear very well. This was SUPER funny! 😂 Jackie chooses a few choice words at the end....hear Spirit telling her just deal with it and go back to bed! 🤣

[@karenbudnick]

So funny - Jackie waits for her chance and pounces!

[@maggiejohnson5891]

It’s like they leave laughing at them 😂

[@inauna6138]

My goodnes, this is hularious🦅😅❤️

[@sophieh9387]

Poor Spirit just wants to sleep..🤣🤣🤣

[@delciadasilvaprates1562]

Fiona lindinha, corajosa e destemida 🤭🤭 espero que Fiona esteja bem, depois desta última investida da mamãe Jackie.

[@dawnpowers6233]

Fierce momma guarding her big baby girl 🤣

[@norichimu1289]

Jackie, thank you for protecting Spirit. I saw one baby attacked by a raccoon at a nest in Fort St. Vrain😭.May Spirit leave the nest safely.

[@jrowlove7328]

Jackie moved fast!

[@achism1]

DAYUM! I guess so!

[@Fullblown671]

Dang, Spirit got wingslapped in the head several times.

[@Sara-rm5ht]

I Love Jackie...💛

[@janiceplace7519]

Mommmm ..... what did I do ? Darn Flying Squirrels !! 🐾🐾

[@tammic.a.t.crazyaunttammi9275]

Oh boy oh boy, relentless for sure!! Thanks Cali!

[@tracimorrow9335]

Hilarious. .. its So Jackie and Shadow.. Keep the tradition alive Spirit ...sweet dreams...(hopefully)...xoxo..

[@carolwilliams7052]

Whoa - - Fiona was really on Jackie's spit list last night !!! Poor Spirit sure got abused in the process !!!!! Jackie obviously "Sees In The Dark" - - she came off the front porch and went right for Fiona exactly where she was !!!

[@therealangelah]

Lol poor Spirit

[@Logston1962]

I have to watch this again! Fiona better be careful or she’s going to be breakfast

[@ShaoiSaku]

Fiona is a daring! I would think about it 2.3, 5 times before trying to jump on the family property. 😱😱😄

[@barbaraperkins3747]

Don’t know how I missed this video last year! Poor Spirit has PTSD from Fiona’s antics as Jackie defends the nest.❤

[@elombard39]

Does sweet Fiona not know that ABEs eat silly, little squirrels??❣️

[@packerkats7578]

Jackie’s feather nose bling takes a little something away from her fierce look. 🪶 🙃

[@steffie0383]

I bet it's very annoying too...hope she gets it out soon. 🙃

[@sharonkerr967]

That's funny and you're right.

[@BubblePi]

I cant believe how much I'm laughing 🤣😂

[@user-vc3ye8ht8k]

how you entitled the videos make it funnier each time Cali 😂

[@eileenone8665]

Poor Spirit!🤣

[@ulrikefeller2611]

Such a good Mom Jackie, take good care of her little princess Spirit😍🦅🐥💞

[@orangeziggy348]

What gorgeous footage, Jackie is telling Spirit that she now needs to learn how to fend off Fiona.

[@pepperlee2313]

Soooo funny...this made me snort 😂😂

[@cannedkitty]

Love the cute yawn from spirit at 3:16

[@RayaEagleWings]

Lol! Relentless describes this !! Thanks Cali ☀️🌺

[@dolliemaesone]

So funny Fiona is relentless and Spirit is like what I’d do ma?

[@astridchinasen2797]

I know in the wild all creatures have an equal place but I know about squirrels because I’ve them in my backyard. They dig up tulip bulbs even though they don’t eat it. They pick the plums just for the seed and sit on a chair to eat and leave the evidence for me to clean up. They chatter and scream if you try to chase them. I wish these squirrels would stop disturbing the eagles sleep.

[@sharonkerr967]

Those darn squirrels, lol

[@peggyhunt2391]

Oh, Fiona! You're going to end up being someone's midnight snack if you keep that up!

[@IDaydreamALittleTooMuch]

I love how Fiona is talking back like "Hah, didn't get me!" She really is persistent isn't she. Does she want the egg?

[@CaliCondor]

She is looking for any scraps, the squirrels are omnivurous

[@TOTALCAMARO]

It seems like Fiona only monkeys around when Jackie’s there and not when spirit is alone at night lol 😂

[@habslover2306]

Someone posted a video of Spirit wingslapping at Fiona.

[@charleso8826]

I watched it was fun thanks for posting

[@sallyride6577]

Loved that highlight video!!

[@WilberWobbler]

Thank You - GOOD JOB !!!!! Entertaining - "Midnight Snack" risk. Nice seeing the 3AM moon in the frame,,, some nice photo opportunities. SHAME we MISSED the sunset Total Moon Eclipse over the Lake a week ago - hoped for some great Eagle-Nest-Eclipse GIFs.

[@sharonstewart6709]

Poor Spirit.

[@kmsbanr]

Protective Jackie. Nothing will threaten her baby without her fierce wing slapping. Fiona needs to take a hint and fly off!

[@sophieh9387]

🤣🤣🤣 this was great!!

[@islandgin8635]

Haha Jackie look a little frazzled by the end

[@maryshumate4629]

Mom Decorah had a persistent nocturnal visitor a couple years back, and she finally got a good wing slap in and ate it. Fionnnaaa?

[@fifiearthwanderer]

Hahahaha jackie is using fiona as an excuse to smack spirit a couple times for her fiesty behavior lately. 🤣🤣

[@gabybautista7821]

Fiona is so persistent, all night long coming back for more fluff... poor Jackie at 4:45 am she looked so angry and tired and rocking messy *hair* like Shadow's, hehehe...

[@habslover2306]

Fierce Individual On Nightly Activities

[@ersarah7325]

The other night the mystery visitor was Fiona based on the exact same sounds

[@Eleanor-hn4vg]

Not taking the hint. 😂

[@sharonkerr967]

Aww, Jackie, they get lonely too, don't whack them lol

[@ildiko1vt]

I am surprised that the eagles do not kill the squirrels? I have flying squirrels here in VT too, and they are so darn cute and small enough for an eagle to take.

[@cheex8876]

Lol.. not in my nest squirrel , take this and this and this and this and that and that and that

[@gracestrand2240]

Oh sure! I think Jackie may have wanted to wing slap her teenager covertly! 🤭I have loved Fiona from the very first time I saw her. 🤣

[@sharonkerr967]

Wow, she just smacked Spirit with her wing, bet that hurt.

[@riverratt101]

Hilarious

[@240reynoldsstreet]

Why does Jackie slap Spirit. Is Spirit one of Shadow and Jackie's offspring?

[@dixieh5555]

Sorry Spirit but I had to laugh at you getting whapped by mom shooing the squirrel away after all the fits and bites you throw at Mom and Dad.

[@js7246]

There is a squirrel in the nest. Is he nuts. Yikes

[@steveosterman]

🛌🦅😲

[@js7246]

What did spirit do to upset Jackie.

[@sophieh9387]

@cali condor can fiona hurt Spirit, bite?

[@NinjaNomad48]

Really? Ya'll are gonna leave it me to call DCF on Jackie? 😂

[@6431mastermind]

Fiona is looking for left overs.

[@sharonkerr967]

Maybe Fiona is lonely and just needs a bed buddy, I heard her squeaking

[@cjuuljohnston]

😆😅 Jackie, I'm going to slap you, get out of here..

[@karenray1925]

Please tell me, who is Fiona??? I've seen the name a lot recently, but I don't see any creature in the video! Fiona is very disturbing to Jackie. Fiona was in a video just a couple weeks ago when Spirit was sleeping alone. Pls answer, if you know.

[@Seeker0628]

For the last few years. I've noticed that Fiona gets really active this time of year cause it's the San Bernardino Flying Squirrels breeding time. I think Fi is building a den for newborns.

[@habslover2306]

Make sure to click on the link provided by Cali Condor in the pinned (first) comment above. It gives a picture of one of Fiona's "relatives". It includes information about this (adorable) endangered subspecies.

[@joannefern2642]

Are you all sure is was Fiona and not fast Freddy?!

[@dianahopson8833]

I'm curious. Why haven't Jackie or Shadow devoured Fiona or Fast Freddie by now??

[@BullToTheShit]

Is Fiona just looking for fish scraps?

[@achism1]

Who??

[@Evidence_Of_Things_Unseen]

I am pretty sure that’s Fiona 3.0. Because, those eagles would’ve eaten her long ago.

[@karenray1925]

I had a chance to see Fiona. The face looks like a rodent, but not a rat. Maybe a chipmunk, but too small for a squirrel. No body or tail was exposed. I heard a strange sqeal from it, when Jackie charged at the end of video. Anyone knows who Fiona is?? T/Y.

[@packerkats7578]

See Cali Condors post at the top. Fiona is a San Bernardino flying squirrel.

[@michelesol5425]

Can't a gal get some sleep? Don't Fiona and Fast Freddie know they can become midnight snacks if they don't cut it out?? SMH

[@js7246]

What's going on here.

[@nomado3650]

Neighbor issues 😁
