FOBBV🦅A Day In The Life Of Jackie & Shadow❤️️Wonderful Gift Of Their Presence🌲2024-04-24

Video courtesy of ‪@FOBBVCAM‬ friendsofbigbearvalley.org
The opinions presented do not necessarily reflect the opinions of FOBBV.
🥚Jackie and Shadow have withdrawn from their unhatched eggs. On 4/11, one egg was broken and disappeared in the bowl. It is unclear if there was any development inside. On 4/13, Jackie consumed at least one remaining egg (no signs of development). The last (third) egg still remains in the nest (hidden in fluff).
We have no way of knowing why the egg did not hatch. It could be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, oxygen levels at high altitude, etc. It could be biological with something just being off at the time the eggs were created. It is very unlikely that either Jackie or Shadow are infertile since they have already had 2 sets of chicks together - in 2019 and 2022.
ℹResident Bald Eagle male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
ℹResident Bald Eagle female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012

When I have troubling days, I think about what S&J would do. They have sustained me during some really trying days. I tell myself I need to be strong minded like Jackie, yet be a soft soul like Shadow. ❤

[@susierider55]

What S & J would do…get a stick! They are magnificent creatures.

[@sonflowersue.CHOOSE.L0VE]

Nicely said. They can really smooth out the wrinkles in a day. ❤🦅🦅💕

[@Clover5419]

Not only are they nurturing to each other….they nurture WE who all watch them.

[@micheleobarow3716]

Thank you Cali Condor and FOBBVCAM for this gift. My husband is going through a challenging health situation and Jackie and Shadow's forty-minute visit to their home sweet home lifted my heart immensely xoxo

[@CoExist64]

Prayers for your husband..and you. God bless you both

[@sonflowersue.CHOOSE.L0VE]

He is such a homebody, always decorating, and rearranging the furniture in the place. He really should consider constructing a roof on that log cabin for next winter, I bet Jackie would appreciate not being buried in snow so often. Love them. 🦅🩷🦅

I agree Susan! It’s amazing how God has used these two in “my own life”, to see that we can get through anything. They are like a married couple as my husband & I, We go through what comes our way, “ together”. The storms may come, the winds may blow, like J.& S. have & do face, but with an endurance, of the power of love, & dedication to each other. When looking at these two, it’s like really looking into the hearts of man. We humans take care of each other, as a couple united, & J.&S. have illustrated they do exactly the same thing , united together! They have showed us for months, what it’s like to “stand together “, in the best, & in the worst times. Human life, human marriages, relationships, can learn a lot from these spectacular bald eagles! If anything, a greater appreciation for life! To just “ roll with the punches” , keep “soaring on”, LIFE, is precious. Just like J.&S.! 😊🥰🙌.

Be still my heart! What a wonderful treat to have J & S treat us to such an extended version of "being" with them...and Jackie hogging the camera was fantastic! Such a beauty. They must know how much the world misses seeing them like this everyday. I know I continue to think of what they're doing several times throughout my day. ❤🦅🦅❤️

[@jacquicoder7160]

What a long, wonderful visit to the nest. I hope we will continue to see these visits as we do enjoy seeing them so much. Thanks for gifting us with another DITL video, Cali.

[@De.D1]

Jackie and Shadow visit the nest, Thanks Cali Condor

[@paulasydney]

Thank you so much for this. I've missed them so much. Everyday I've looked they've been gone. The tine difference between us makes it harder to catch them these days. You just made my day! How amazing would it be if they had another clutch 🙏 for Jackie and Shadow to stay safe and happy 🦅🦅💖💖

[@CoExist64]

She’ll be fertile Nov-Mar, so look forward to another clutch then…

I do hope they will surprise us with at least one more new egg. 🐣

[@De.D1]

Met too! Miracles can happen.🙏🥰💕

[@CoExist64]

Not until Nov-Mar, which is when Jackie is fertile. Enjoy the time we get to see them in the nest when it’s not mating season because it is rare. There will be no more eggs…

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

​@CoExist64 Appreciate you saying that, Not Being a jerk, But I've said it plenty of times, Seems to do no good

[@CoExist64]

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

@CoExist64 Yeah me too. You as well!

[@talia77us]

I thought about them after my bird had her egg. It was unviable and that's fine. She was fine because she moved on quickly.

[@nomado3650]

The weather in the valley is truly insane. It’s hard to believe that it’s California.

[@SuziQ-py4rn]

Great video, thank you Cali for providing these wonderful clips of Jackie and Shadow... They are such fun to watch, never knew it would be so interesting..😂

[@enricotoesca3941]

Hello fantastic Cali Condor 🤗👋

[@loisrussell3649]

This brings so much calm for me i feel for Shadow he just seems so sad after losing their babies hes an amazing Eagle

[@barbarateeter1010]

They r very quiet today love to hear them talk but too busy fixeing up the nest⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️👍👍🙃🙃🤗🤗💕💞✨

[@Yanquetino]

Ah, yes! Makes my day to again see them being eager eagles. Not sure what Jackie was doing under the fluff. Going after the last egg…? Whatever it was, she sure dirtied her beak. They both seemed to be on a lookout for something.

Oh, Shadow! Were you squatting on the last egg when Jackie blew in @ 0:42 ??? 😆

[@kpoplvr08]

lol it looked like he was about to go sit and then jackie flew in and stopped him

[@dianegonzales7345]

🙏 😔

[@Jenniferjennings1031]

How often will they mate? Heartbreaking they lost all 3 of the eggs 🥚😔

[@CoExist64]

Yearly November-March

[@CoExist64]

Well that’s when she’s fertile, they mate year-round to strengthen their bond

[@sjohnson1876]

What was Jackie doing digging in the nest bowl?

[@clairewatson3868]

Looks like they still have ants :(

[@kathrynnard8059]

Is it too soon?

[@CoExist64]

Nov-Mar is when Jackie is fertile, look forward to next season…
