[@iladavis1694]

Shadow and Jackie's genetics have definitely come through in a super volume mix with this beautiful baby. The valley hasn't been the same. 💖 Spirit is progressing into a fearsome beautiful eagle. 😍🥰

[@janajamer734]

Very much so! Since she's such a force of nature to be reckoned with now, just imagine what she'll be like when she's an adult and ready to become a Mama! Her mate will chosen wisely!💞 Just wait til she's incubating when a 🐟or wonky stick shows up? Her mate's talons better be made of leather! 😅😂🤣😭

[@deborahhughes6923]

Oh gosh yes,sure hope shes ok out there! Hope all is well with each of them.🦅🌲🦅🦅

[@deborahhughes6923]

How cute is this??? Oh gosh so cute...

[@ShaoiSaku]

Oh, Spirit... You are getting stronger and more independent... Until dad or mom show up and you become their little girl again. ❤️

[@iladavis1694]

Cali Condor Thank you so much for the blessings you have given us all daily with your great coverage of these amazing birds. 💘

[@jacquicoder7160]

Well, she hasn't yet fully forsaken the nest nor stopped looking to her parents to feed her. Looks like we may still her with us for a while. Thanks for capturing these moments for us, Cali.

[@marybobbio6190]

She is so beautiful princess spirit she’s so pretty I’ve loved watching her grow up she has gotten so big so happy for shadow and Jackie ! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻😘

[@shirleyhoy5544]

Thanks Cali for capturing this time with Spirit and Jackie! Spirit is beautiful. And yes ... I can't believe I'm in love with this Eagle! ❤️❤️

[@janajamer734]

I know, that love just kinda snuck up on you, huh?🦅

[@debrapeasley2606]

I always thought bald eagles were beautiful, but after watching Spirit close-up, I have to say she's stunning. When the wind blew, parting darker feathers to reveal glimpses of white- Wow. Spirit is gorgeous. Thank you for the close-ups.

[@Jack-se2iz]

Jackie is an incredible mom. As soon as Spirit calls, she flies in. Love how Spirit checks to see if she’s still there and gives her mom peeps.

[@kerryguzman8263]

Spirit's squealing is saying thank you mom for bringing me another fish I was hungry

[@sharlynst]

Spirit came home to wish me a Happy Birthday 🎊

[@itsjim2875]

Happy Birthday, Sharon!

[@soundadvice1871]

What a wonderful birthday treat! 🎂🍭🍰🦅💕

[@faithannhochgurtel3099]

Happiest of Birthdays to you! 🎂

[@janajamer734]

Happy Anniversary of UR Birth!🦅

[@gladysedgell2410]

Thank you so much for giving us all these wonderful and sweet videos of this Big Bear eagle family 🦅 . I enjoy all your clips and funny titles. Much love to you Cali Condor ♥️

[@mf9661]

I feel so lucky to have seen this live. After not seeing her yesterday at the nest this was a treat to watch after a long day at work. She is stunning and the views behind her only add to her glory. I also love when I get lucky and catch a sneeze live on camera. There’s something so adorable about seeing her sneeze!

[@joenicholson3447]

I will never forget this high Spirited Lady !!!!!! She is my absolute favorite of all Eagles !!!! I love every feather on her !!!!!! and may GOD always be with her !!!!

[@douglas9220]

Screaming Eagles is quite right in her case. It's a joy just to see them every single day.

[@easygoing1571]

Spirit: Mom! Dad! Where you at ?? Well it’s about time !! 😂❤️🦅🦅🦅❤️

[@washoe1985]

Another wonderful episode in the series “Days of our Eagle Lives.” Thank you Cali Condor.

[@sophieh9387]

Jackie is the best Mom.. She is always around and knows what is best for Spirit.. Its amazing to watch this family. Thank you Cali, for posting such lovely clips! 🦅🌿

[@Sean_1970]

What a perfect 👌 for Specimen! Jackie and Shadows DNA.. Spirt is just perfect & Simba 🦅🦅

[@easygoing1571]

Beautiful Camera work Cali Condor! Spirit you are such a beautiful girl ! ❤️🦅🦅🦅❤️

[@charlesyeoni0112]

From a tiny bobble head to a beautiful princess ❤🦅❤ J&S really love their little girl who kept calling them to feed her and more fish fish fish 😅😅🦅

[@suzactu3725]

So great of you to capture these special moments with Spirit. 💖

[@leazer44]

Ah ! Beautiful Spirit! Jackie and Shadow must be so proud of her, despite being the “ Squee Queen!”

[@elombard39]

2:26 our girl looks well fed.🥰🥰

[@catfishm.1361]

Maybe it’s a day she hadn’t found any food to her liking so she calls on the parents to provide! Maybe she seen mom had a fish and knew if she went to the nest and called, mom would bring it to her!? However it went, glad to still see them at the nest tree! 👍🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@alro11]

thanks for this awesome video! Spirit is so great and fun to watch ! i love all their personalities ! squee squee🤍🦅

[@janmurphy7108]

Yet another interesting behavior from these precious eagles. I feel fortunate to be able to watch them like this. Wish I could be there in-person. Thank you Cali🙂

[@cheryld1579]

She's quite a bird; I love her too.

[@mercy92399]

Spirit has grown to be a graceful eagle...

[@privatsitazen]

Spirit really looks female now...broad shoulders and beak looks larger. Also Spirits face looks more matured. I wish we were able to see if Spirit ever follows Jackie or Shadow to the lake to watch them fish. That nest looks like a total wreck, lol.

[@janajamer734]

That's what happens when leaving tHa nest unattended, ransacking by tHa "Cirque du Nocturne featuring Fiona and Fast Freddie"! Besides raiding Spirit's pantry and comfy bed, they must be playing Jenga while we are sleeping! 😴

[@PrimitiveIcon]

don't chya feel old watching the white feathers come through hehe 💗

[@mariaparra8025]

Gorgeous princess dancing on the sky 🌸🤍🌸

[@janajamer734]

Princess Spirit 🦅 mantles her prey just so beautifully! 💞

[@sallyride6577]

Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you Cali!!

[@Hannah-ks4mi]

Spirit has spirit! A healthy but demanding girl who knows what she wants and won't stop until she gets it. Ma and Pa know she's still very young and will support her appropriately. But they also employ tactics to help her understand that you can't always get what you want. I love this eagle family! Thank you Cali x and thank you FOBBV CAM for the close up you dear sweet volunteers ❤

[@janajamer734]

You're right! And I've learned that in Nature, there are no laws that are set in stone! We already know that Princess Spirit is intelligent and have conquered many milestones. And there is NO way that Mama Jackie and Papa Shadow will send THEIR out into tHa 🌎 without have mastering ALL tHa necessary skills needed for her survival, no matter how long it takes! They will NOT set her up for failure of any kind! This Eagle family understands true family dynamics and display their unconditional love for one another 💞

[@cathyrig3323]

And A Princess she is ♥ Thanks Cali Her vocals are Queenly lol

[@mrs.psclass4561]

Thank you, Cali Condor, for this beautiful video. It's a keeper! And for all you do!💖💜

[@minoububu]

Thank you again and again for all the beautiful videos, Cali💕..Spirit is a true beauty..she has developed into an imposing strong eagle🦅..I love it when the family talks to each other, this lute is just great📣..

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

Thanks Cali - - ❤ all your excerpts !!! W.O.W. - - the poor nest is full of so many twigs and sticks that it sure looks mighty uncomfortable these days !!!

[@debrajones2747]

Spirit sure is a pretty eagle. Glad Jackie and Shadow had a hatch this year. Great parents to her as well.

[@RayaEagleWings]

Thank you Cali for all your wonderful videos so that we can share moments and time with this lovely Eagle family. We appreciate it. I look forward every day to seeing them & seeing Spirit live on the nest yesterday was a great! Missed her So good to see her beautiful Spirit 🦅💕🌺

[@scamassassin2538]

Spirit: “Waiter!!…. Waitress!!….. I’m here for my reservation!…… Hell-OOOO?!!! Let me speak to the manager!! This Nest-aurant sucks!!”🦅😱🤣🤣

[@janajamer734]

That's coz her pantry is raided by SBFS!

[@davemack7740]

lol . . Still a big baby wanting her fish 🐠

[@mariaparra8025]

Princess called mom o daddy and great parents bring food to the gorgeous spirit 🤍🌷🤍🌸🤍🌷

[@Angiehere-1]

Thank you Cali! Love seeing these two!

[@sherryfuzesy9030]

Looking at contented Spirit dozing on her perch the last day I saw mama bring her a fish drives home that she is still very young, so, really do hope that wherever she is mom is nearby! Thanks 💚🌹

[@saracobello2600]

Ahhhh Spirit is sooooo beautiful. He has growing so big .God protect them. If I can only hug him & kiss him. What a pretty view. It is so windy it makes him sleepy.I love to hold him so he can sleep in my arms.Love u Spirit.

[@janajamer734]

Spirit is a her, not a him!

[@Yennefer1173]

Just like her momma 💞😏

[@birutal4511]

Spirit is already great but asks for fish from parents 🐟💞Thank Cali Condor.

[@joyceserra8091]

Spirit knows Mom will bring fish when she squawks loud enough

[@mariaparra8025]

Be safe gorgeous spirit 🌹🌸⭐️🌸🦅🙏

[@bobbiesassaman3244]

She’s so majestic

[@photocostumer1]

As usual this beautiful family made my day. Spirit is growing up to fast:(

[@mariaparra8025]

She’s gorgeous 💫🌟💫🌟🌸🌷🤍🌸🌸🤍🌷

[@soundadvice1871]

Yes indeed! 💘🦅💕🐥💖

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

She’s enjoying her family. I always worry when they finally leave. It’s kind of sad too.

[@tatanishabryant2432]

so sweet and precious

[@yourenough3]

Such a beautiful baby 💖

[@sherryfuzesy9030]

Thanks again Cali for a long look at Spirit whom I miss so much! She left suddenly, unexpectedly, and her calls still sound like the juvi red tail to me. But, I am no expert.

[@EricaC79]

Miss her

[@johngiles132]

The footage at the end of this video from the second cam looks like Jackie (or Shadow) was training Spirit to chase her while she was carrying a stick. That, or Jackie didn't feel like being attacked by Spirit in the nest immediately after delivering a stick. 😊

[@missdeb1842]

I miss spirit ❤️

[@cecaglion2882]

Uauuu!!! Vídeo! !! Spirit Love Jackie.

[@nunyabizness1004]

her voice is sounding different to me. a smidge deeper, maybe? more raspy less screechy? idk. it's been about a week since i checked in so not sure if i'm imagining it.

[@davemack7740]

Seems he always brings those fish 🐠 back with no heads, guess he likes eating those fish eyeballs

[@jenniferb2164]

Most of the spines of fish are oriented backward so will only go down one way. So they take the head off before giving it to their young, so it doesn't get stuck in their crops. Today he left the head on. 🙂

[@jenniferb2164]

I Should of said, Jackie did on the 2nd fish delivery.

[@cmiranda.2771]

Who are these other eagles? Why aren't Jackie and Shadow protecting Spirit from them?

[@jenniferb2164]

They probably do not see them as a threat

[@cmiranda.2771]

@@jenniferb2164 she's a Princess and needs a chaperone

[@janisbeg8306]

Don’t you think they are Shadow and Jackie, you just can’t tell from the camera which is which?

[@darialemon7647]

Last night I was watching Fiona bouncing all over the nest, then she ran up the big tree trunk and it appeared that she fell. Did anyone else see this .

[@salloom1949]

Anyone knows what is the status of the unhatched egg?

[@gabbytmb]

Still in the bowl under fluff and the sticks. :)

[@robyn7862]

Spirit cannot yet hunt for her own food....parents will provide food for the first 6 months

[@janajamer734]

And longer if necessary. I can't believe that set her up for failure of any kind when she's ready to see tHa 🌎
