Absolutely amazing display of cooperation by both couples. Jackie defended herself brilliantly while calling out (I've got this -- I'm OK) until she felt the need for assistance, chortling for Shadow, who appeared instantly. The ravens were equally amazing, but I'm always on the side of J & S, ha ha! Great video!

I’ve always felt so proud of eagles but Bald Eagles are my favorite. In a way you can say our family identifies with eagles because the word “eagles” in Spanish is “águila” and my family’s sur name is “Aguilera” meaning Eagles Nest so we’ve always felt eagles are our mascot 😊. I recently stumbled across Jackie and Shadow on TikTok and I immediately became a fan and now I don’t miss FOBBV videos on KZbin. This is the first time I saw this particular video with the ravens and let me tell you, my pride for eagles has just gone to another level!!! Their parenting skills and the way they fiercely defend their offspring is beyond amazing!!! Eagles forever!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@ptnickb]

The ravens are the Hawk size neighbors, who are very clever, you could see them coming in from all angles, trying to flush Jackie out.

Fascinating interaction with the ravens! They thought they could tag-team Jackie off the nest, but Jackie is no stranger to ravens and their sneaky tricks! Yes, the ravens were bold, but there was no way they could dislodge Jackie off that nest! She will barely get up for Shadow to incubate. No way that mama Jackie was moving anywhere. Once Shadow came in, it was basically over. The ravens hung around just a bit for final harassment, but they knew with 2 eagles at the nest they had no chance for nest invasion. I also heard raven vocals right after Jackie left the nest. I can imagine she showed herself to them and perhaps even gave chase to further escort them away. GREAT teamwork by Jackie and Shadow!!

[@wildflower1397]

Shadow is so sweet with the eggs. He could crush them in one claw with no effort, yet he is almost dainty as he settles over them to protect. People say they do this out of instinct, but I personally believe that they understand it's a baby eaglet. It's still in the shell, but they know they are already parents, and they love the hatchling.

[@geslinam9703]

It’s not hard, watching them relate, to think they have feelings besides instinct…I like to think they do! After all, as humans, isn’t the bonding we do with our own babies and family meant to continue our species?

[@mikehalahan]

Quite a Show--Eagles and Ravens. The old 1-2 Punch executed to a "t" with Bonded Pair (H &W) Ravens doing an even better job than the Pair did this time last year. Cam 2 shows both Ravens landing in tree at same time ,catching J's attention from two different directions. She calls for backup and S lands on Outboard limb and then steps into the nest--knowing what they want is sitting under Jackie. Neither he nor J move, and Ravens finally flew off. Experience is knowing what to do and when. Our Pair are getting better at the 'Raven ' Game.

One of them is enough for them but what you don't realize is that, they were trying to distract her from the nest, the other crow would've taken the chicks if she chased the one annoying her and the mother eagle knew what they were trying to do, so she stood her ground until her mate arrived.

Dont blame the Ravens. They need food too, this is the game of nature. since the beginning of life. In turn, eagles would eat ravens eggs too.

This basically an example of how nature is both beautiful and terrifying. It's just life. Ravens need to eat; nature designed them to be carnivores. Eagles eat fish; the fish probably aren't thrilled. Sometimes prey escapes or is defended and sometimes predators get the meal. This go around, the ravens had to order takeout instead of having eggs.
