FOBBV CAM🦅Fluff & Tripod Stick🌿Shadow Gets Strafed By Unknown Adult & Goes Talons Up!⬆️✈️2024-01-24

Video footage courtesy of ‪@FOBBVCAM‬ friendsofbigbearvalley.org
@14:53 Shadow is perched on the SDS, Jackie is perched on the LS.
Shadow gets strafed by an Unknown Adult Bald Eagle while Jackie vocalizes loudly. It is hard to tell whether any significant contact was made. Shadow disengages (looks like he went talons up for a split second) and flies off the SDS. Jackie leaves the LS several minutes later.
It is not uncommon to see reduced nest attendance during territorial activity. Both J&S may need some time to deal with the UA (Unknown Adult).
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

Follow up video, Shadow is back! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWWkgoCaocSerqc

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Hoping that this adult doesn't hang around and cause trouble for Jackie and Shadow!

[@ashan1081]

I hope he's ok!

[@CuriousCat7]

*Sticky situations!* Aren't we amused by their stick "discussions"? 😂 And, it never gets old! But, after all is said and done, we have sweet moments like this. 6:07 🦅💋🦅 I pray the intruding adult leaves without further incident. We don't need anything interfering with their hormones. 🙏 Thank you, Cali Condor! 🤩 Be blessed, everyone! 😇🙏🤗🦅🌻😻💕😢

[@Skolastica]

My, my-- tempers seem to be flaring a little when the two lovebirds work on the same stick. Shadow was really standing up for himself!

[@christineh4782]

Hormones probably.

[@Whatnok]

Wow! That’s not good! Shadow be safe our darling King Shadow and Queen Jackie🙏👑🦅❤

[@sharonurschel6753]

Jackie gave Shadow the look when he tried to nip at her 👀! I hope Shadow is ok and was not hurt by that attack!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Hopefully, they will be successful at running off the intruder. They sure had some fun with that tripod stick. I guess I missed the fluff part. Thanks for giving us some insight into the life of eagles, we appreciate it.

[@jrowlove7328]

He is magnificent!

[@faithhutton1459]

Watch out Shadow! Gee, I hope that wasn't Jackie's Ex!

[@88Amps]

Oh my word!

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Shadow and his wonky sticks 🤣 Got to laugh! Bet Jackie's letting him have it under breath about what she thinks about the stick, Where the Heck are going to put it!?

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Also laughing at them both trying to do something with it and you know they are both getting mad! 😂

[@birutal4511]

The shadow is taken over by a strange adult, and it rises up, Thanks Cali Condor 🥞

[@annayeagle9429]

I swear they are worse than laurel and Hardy or Tom and Jerry but I know they make me laugh its soooo comical to watch them. Luv them both ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jackie__501]

Love it! Thank you for sharing, Cali. I missed it this morning.

[@susanmorris5520]

WOW! I just saw the end of this video and it sure looked like a hard hit for Shadow and yes,he was falling talons up and I hope he was able to turn upright to be able to fly back to safety too. God bless Shadow and Jackie too. I pray that both will continue to be safe. I would love to see Jackie kick some feather butt.😁👍🏻🦅❤️. God bless. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🙏😘🦅🦅🥰☺️🤔❌⭕️

[@sylvisterling8782]

Ooh, looks as if Jackie is getting short tempered! I wonder if that means that eggs are forthcoming. Lots of questions! Co7uld that unknown adult be Spirit? Questions!

[@GratefulDawg760]

Spirit isn’t old enough to have the white patch on his head. Takes a few years.

[@Patricia-so9rw]

Getting short tempered??!😂 My God, she's been that way for years!!🤣🤣 Shadow best behave or Jackie will blast him in a fit with her siren of LOUDNESS!!!😆😅📣🦅🦅❤❤📣

[@joycekane9024]

Oh no I hear those darn ravens 🐦‍⬛. I love to watch them with the wonky sticks. Oh stay safe Shadow and Jackie hope that intruder leaves the area and takes 🐦‍⬛ with him thanks Cali for all the videos ❤😊

[@rlcarver]

OMG I Love Them. Shadow and his sticks.😅 ❤

[@theshellmeister]

Cali Condor, do we know if instead the intruder was actually perched all along and it was Shadow that did the flyby smack down?

[@carlahorvat4547]

Wow how gorgeous ❤❤❤ great shot of him wow ❤❤

[@Loveraptors101]

Shadow is telling Jackie that it is his stick,, and he'll put it where HE wants it to go!😂❤

[@joannajudson1107]

I saw the word “fluff” in the title and got excited

[@palalechat]

Are the slo-mo sound effects from $6M Man?? 😂 Makes me so happy, I've missed that! 🦅🦅🦅😍

[@Lizanddaisy4ever]

I’m so happy that Shadow is ok and looks just fine… now bring on the baby ❤️🦅🦅…🦅

[@PossumLover1111]

The live chat on that cam is blowing up with people panicking about Shadow and the wearabouts of him. I've watched M15 in S. Florida get hit hard many times by stupid night owls and always survived alright. They get mad and stunned but I believe Shadow is alright.

[@babybirdtv-gc3vg]

Oh my word.....!😮

[@gentrykoda]

Does anyone know if Shadow is ok?? Was he able to get back up?? 😢

[@G.Photogirl]

I'm concerned about Shadow after the BE attacked him. 🙏😟Jackie visited the nest tonight after dark, isn't that unusual? Is it possible for someone to check the base area of the tree that Shadow was perched in when he got knocked off?

[@sammijj55]

My thought was well 🙏🙏🙏

[@gerdahurtak4377]

Isn’t that majestic 😍

[@deannacoleman913]

Used to the pesky raven's! Every season but other Bald Eagle's not so much 😢 we need a miracle on this nest this season its been far too long. Stay away intruders!! Sure hope shadow is ok 🦅❣️🦅

[@dawnnorman4727]

Is Shadow ok?

[@cherirolett9687]

I love the stick fights!

[@Loveraptors101]

"I just wanna help, Dear". " "Will you go sit down; lay another egg, and I'LL do the home nestorations. Geez...women." 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

[@karenmetzger354]

He did recover and soar off, and then you can see one of them flying back to the right near the bottom of the screen just afterward. Someone commented that it might've been Shadow doing the attack on an intruder in his tree. Hmmmm? I wonder.

[@lorrem2539]

I didn’t see any fluff😮

[@saracobello2600]

Dear God please get this intrude out if there U know how much we love Shsdow & Jackie please I pray fir the safety 🙏 ❤️ ♥️

[@Lizanddaisy4ever]

That was scary… looks like shadow is ok right? Stupid other bird!

[@Paul11B2P]

🎉🎉🎉

[@LIK64]

The couch ( stick) WILL NOT go there😂

[@amanda.shaffer15]

Is the pinecone a stand in for the egg? 😂

[@melissawarfield]

I love the discussion about the wonky stick and where to place it. I have to ask a question. Is Shadow alright after that attack? I'm worried for Shadow. Please reply.

[@TRountree54]

Shadow took a blow & then a terrible tumble!!!! Did the tree break his fall?

[@gracestrand2240]

What is the splash on the camera ? I missed it

[@richardaldom741]

That was quite the squabble over the mother of all sticks. I think Jackie about had a heart attack when he nearly speared her with it.

[@enricotoesca3941]

Heilà Dear Cali Condor 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@honusmom5144]

If only the stick protrusions were separate and not attached. Looks like Shadow just went down dodging. Too bad we couldn’t see him soar up after.

[@BishtrainerTai16]

J&J both make ಠ_ಠ this face when they look at the camera.

[@nancyleigh8016]

Yeah...that did not look good. Shadow is a strong guy, but he was caught off guard. Hopefully everything is ok now. And that the other eagle stays away. Nature can be rough for sure. Wait and see I guess. I did see your other video when Jackie paid a nighttime visit. No Shadow. TYVM Cali ❤

[@cyclepath55555]

Lookin good Spirt, stick around for a while next time......

[@c.a.5808]

Wow! I saw him cascade down,🫣 but I didn't see if he was able to rise and recover before it looked like the intruder came back around. Do we know if he was seen later on the camera 🤔??? I'll keep checking as I just discovered that this took place today😯!

[@drcorrigan]

During chat tonight, it seemed as if Shadow has not been seen. Hoping and praying we see him tomorrow.

[@kmillsap65]

I hope shadow is OK is anyone checking to see if he's hurt ?
