🥚Jackie and Shadow have withdrawn from their unhatched eggs.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).

I loved the moment when the stick moved and Jackie jumped. Shadow moved the stick over to the other side of the nest. Jackie and Shadow are so beautiful and such loving Eagles.

[@SimplyLolly]

I seriously LOL'd when that stick scared her…😂😂😂… then she looked around like "geez, hope no one saw that!"🫣😂

[@addison6384]

I think she thought she got goosed by a stick.

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

​@@addison6384Thought that too!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Omgosh, you put it perfectly. 😂😂😂😂

[@SimplyLolly]

@@addison6384 A great & powerful Bald Eagle getting goosed…😂… that’s too funny!! (She definitely wouldn’t want anybody to see that either ~ I could totally see Fiona making a wild tale outta that to tell her friends! 🤭😂🤭😂)

[@lindaepifano3342]

I ve watched that a few times So cute. 1:27

[@w.s.9295]

This is such a fantastic pairing. I absolutely love their interaction with each other, so very special!

[@G.Photogirl]

It's always a gift to witness moments in their love story, I'm always amazed how quiet their lift off from the nest is, and how neat it is to hear only the soft flapping of their massive wings as they fly away. That last scene of them seen in silhouette at the roost tree... priceless. 🥰🦅🦅

[@carlahorvat4547]

And their love of sticks too 😂

[@inlovewithlove2]

I love how they work together ❤️. So sweet to watch them.

[@paulettemaldonado862]

The Jackie and shadow reality show is back! They have no idea how they’re being watched but they make me laugh. They are hilarious. These are two strong Eagles They just rub off the bad things they go through and keep going that teaches me to be like them and just keep going. pick yourself up when bad things happen and keep going. Don’t let nothing get you down. These are majestic powerful wonderful biblical, loving beautiful Eagles 🦅 they are one of my favorites and just to see them even once in a while come back to the nest. The things that they do and the bond that they have is incredible and they are hilarious. They make me laugh. This is one of the best nests in Eagle land, love you, Jackie and shadow keep up the hard and good work. Trust the Eagles.❤!

[@theck672]

I love seeing these two no matter what is going on…😍😍

[@dolliemaesone]

Thank you Cali busy busy even at bedtime ❤aww roost time

[@carolinaprexl3874]

Ill Find My Own Shadow🥰

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

Awww 🫶🏻

[@jimturnbull2343]

Shadow had set a booby trap stick that would flip up on Jackie’s butt and make her jump!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Jackie was a bit jumpy tonight, convinced that stick was going to bite her. It is sweet to see them cuddled together on the RT. Hope all have SED tonight.

[@ingridruiz-meijer6089]

Just wake up and went to see.Jackie.and Shadow They bring me in such a good mood Soo cute Love them 💕. ❤

[@deannaamadi7068]

That was the cutest 😂🥰. Jackie did get startled, but Shadow also cracked me up. He starts aerating the nest, but was not impressed with that job. Jackie moves a stick and he is all over that job. Then while he is on stick detail, Jackie says I’m done. Leaves him standing there like “what”, “we’re through “? 😂 He was just getting started with the sticks, 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

Shadow is like: woman, I said not to touch the throne I have built for you.

[@user-cc1gq8bw3f]

These two make me smile every time I see them ! Love them both so very much ❤️ 💕

[@laurela.6327]

💖

[@honusmom5144]

Jackie jumped at the stick and Shadow’s approach. Wonder what has been going on off nest? Nice to see them both. Thank you Cali. 😊

[@nomado3650]

Jackie was startled twice by stick and Shadow Lol. They’re precious 😁🦅🦅❤

[@nancyleigh8016]

It's so nice to see them together at home. They truly are a loving couple. Their nest looks so cozy. The view of the lake from the tree is so pretty. I know. I've been there many times😊 TYVM Cali❤

[@erikap2113]

That jump scare by Jackie was too funny❤ & sweet Shadow always watching his lady

[@LauraB-cn6sp]

In love always!

[@mariainman3618]

😂 noisy landing ❤❤...I had to rewatch that a second time... haven't seen Jackie jump that higher move that fast in a long time😂❤🦅.... She was in fighting stance... ready to take on anybody who might've been invading her nest..... She even jumped when shadow came to the nest.

[@barbarakrall4331]

Yes, same, LOL!! When she landed her weight pushed the end of a stick down so that the curved end moved up (kinda like a teeter totter) so that it brushed against her tail when she turned around. I think that's what startled her! But yes, she still raised her wings a bit when Shadow landed. Love these two!

[@user-ix5pl4et9q]

Jackie and shadow are out on date night. May God bless you always Amen 🙏 ❤❤

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

Omg they are just so damn cute 🥰

[@randquadrozzi1280]

Love the eagles.

[@SimplyLolly]

With all the housekeeping & rearranging, has Jackie or Shadow ever tried moving the camera? (Love when they get all up close & personal with it… seeing these gorgeous creatures IN THE WILD like this is so fascinating!!😍🥰)

[@jaimegreenlee7151]

I don’t know about Jackie and Shadow, but there are videos showing Spirit getting some camera nibbles in. I believe they are also by Cali. So cute!

[@300gjw]

Shadow is like “leave my sticks alone”

[@Yanquetino]

That was cute! Whoops! What just goosed me? Once again they were dusk digging intko the fluff. Must be a reason, but we can only guess…? They're sure a dedicated duo, aren't they? LOVE 'em!

[@addison6384]

Yep, I knew it. Shadow has OCD. He makes the stick fit where he wants it to be and doesn't give up until it happens. But where's Pine Cone.

[@dianahopson8833]

These two love birds are doing 'nesteorations' and getting ready for next season and maybe some little Es. Hopefully anyway.

[@disieg1160]

Loved seeing Jackie fly in with such force! The stick scaring her was a hoot. 😁 Nest tending with a passion, for sure. Is this usual behavior for them at this time? I've just begun my passion/obsession with them this year. Lucky me! ❤🦅❤️🦅

[@Linda-eb3kn]

That gave me a smile to start my day thank you Jackie!

[@bethhogan4338]

That was funny! And then the moving of the stick so it couldn't scare her again!! 😂

[@pumpupjam9648]

Laughed seriously Out loud!!! Hahahahaha ... best scary one yet!

[@roserussom335]

This is priceless ❤

[@tekarock]

0:12 That was me in a crowded lift when I feel something touched my butt 😂🤣.

[@susanmorris5520]

Thank you Cali for your videos of our wonderful pair Jackie and Shadow who I feel always express love and affection towards each other all the time and I don’t think they argue too much either.🥰❤️🦅🦅. I even love when they give each other beakie kisses too. God bless Jackie and Shadow always and it’s always a joy to see them too. Thank you Cali for another wonderful video too.❤️🥰🦅🦅🙏🤗❌⭕️

[@seraphtarot8610]

I love them ❤

[@lauriealicea5566]

Absolutely precious, these two are.

[@lfritos5331]

❤Way too funny❤ Forever entertaining !😮

[@sonyagraske376]

Jackie..... 😂

[@pamelasertich9850]

What a LOL moment

[@marlaclarambeau327]

Does all the nest rearranging that has been happening recently, signify anything like maybe more eggs, or is this just normal? They are dedicated lovebirds, yet sometimes they are a comedy duo!😂

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

@No it's normal

[@steemdup]

Jackie: Who was that? Stick: hehe

[@300gjw]

I surprised they don’t ever sleep in the nest when they are not incubating?

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

I kinda wondered that myself 🤔

[@barbarafiskewold9619]

Should be required watching for marriage counseling!

[@cherylscott7134]

Amen to that!!

[@darlenesmith6693]

I love the crackling sound the sticks make and when Princess Jackie got scared of the stick it was hilarious how sweet was that performance i couldn't stop laughing . Prince Shadow and Princess Jackie brings my son and myself alot of joy just watching them playing with the sticks . Great photography work so professionally done and we love the closeups .

[@deniselanglois6193]

I’ve never seen her work so hard on stick placement

[@nanakaragyan4044]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@tekarock]

My future Online Dating App profile “Single mum looking for my Shadow” 😊😁

[@bethhogan4338]

Shadow appears to still be looking for something...pieces of eggshell?

[@lb1460]

Jackie:"who dat!" The queen girl had a momentary startle😮❤🦅🦅

[@MusicLove-jd5xf]

I never seen a nest with this many sticks. Good to see them again.

[@sarahmarks7082]

Dear Jackie that was adorable 🤣🥰 to give the lady credit, eagles 🦅can't see in the dark and she was def embarrassed 😘 Jackie and Shadow look majestic even when they're cleaning up the nest 🏡

[@gmac8395]

Poor Jackie. Why is she so jumpy? Did something happen earlier to put her on edge? Intruder maybe?

[@nettajar1938]

😆Sorry, I couldn't help, but laugh when that stick surprised Jackie!!! What a nice way to end a video . . . Jackie and Shadow, sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage . . . Ooooppppssss, didn't mean to show my age there.

[@Sean_1970]

Reflex 👌🤣👍

[@kathrynnard8059]

I don't get why they are preparing the nest if hatching is in the fall.

[@courtneycarter4493]

it is so good to see them❤ I love this family.💕 and nest and of course big bear🌲

[@destis1]

😂😂

[@jjespinoza1105]

Will J&S continue coming back and forth to the nest?

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Yes

[@ingridruiz-meijer6089]

Hope so ❤️🧡

[@magnoliap5824]

Yes but they will take longer breaks during the summer.

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

@@magnoliap5824 Yeah they will but it is sure nice to see them!

[@jjespinoza1105]

Do eagle couples stay together 24/7 or do they venture off and come back during mating season?

[@ramadasa77]

👍🙏🤗💓

[@LL-th2hw]

Lol!!

[@annwilliams1073]

Do they always roost together same tree,same branch?

[@dawnmanley6406]

😂 J&S are always entertaining.

[@deniselanglois6193]

Is she preparing nest to lay eggs
