Jackie- This is the perfect "stick" for Shadow, my Mr. Stickman ! Looks as if we have many decisions to make where the best placement will be. Cali, thank you for the video, such a lovely end to my day. xoxo

Brilliant Jackie! ♥️🦅♥️

[@Yanquetino]

It always astounds me to see evolved proclivities surface. The cooler weather, the sun's angles, must prompt these two lovebirds to tidy up the nursery, feeling the possibility of growing their family again. LOVE 'em! And Jackie is back at it early this morning!

[@RelOKeefe]

Magnificent!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Will Shadow be jealous because Jackie brought the first stick? She looked so proud of herself. Thanks for capturing this delightful moment for us, Cali.

[@jacquip644]

...she might be thinking, if you want something done better do it yourself!😂

[@jeffsawyer8468]

[@DebbyMorris14]

I’m excited to see these dear friends of ours, back to their fall routine, of preparing for the weeks ahead, It’s so mesmerizing to me! They know what they want when spending time in their nest, & how to get it perfectly arranged, & comfortable! 😁. Love you both J.& S.! ❤🙏.

[@mariaparra8025]

[@melissawarfield]

The Queen arrived! Jackie has decisions to make with the help of Shadow. Jackie is off to find Shadow.

[@msb4526]

It tis the season

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Hoping for a Wonderful Season for Her and Shadow! She Doesn't lay Her Eggs till January, So They Have Plenty of Time to Make The Nest More Awesome!

[@diannesenko8414]

I wonder what she is thinking about? You can see in her eyes that she is giving that stick some great thought, but not quit sure what to do. Such a beautiful creature 🩷

[@Linda-pg3so]

🥰💖🦅🦅

[@lesleywood76]

Yipeeeeee there back ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Renee406Mt]

[@Sean_-ED]

Oooor sweetie Jackaline! 💚🦅🦅

[@Eleanor-hn4vg]

[@honusmom5144]

Lumber Jackie is ready for nesting season! Thank you Cali.

[@navirose9133]

Always the best smile of the day! I think she was checking the blueprint when she first arrived for best placement. 😉

[@lynmcfadden4469]

Liked everyone’s, so excited to see her!

[@FotomakerAcademy]

Oh good! There weren't enough sticks ...😅

[@jerimarie56]

They need to get it softer for sitting…. 😊

[@Susan-hc1nq]

Here we go!

[@miditrax]

One Sticky stick, Jackie! 😆 Maybe ShadMan can help it over the railing 🦅

[@Unavaiable]

I love sticks

[@eagleacrosstheback]

Ok who was leaning back with her when she was pulling the stick?!?! Cause I know I was!

[@Paul11B2P]

🎉🎉🎉

[@HeidiLovesNYC]

❤️

[@brokenh8911p]

❤❤ praying for Jackie and shadow to be safe this winter and praying for their eggs to hatch this time I’m just wondering since they’re both 12 or 14 years old if the fertilization isn’t gonna happen or can they still hatch

[@renepena3024]

Love this couple. Why does it seem so noisy? It sounds like a motorcycle convention is going through.

[@rcvillapando]

Queen Jackie > human monarchs combined

[@JustTheFactsMaam]

Lumber Jackie, busy at work.

[@sharonperry5213]

💙💙💙💙🙏💥🌟

[@sharonperry5213]

They need some soft fluff to lay eggs on.

[@peggyhunt2391]

What was she staring at in the nest, I wonder?

[@suemanuel3694]

I was wondering that as well. Maybe a critter (Fiona..?) down inside the nest…?

[@peggyhunt2391]

​@@suemanuel3694something sure caught her eye. Maybe she remembered there was an egg there?

[@kindabluejazz]

Looked like she's a bit out of practice on the landing with big stick in foot; and then lots of pondering what to do with it. She needs to get back into her nesting rhythm.

[@SW13333]

So happy to see J+S beginning a new season!🩷💙 Shadow will move the stick, then Jackie moves it back -lol. Cali if you read this - - was there a season between Cookie+Simba and Spirit that J+S had failed eggs? Also how many seasons - 2 or 3 - after Spirit that there were failures due to crows eating viable eggs or the eggs being non-viable. Sorry so long - I must write this down so I won't forget. Thanks for taking time to share with us. The sound and video are great! Stephanie

[@CaliCondor]

Yes on both counts, there were several unsuccessful seasons in a row. The previous couple, Lucy and Ricky, were also unsuccessful for several seasons in a row. You can find all details here: www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagle-history/

@CaliCondor - Thanks Cali! - Stephanie
