After one egg was lost yesterday, Jackie and Shadow return to tend to their nest. They inspect the remaining eggs, aerate the bowl vigorously and work around the remaining eggs.
Later, they are seen mating on the Lookout Snag for the second time today.
One egg was broken on 4/11 and disappeared (possibly disintegrated) in the bowl. It is unclear if there was any development inside. The two remaining unhatched eggs are still in the bowl, but they are hard to see in the IR light.

🥚Jackie and Shadow are letting go of their unhatched eggs and continue their incubation withdrawal process. Jackie was last seen incubating on 4/8, Shadow - on 4/11.
We have no way of knowing why the egg did not hatch. It could be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, oxygen levels at high altitude, etc. It could be biological with something just being off at the time the eggs were created. It is very unlikely that either Jackie or Shadow are infertile since they have already had 2 sets of chicks together - in 2019 and 2022.
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
