FOBBV🦅Just Cannot Get Over How Beautiful Jackie Is❤️️😊2024-04-01

🥚Egg1 was laid 1/25 16:55 bit.ly/48OfNt5, Egg2 was laid 1/28 13:59 bit.ly/3OkpEi7, Egg3 was laid on 1/31 17:58 bit.ly/3SGTwb5 .
It is unlikely that the eggs will hatch at this point. We have no way of knowing why. 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.
When eggs don’t hatch, Jackie and Shadow may start withdrawing from incubation eventually (they usually over incubate for several weeks, details can be found in our Activity Log). Withdrawal is always a process and it happens gradually with longer and longer breaks. Shadow may be a little bit more stubborn than Jackie (this is something we have observed in the past). Left unattended, the eggs may eventually be scavenged by ravens or other animals. The nest cameras are live 24/7/366 weather and maintenance permitting.
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

Like a lion is the king of the jungle, Jackie is the Queen of the sky. She is so mesmerizing to watch & I thank you and FOBBV for letting all of us into their world to watch, learn & marvel the beauty nature has gifted us with ❤

[@dorothysekellick612]

Beautifully stated! Bravo 👏👏👏!

[@adventist123]

Memorizing? I think that you meant to say mesmerizing. In that case, I fully agree. Jackie is absolutely stunning.

The founding fathers were right when they decided on the bald eagle over the turkey as our national bird and symbol❤

私はShadow、Jackieの諦めない姿に感動しました。人間より凄いです。 二人共ちゃんと食事してね。身体には気を付けて😊これからも応援します❤

[@pumpupjam9648]

Isn't it just amazing with a camera up there in their little love nest, and we get to SEE how beautiful these birds are. Jackie, is gorgeous! So is her mate Shadow. It just gives me goose bumps and those magnificent feathers!

[@jacquicoder7160]

It is indeed amazing!

[@svjnsf]

They are really gorgeous pair. I'm heartbroken for them. They are such devoted parents !

[@magdalenarodriguez3652]

They are absolutely gorgeous!! In love with this two❤

[@leezirkle7840]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is completely captured by their beauty. My family thinks I'm obsessed. Lol

[@karenmetzger354]

I savored every second of those very special moments with Jackie.

[@Yanquetino]

She truly is! And can have such a determined, fierce, focused look in her eyes.

[@patriciaeisert8483]

What an amazing opportunity to be able to watch these amazing eagles. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.

[@featherbabymom5706]

Wow, stunning, just stunning. I so love Jackie and Shadow. ❤

[@user-cc1gq8bw3f]

Thank you so very much for these beautiful videos. Jackie ans Shadow are truly magnificent ❤

[@Sean_1970]

Wonder if there is a sixth sense that with the camera's 📸 unusual objects if she & Shadows know they are Special & posing for us lol. She is stunning & both look very healthy 👌It's that fluffy head in the breeze 😂 Magnificent pose Jackie 🌟💚🦅

[@seraphtarot8610]

Thank you for this wonderful footage. Jackie is mesmerizing. I love her ❤️❤️ she is a role model, sitting in the snow for days with no complaint and forging on in the elements taking whatever is before her in the present moment in stride.

[@OneMeanArtist]

Such a beautiful animal. What a privilege it is to have this camera where it is.

[@franciscajameshernandez7715]

Jackie more than earns awe and admiration from the human world. I hope we can continue to protect her, her family and her habitat indefinitely! Long live queen Jackie! ❤🦅

[@vonroe6910]

She really is an Eagle of Eagle's.

[@TauAlphaCProductions]

Just amazing birds. I didn't realize how far they can turn their heads. Eagles are my spirit bird. Love them so much, and watching Jackie & Shadow has given me new insight into their characters. Thanks for sharing.

[@susanmorris5520]

Thank you Cali Condor for such a beautiful video of sweet and very beautiful Jackie❤️🥰🦅. I surly do love Jackie and Shadow so much and it amazes me all that they have to endure but still stay strong and keep on going too. Definitely a lot to learn from these two precious Eagles. I absolutely love all Eagles (especially here in SWFL). I honestly just wish that the States that have to deal with snow which I do know about being born and raised in NE Ohio but live in Sunny Florida buy, I just wish that all animals along with the Eagles didn’t have to go through these kinds of Winters and snowstorms. Thanks again and avoid bless. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🙏🦅🦅🥰🌼🌸😎❌⭕️

[@nancyculliton1540]

They are truly more beautiful than the other eagles on tube. All are magnificent creatures but Shadow and Jackie are just captivating 🦅

[@sarahmarks7082]

Bless 🙏 Jackie and Shadow 🦅! They are still incubating those eggs 🥚🥚🥚 through the storm ⛈️

She looks so peaceful and alert. Love you Jackie

[@SuziQ-py4rn]

Thank you to Cali and all the other volunteers for making us feel as if we're there (which we are in spirit) ...These are GREAT videos and commentary on what is going on.... It will be very hard to watch once they eventually leave the nest. I just love how they settle so gently onto the nest and keep freshening it.

[@BlindSquirrel425]

The perfection of nature, so consistent, so exquisite. There’s no better example I know of. ❤️🦅🦅

Beautiful close-ups, Thanks for sharing these, Cali Condor!

[@Clover5419]

Truely Stunning!

[@kristinLB]

I just watched a documentary about bald eagles in Alaska, they are definitely built for snow! All animals are such a gift. I feed the turkeys, hummingbirds and other birds in the hills where I live. I just sit on my front porch and watch them all in the spring. There are so many and I love when the mama turkeys come and show me their babies.

[@dewbow134]

Sooo beautiful! Especially with the sun shining on the waterdrops on her feathers. Stunning. ❤

[@olliemoss2298]

I have always loved birds of prey but now I love them even more than ever. ❤

[@thearb2003]

A very determined and dedicated woman she is

[@hherroyal05]

Jackie... married to her 2nd husband, loved and lost many babies (chicks), stoic mama who will protect her babies with no food in the blizzard for 62 hours straight... a true heroine ❤ Loves & eats her fresh feesh delivery with gusto! A full-figured gal who owns it 💞

[@anncasey5903]

They both are inside and out!🥰

[@elainemcglone672]

Stunning 😍🦅thank you for sharing such beauty 💘💞

[@karenmetzger354]

Astoundingly so!

i love the camera close ups/ zoom ins on their face

[@theck672]

👑🦅❤

[@DebbyMorris14]

I love every “ detail” of their whole body! Their eyelashes show up when a close up is on them! I’m sure it’s not bothering J.& S., but I will be happy for them to have the nicer weather, & get past the snow. Bless their hearts , they are “ warriors” for sure! Thank you to who it concerns, giving us these outstanding close up shots of them! They are two GORGEOUS BALD EAGLES! You know the saying… “ a penny for your thoughts”? I’d sure love knowing “ their” thoughts. Lol. Love & prayers Jackie & Shadow!! ❤️🙏

❤❤❤

[@miditrax]

Fiercely Proud, Beautiful in her Determination - woe befall the 🐟that feels the steely points of her talons and beak!

[@erikap2113]

She is so beautiful and smart. And Shadow too. I wish they would have more eaglets because they have such great eagle genes.

[@cassiecass95]

When people find out I watch these love birds they ask how can I just stare at birds doing nothing but they are so beautiful to me I can't stop looking even if there's no action lol😇🤎

[@traceywildwest]

I am so grateful for the view of their beautiful lives!

[@Timbergal]

Bless her

[@bettyhanks4438]

There beautiful birds. I wish that the eggs would of hatch. There so devoted to each other and the eggs.❤

[@dawnmanley6406]

Beautiful ❤

[@juliadoty3300]

Yes, she is so beautiful and shadow is so handsome. Thank you Cali and FOBBV for bringing us all the great footage and letting us see these magnificent wonderful birds!

[@Youtuber-o]

What an incredible animal. just beautiful.

[@TheEmaile]

So so gorgeous. These recent zooms have been magnificent! I’ve been wondering lately if nesting (before eggs hatch) takes a lot of energy for eagles… if it’s taxing to them.

[@corvettenut1502]

Yes She Is. SHADOW, you lucky eagle you....😂

[@CoExist64]

This comment made me smile. Cute

[@mirnas69]

So beautiful ❤😊

[@barbarakrall4331]

I thought I recognized that steely gaze from somewhere long long ago . . . Jackie's eyes reminds me of my high school English teacher Mrs Gates!

[@Deb_C]

❤❤

[@crystalg.7668]

Beautyness ❤💫🌙

[@parakeet8157]

Stunning, hearty survivor.

[@disieg1160]

I'm enamored with Jackie and all she represents! Plus, those beautiful, what looks like, "eyelashes."

[@Aggie-zs1qi]

This is such a gift for me. Watching these two, very dedicated eagles has been a joy. I try and peek in at least 3 if not more times a day and I am introducing them to my grandsons as they begin to understand more about nature. Thank you for allowing us to share in this opportunity. It truly is so special. 🦅❤

[@_LOS_ANGELES]

I hope the next maintenance, if the FOBBV can get approval from the government, requests adding artificial Branches & Leaves as a Roof for Jackie, so in next season, at least we see Jackie and her eggs will not be buried under the snow or lesser getting wet from the rain, and have a better chance of having the eggs to hatch. This will be a great way to have more donations from the supporters of Eagles.

[@llb380]

She is indeed beautiful. She doesn’t deserve the heartache of eggs that won’t hatch.Shadow does all he can to share in everything so selflessly. It’s hard not to inject human emotion into observation of these two. We can only guess, and that is hard not to do.

[@baronepam]

Jackie is all Eagle, in great condition

[@allonaread3037]

I think they're beautiful.I feel so bad that they didn't have a Egg hatch, I wish someone would give them a baby. There's plenty to go around. I know that's awesome but I can't stand it. This is their second time and she just won't give up. And neither will he. It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But we keep watching hoping that bill stop sitting on the nest and give up, but they don't do it. God love. Them

[@nomado3650]

She has white eyelashes!! 💄🪞💕

[@user-ri4ee5pn4i]

Probably hungry, laying in a wet bed, surrounded by a bank of snow, while being bombarded by dripping rain while watching for potential predators, all in an effort to protect her offspring. That's determination that only God can instill.

[@CoExist64]

Amen.

[@janetannerevans2320]

fabulous photography.

[@schen5425]

Exquisite ❤

[@honusmom5144]

Jackie, Queen of the Snow.

[@nanettes2747]

Gorgeous Jackie and most handsome Shadow! I love you both ❤️🦅❤️🦅

[@ramadasa77]

Thank you again!

[@jacquicoder7160]

She is beautiful, the Lady of the Lake, and we just marvel at her as well.

[@colleendaley4980]

I am a fan of these two and as I watch them late at night doing the switch around I couldn’t help but wonder about eyesight late at night or hunting for 🐟 fish?Thank you FOBBE

[@CoExist64]

It’s not very good, but they can see. They don’t hunt or fish at night, but their two trees are close enough to travel to and from at night.

[@informaticsnursebev1538]

😍

[@isabelbarroso3381]

Jackie is a beautiful eagle and Shadow is dedicated to her and the nest. What saddens me is that they are putting all that energy and effort on three eggs that are not going to hatch.

[@Candleflower42]

She is a beauty. I hope one doesn’t leave after 2 seasons of no eggs. Heard a biologist or some such say sometimes Eagles will leave the pairing after 2 to 3 seasons if no eggs, to go find another mate. I wonder if that’s what Shadow was doing when he ran off Jackie’s former mate?

[@deecolston3862]

Jackie, Thunder, Shadow, Aketa -- help me out - How do I tell them apart besides the nesting site ??? . . . Dee

[@CoExist64]

Here we have Jackie and Shadow. Jackie is larger with a flatter head (top), easier to tell when they’re together unless you’ve been watching for awhile.

[@CoExist64]

Jackie is on the nest now…

[@DribWatching]

With tiny ice frozen to the tip of her beak. "It ain't no thing" she thinks to herself.... Love this nest and you!❤️🦅❤️

[@DigitalPixel_AnimalLover]

Jackie is a stunner!!! I love these closeup pans, too. Question though, is Jackie’s beak okay? It looks a bit rough? Do you think it’s just food because it’s harder to be feaking when everything is covered in snow? I noticed this yesterday, but in days prior, I have closeups of Jackie and her beak is virtually unmarred.

[@candkchas]

I've wondered too. I've wondered if it is ice. Truly hope she's okay. We'll have to keep watching as weather warms up to see if it melts away and her beak is okay or if it still looks roughed up.

[@quiltergirl]

How do you tell them apart? They are both stunning

[@CoExist64]

Jackie is larger. If you check out the info on FOBBV’s page it will give you more details. I believe her head is flatter at the top than Shadow’s, but again all of this info is readily available on FOBBV’s page and channel. Have a good one

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

She is Very Beautiful, And Shadow is so Handsome! They deserved to Have Fuzzies this year 😢 Ecspecially since Jackie laid a 3rd egg this year. Not Meant to Be Sadly. I know they say they don't have Emotions like Humans, But you Cant Make me Believe that they won't feel something since their eggs didn't hatch 😢

[@nancyherrmann2491]

When will they realize that the eggs are not going to hatch😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@lauraautry6992]

They both are beautiful eagles ❤😊🦅🦅

[@kathrynnard8059]

Was that spirit circling the nest yesterday?

[@AngieSalinas-dy6bj]

[@renedoran8605]

She is georgeous

[@MarcDufresneosorusrex]

that beak

[@jangloss6837]

My beautiful little friends….awesome relaxing to the human body ❤

[@carmenxajay8772]

In learning to love and respect these beautiful eagles, and nature overall, I have grown to accept me as part of nature as part of the here and now, part of the cycle. We’re only a link; enjoy the ride. Thank you beautiful Jackie and Steadfast Shadow ❤

We are visiting Big Bear Valley, it is so beautiful ❤️. I never knew there were so many attractions here. We went to Dana Park but it's hard to identify the tree that J&S are in with our binoculars. We will try again tomorrow.
