FOBBV🦅Teakettle Time❗️Jackie Lays EGG1 In Snowy Nest🥚❤️️Shadow Waits On Stick Depot Snag🌲2023-01-11

Congratulations, Jackie and Shadow!❤️️
Egg1 was laid 1/11 at 15:58, first visible signs of labor were seen at 15:52.
As usual, Jackie's labor was quick, accentuated with soft teakettle sounds.
Jackie picked the perfect day to lay her first egg - nice, warm and sunny. The next storm will arrive to Big Bear on 1/14.
The egg is a bit damp and has a small blood stain on it, which is not uncommon. Additionally, the bowl is quite wet with a thin layer of snow just below the freshly delivered fluff. The egg will likely pick up more stains over time.
Resident male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
Resident female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012

So exciting and educational to watch! So grateful to Cali for this opportunity ..Congratulations to the best eagle couple Jackie and Shadow! 🦅❤🦅

[@s.h.8575]

Oh....Jackie, Du bist wundervoll! 🥰🦅🥚🎉🎊❤️

[@dianahendricks7325]

Wow that was my first time to see a bird in contractions and giving birth to an egg. Every time she had a contraction I think I had one too that was exhausting. I’m so happy congratulations to shadow and Jackie and to all of us who are Always watching and praying for them. Thank you for the education🙏🏻🎉🥵🥚🦅🦅🙏🏻😘❣️

[@brandipollard3311]

Glad I wasn't the only one. I caught myself not breathing a few times. 🤣🤣🦅💙❤❤💙🦅

[@kimstokes4168]

God bless her. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing things they accomplish this season. Jackie and Shadow are wonderful parents and the love between them is so beautiful! Congratulations! They bring so much peace and love to so many of us.

[@michaelhalahan]

A Great start to another successful Nest Yr. for our Eagle Pair. For Me, 1 Egg/successful Hatch is Always enough. It's not a Question of Numbers, but of being able to do Nest Yr Activities.Everyone Participates, and everyone is Happy--Viewers, Chatters, Big Eagles, and Small Eagles. Thanks Cali for Posting ! We certainly can hear the 'Tea Kettle' sounds from Jackie.

[@0217ldp]

OMG, I could feel her pain every time she made a noise, and she sat with her feathers puffed up. But the pain is just a memory after the birth of an egg. Congratulations to Jackie and Shadow.

[@brandipollard3311]

Tyvm Cali for this amazing video as always! I had no clue that they actually go through all the steps of birth. It was truly remarkable watching this! I caught myself not breathing a few times. I'm so flippin excited! 🦅💙❤️❤️💙🦅

[@mariaparra8025]

Congratulations gorgeous Jackie 🥚🙏🌹🦅❤️🦅❤️🦅

[@lynnreed8233]

Thank you for posting this. It will be shown to my students today! :). They'll be so excited.

[@sandyw.6531]

What a miracle to watch! Great job Jackie💕. Looking forward to watching this new season!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Congratulations Jackie and Shadow! We will be waiting and watching with you during this eggciting time. Thanks for getting this momentous event out to us so quickly, Cali.

[@mariaparra8025]

❄️❄️❄️🥚❤️🙏🌹🍀good job precious Jackie 🌹🙏🦅🍀❤️

[@dreamcatcher5502]

She waited for the storm to pass to start another family of eggs. Never knew there was a special sound for laying eggs. I guess that is to signal Shadow so he knows it's time. I hope she wasn't in pain. So beautiful. We are so lucky to witness this miracle 🥰

[@michaelhalahan]

I share your Sentiment, Dream Catcher. Jackie is certainly more in touch with Nature than people putting up Stats on a Computer Screen. She Did Wait---and fortunately was able to. Many got the best opportunity to Share firsthand her and Shadow's Great Achievement.

[@cowboykelly6590]

I gotta play jim Reeves.. Welcome to my world . 💝😪 what a gift. I've got happy tears by the heart . 🦅🦅🐣🖖

[@bakokat6982]

Cali Conder your camera work was amazing! Thank you all who man the camera for such a great job capturing this birth.. Outstanding , what rare treat for all who are watching. What a wonderful bird Jackie is, and Shadow is the best mate for her. ❤

[@juanida1955]

You could notice her feathers changing & her labor breathing. Aww her teapot whistling vocals. TY Cali for this beautiful vid post. ❤️

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

❤💞❤ We KNEW it was time !!! ❤💞❤ I'm sure it's like chic or other bird eggs. They come out soft shell and have to harden up. It looks like it's been there awhile.

[@debrapeasley2606]

Good for you, Jackie! Blessings to you, Shadow and your precious egg.

[@conchitapaz3938]

This is a historic moment❤️🙏 God bless this lovely birds that represent freedom 😊

[@courtneycarter4493]

Great happiness at 415 a.m today to see the egg with mama❤ thank you cali all I could do is hold my upper lip and hold my breath ☺our dear sweet girl . FOBBV thank you🌲

[@divinedragon88]

After 3:55 Jackie starts to teakettle for those who're wondering.

[@jillkltr]

I tried to find it, but couldn't. Would you let me know why she is making this sound?

[@Supgangy]

@@jillkltr she’s in labor that’s why and serious pain when laying eggs

[@jillkltr]

@@Supgangy thank you

[@fermageehamilton1402]

[@sherryfuzesy9030]

The egg looks beautifully formed!

[@gymgym3059]

Oooh bless her ❤️🦅 she is pushing that egg out just like a woman in labor, the contractions with the screams and all!!❤️🦅❤️🦅

[@LindyLooo99]

YEAH!!!! I'm so happy!! The look on her face when she saw the egg! amazing!

[@dianahopson8833]

What a brave and magnificent bird. Watching her strain as she delivered her egg wa breathtaking , and to see her as she tucks the egg beneath her. The whole episode was and exercise in joy. Now comes the waiting.

[@schen5425]

🦜All the best, congrats 👏 FOBBV. Cali Condor 🥰 and MOD's

[@cindythomas5895]

I so again this year want to climb up there myself with a ton of fluff and make the nest not just sticks … especially with another storm on the way, they so need a bunch of fluff before that next storm hits 😢…. Praying for Jackie, Shadow and the sweet Egg 🦅🦅🥚❤️❤️❤️

[@dewbow134]

Was stepping away for a little, started watching minutes before she started pushing, so exiting to see her puffed up😍💕 Sounds exhausting with the noises they make and heavy breathing, beak opening 🥚

[@SandyToesStudio]

Eggbert has arrived!!!!!! Exciting times in BBV and across the world, yipppppeeeee!!!!

[@natoya85]

Wow congratulations Jackie 🎊 👏 💪🪺🐣

[@stephaniefisher6226]

How incredible is this? I have so many questions! They have mated so often in recent weeks! How long did it take for that egg to be fertilized and the how long does she carry it before 'Tea Time'. Does she already have another egg forming now? How long does it 'percolate' before it's Tea Time? Facinating!

[@iladavis1694]

Jackie had that look in her eyes when she was on the nest during that terrible storm and she took off. You rock Jackie ✨🙌

[@MrPatches604]

Sounds a bit anthropomorphic to me!

[@silvermainecoons3269]

@@MrPatches604 Get used to it. 😊 The Bald Eagle nest watching community is very passionate but not so much into the scientific research side of things. It’s easy to do when you watch the same eagle families year after year, makes it difficult to be detached.

[@cg00000]

Oh my goodness ....So happy! Way to go kiddo's!!!! Congrats!!🥰😍🥰

[@sandragauder277]

So exciting and pray it's a good egg ❗🤗😘🙏....hoping another one will come ....such good parents❗🦅🦅

Congrats Jackie we have an egg

[@nancyleigh8016]

🥰 Poor girl sounded like a tea kettle! I felt all of that myself. "Ghost cramps" It's amazing how involved we get with these eagles. At least for me, lol. This is exciting news, and thanks to you, Cali, we got to witness all of it! Thank you!!

[@jilleynwesley]

I was working and had Jackie on all day! I have to keep the volume down because of work and went to throw a piece of paper away and heard that tea kettle sound! I kept watching in between customers and was so excited! Glad I didn't miss it!

[@silvermainecoons3269]

Is it common for female eagles to make that whistling noise during labor? Jackie is the only one I have heard do this. I made similar noises, but also some 4 letter “sounds” when giving birth to my son, so I can relate. These 2 are my favorite BE couple. ❤😊🦅🦅
