The End Is Here- One Egg Gone, Eagles Jackie & Shadow Heartbroken in Big Bear April 11, 2024

🦅 🫶 🦅
One eggshell lost its structural integrity and broke by 7:52. By 11:40 the egg crumbled further and disappeared from view. It likely remains in the bowl.
We cannot say with certainty whether J stepped on the egg at 7:13 and breached it. She stopped incubating several days ago, and she could be moving less carefully around the eggs. It is unclear if there was any development inside. We will watch to see whether more information presents itself.
In a surprise turn of events, J showed up after dark at 19:48 & vigorously aerated the nest bowl, effectively hiding the two eggs from the camera view. They remain in the bowl & may reappear later.

📌 Jackie & Shadow tend to stay in BB year-round. They hang out a lot after first being away, then do cool eagle stuff on cam 2. We often see them on perch trees and roost trees, and they sometimes even visit the nest. Jackie and Shadow stay in the general area, somewhere near the lake, year-round. Where are the eagles when not on the nest? bit.ly/4alBilp
📌J&S have several favorite roost trees nearby. One of them is called The Roost Tree (RT) bit.ly/3F7Xh1l
📌 Visits will become more frequent in the fall when nestorations begin. Jackie & Shadow Activity Log - Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest FOBBV bit.ly/3LPCd1Z
📌 If a mate disappears for some reason, the other eagle will take a new mate. Bald Eagles form long term pair bonds and tend to stay together year after year. Learn more about the bonding process bit.ly/48YPsbY
📌 Bald Eagles can live as long as 30 years. Jackie is a very young eagle. She has many years of egg laying ahead of her. Hens can lay their entire lifetime if they are healthy.
📌 Jackie is about 12 years old in Spring of 2024. She took over the Big Bear nesting territory in the fall of 2016. Fledglings: 2018 Stormy JR1 w/Mr.B; 2019 Simba ZR1, 2022 Spirit w/ Shadow.
.
📌 Shadow is about 10 years old in Spring of 2024. He took over the Big Bear nesting territory in the summer of 2018. Fledglings: 2019 Simba ZR1, 2022 Spirit w/ Jackie.
📌 Spirit is Jackie’s only living offspring. There is no way to ID Spirit at this point. She
fledged on 5/31/22 and was last seen in the area 6/24/22. bit.ly/3KAdL3B

📌 Nesting seasons are driven by the amount of light (photoperiod). Eagles in Southern latitudes lay eggs earlier than in the North. Jackie's egg-laying season is Jan-Mar bit.ly/4cofveK
📌 Jackie & Shadow utilize their favorite Sentry Trees (some are snags) visible from Cam2: CS=Cactus Snag, SDS=Stick Depot Snag, LS=Lookout Snag, TP=Twin Pines, HOP=Hide Out Pine bit.ly/3F7Xh1l

🦅This is a live bald eagle's nest. The nest is extremely difficult to access: no road, rugged terrain, 145-foot-tall tree with the nest near the top, especially in the winter, with snow as another barrier. The nest is built 145ft up in a Jeffrey Pine tree ~7100ft ASL, one of the highest elevation Bald Eagle nests in the US! It is measured ~5 1/2’ wide and 6’ deep bit.ly/3PoSmP6
🦅The nest is illuminated by IR (infrared) light at night. The light is not visible to the eagles/humans, it is only visible to the cameras. Why the eagles cannot see it bit.ly/3klors9

Per the administrator’s One eggshell lost its structural integrity and broke by 7:52. By 11:40 the egg crumbled further and disappeared from view. It likely remains in the bowl. We cannot say with certainty whether J stepped on the egg at 7:13 and breached it. She stopped incubating several days ago, and she could be moving less carefully around the eggs. It is unclear if there was any development inside. We will watch to see whether more information presents itself.
