- Bald Eagles are well equipped to live in cold climates. The species is the most populous in Alaska
Spirit is 49 days old and has developed a lot of upper contour feathers that allowed him/her to stay dry. The thick thermal down allows him/her to thermoregulate and stay warm even in sub-freezing temperatures.
Nevertheless, Jackie being the super Mom she is, protected Spirit overnight, covering him/her from the elements.😊
Preening gland (uropygial gland) is located at the base of the tail, on the lower back, just in front of the tail feathers. It secretes a thick, transparent, complex oil (preening oil) consisting primarily of diester waxes (uropygiols), fats and fatty acids. It performs many functions in the bird including water proofing, and keeping the skin, feathers and beak supple; the oil is said by some to have an antibacterial function. During preening, an eagle transfers this oil to its feathers by rubbing its head and beak against the oil gland and then spreading the oil over the feathers on the rest of the body.
Spirit hatched 3/3 16:14
The remaining unhatched egg may break due to activity in the nest become part of it eventually

Jackie really is a super Mom! She did an awesome job providing as much shelter and warmth as possible. It was so sweet seeing her lay her head on Spirit’s back ❤️🦅
I didn't think there was anything more touching than watching Shadow with Spirit, but when Jackie laid her head on Spirit's back, my heart melted. She is so fierce and protective. And wonderful.
What a true Mama. Jackie is an amazing Mom trying to protect Spirit from the weather.
Jackie desperately trying to continue sleeping, despite Jr’s shenanigans; every mom can relate!
Exactly. 😂
I think she is actually trying to keep him calm while their home almost blows away.....no state farm here.
@@OndriaDancingStar of course.. that’s obvious…😏
Jackie sheltering her baby is so sweet
Thank you Cali
Spirit be like “ momma what is happening “... Bless their hearts !!! Those wind gust are scary 😳What a remarkable momma ❤️🦅🥰❤️🦅🥰
Spirit says they need to build a roof or next floor.
Spirit is such a cute baby bird, Jackie is an amazing mommy.
What a wonderful mother ! Happy Belated mother's Day Jackie 2024
От этого видео веет арктическим морозом, мама и детеныш 🙏
Bless Jackie’s heart. As big as Spirit is, all she wanted to do was protect Spirit. She did amazing and so did Spirit! I am so happy Shadow & Jackie have beautiful Spirit to raise! Thank you for the sweet video!
Spirit was so uncomfortable and poor Jackie was trying so hard to provide shelter. It wasn't easy, especially when Spirit spread those wings in her face. But the moment she laid her head on his back, oh my, that was so sweet. Spirit tasting the snow at dawn was so cute. It was like he/she had never seen snow before but we know that isn't true. Perhaps he/she is now of an age to really recognize it. Thanks for a wonderful video, Cali, that was quite a night.
Jackies sheltering was incredible. Couple of gusts was the most I’ve ever seen that nest move.
Spirit is such a brave Eaglet 🦅💕 wingers in those gusts Wowzer!! Good job Jackie giving shelter 💕🦅 TY for capturing Cali Condor!!
Thank you much Cali ! ☀️💕😊Jackie is such a super mom sheltering her baby Spirit through the storm ⛈ Beautiful to watch ♥️🦅♥️🦅♥️🦅
The strong wind and sound really made my heart jump. Such harsh conditions for these beautiful birds to have to endure.
So sweet. Mom keeping the baby warm.
What a mom!!!❤❤❤
A Mother's Love and Protection....Jackie is amazing. Spirit will be a superb mother someday after the all life lessons she was taught by Jackie and Super Dad Eagle Shadow. None better....the Royal Legacy will continue with our Strong Spirit. 💕🦅💕🦅💕🦅💕Thank you Cali for this sweet memory💝
Yes she will a few more years we can dream of her babies !😅
@@dolliemaesone ❤
❤️Every parent can relate, no it is not play time come lay down here. Thank you for this clip❤️
Remarkable job done Jackie protecting your precious cargo!! Spirit was like what is going on and very restless tonight. Thank you Cali Condor 🥰
Supermom Jackie! She is just amazing!! Spirit did so well with Jackie's protection. When she lays her head and beak over Spirit to protect her/him is just heart wrenching! At daybreak (6:00) Jackie looks exhausted and some of her breast feathers look ragged from the ordeal. So glad I didn't see this live! I would have been too nervous to sleep all night! That wind and hail was vicious! Jackie and Shadow know what they're doing when they pick a tree and build a nest! Watching these eagles is so amazing, such a privilege. Thank you Cali Condor for all these windows into the private lives of these amazing birds of prey!!🦅🦅🐦
Jackie is an amazing mother to Spirit!
Jackie at her best!
Jackie is pretty dang patient. I would love to hear the thoughts going through her head.
bless their beautiful hearts 🥰
What a nasty storm I was afraid Spirit would get blown away with the winds
Me too I get so nervous everytime Spirit go near the edge and poo.
So sweet! Such warmth can also be found in nature.🐥🥰
Jackie is the best momma! That wind was brutal
Once Jackie finished digging around a little space in the center of the nest she said, "Spirit! Get in here!" And, he scooted on in. So, now Jackie's resume reads ... wife, mother and garage. 😉
OMG, Poor Jackie and Spirit🥰😫😢
Be safe our love Eagle family,wondering where's shadow in this time of weather.thank you Calicondor
Shadow is no doubt at his night roost nearby keeping watch over his family. Hope he has a better wind break.
Jackie be”sit down and behave yourself!”
I LOVE how Spirit turns his head and looks at her with a squeee as to say "we made it Mom!" 🥰❤🙈 27:22
What a Good mom, that is so sweet 🥹 Mom looks so tired in the end. Looks like she’s going to fall down face first. She looks like she’s thinking during the whole time, ok wiggle worm please go to sleep 😴
What nice and productive parent
Thanks Cali for a heart-stopper , cliffhanger, action movie!
Thank you for the video with this special moment, Cali.💕 Jackie is a wonderful mom. As beautiful as she protects Spirit from the storm.🤗 It never ceases to amaze how caring these wild majestic birds are.🦅
Nothing greater than a mother's love! Great job Jackie :) Cool video Cali Condor, thanks!
I think Jackie wants to tell junior this is NOT the time to be stretching and flapping, you’ll blow away! Oh my goodness, so 🥰.
Jackie is a wonderful mom. Her instincts are amazing! When the wind gusts were at their worst she laid her head and neck flat on Spirit's back pressing him down closer into the nest and giving her an aerodynamic shape to help keep her pushed down with him. Her wings were getting lift from the wind and she left them up slightly to let the wind go over and through to keep from getting blown from the nest. I believe Spirit may have been blown from the nest in the high gusts...the whole tree was swaying and the wind and rain were coming in sideways. Super Mom Jackie kept sweet Spirit safe.
Jackie is special. Spirit 💜
Horrible storm, had to learn to hunker down and ride it out. Amazing they didn’t blow out, amazing video.
So great is a mothers love.
I think Jackie was trying to keep Spirit from flying off the nest...placing her head down his back, pushing down slightly when the wind got stronger. Super Super MomEagle! 🦸♀️ 🏆 poor mama and spirit what a long night.
Cali Condor Spirit was so independent, but so
Dependant! 😂

23:15 Spirit eating snow, Juckie’s face -what are you doing, kiddo??
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL LOVE THIS FAMILY..I WATCH EVER SINGLE NIGHT 🌙 😀. SUCH A WONDER..
Makes me want to develop a brood patch.
What an amazing video and window into their world! First face plant into the snow ❄️
Awwwww what a little toddler
Good job mommy, it's not easy. But you did a great Jackie.
This video is incredible!! One feels strongly all the love of a father for his own son. No!! We are not the only ones to love like this!! This exceptional video touches your heart.. 💞🐥🦅💓🌬️❄️😟
Such an amazing mommy eagle!!
Awwww is that Spirit's 1st storm? Poor baby. Good thing Mombrella is there to say, "I got you. It'll be okay"
Wow. Great footage of the mom protecting them both from those gale force wind gusts.

So cute 😍!
Jackie, you are definitely mother of the year😊
Que amor 💞🦅🐥💞
This snow in April at Big 🐻!!!
I thought all California state has a mild climate. I was so happy when they survived the last snow storm about a month ago. And here it is again.
Might have been sleet which is kinda midway between ice and snow. If we were to stand in it bare-armed in those high winds, it would sting.
This is Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino mountains in southern California, elevation about 6800 feet (2073 meters). It's common to see snow (and snow pellets and freezing rain) in April and May due to it's elevation. California has the most diverse climate of all 50 states. From Wikipedia- The climate of California varies widely from hot desert to alpine tundra, depending on latitude, elevation, and proximity to the coast. California's coastal regions, the Sierra Nevada foothills, and much of the Central Valley have a Mediterranean climate, with warmer, drier weather in summer and cooler, wetter weather in winter. The influence of the ocean generally moderates temperature extremes, creating warmer winters and substantially cooler summers in coastal areas.
I love Jackie so much 😍
That’s one hail of a storm. Hope they get some better weather in the coming days.
Flaps down Spirit! Snuggle in.
Awwwwww poor baby it's so cold 🥶 😭 😩
Wow! That wind is really whipping! Looks like Spirit is trying to cover Mom! Jackie is trying to get Spirit to take cover under her… Spirit isn’t sure what to do but you can tell it’s upsetting! Jackie is holding on tight!❤️🙏🏻❤️‼️
Thanks for the great clip Cali! Brutal winds that night rocking the nest - Spirit too big to be fully covered by Jackie.
28:32 - Spirit's feathers flying from the wind - afraid he/she would fall off the edge of nest.
30:52- Slight chattering begins - ready to have Mom Jackie give warmth again and both wondering where Shadow is with breakfast. :) - Stephanie
Oh mom it’s cold, I’m going to snuggle.
Holy canoli! That was horrifying for a long time! Did I also see straight line wind and sleet? Looked like sleet was building up in the nest bowl. Ouch! Jackie, You da Bomb Mom!! What a great mother!
💞 So sweet! 🐥🦅
I think Spirit is maybe nervous about the storm, his mama loves him♥️🌈
Spirit is a her
Perhaps if there were more tree, it would be easier to stay warm and sheltered. We need San Bernardino National Park. 😃
This is a video l had not seen before even though it is over a year ago. Poor Mom, seems like she had to lay her head on Spirits back to keep her balance since she is standing up to provide as much protection as she can. I always wondered why when the babies get to big to actually brood, the parent doesn’t lay next to their baby and cover them with a wing when protection is needed. @calicondor
Incredible video! Thanks for sharing it! I shared it, too!
Strong winds
Jackie is such a good momma. Wow that wind was wild. Poor things.
Will you behave spirit mom is trying to shelter you. Put those wings away!!
You can see Jackie’s wings being blown up by the wind as she lays covering Spirit. Spirit has less control over his.
Awwwwwww!
What happens if somebody install some branches above the nest ? Will the eagles think of building a second floor ? You can attach a photo of a two-story house for eagles to give them a hint
Hope the weather clears up 4 them.A Lil rain might be refreshing
4 Spirit.Mom not so much...😉💞
Is spirit a boy or girl?
LOL poor Jackie...what she endures because of a restless teenager...
🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏
We're is daddy
At what age do young eagles learn to fly?
Bald eagles in California will fledge around 12 weeks. Then over the following few months the parents will teach it to fly and hunt.
@@terised thank you. So exciting to watch Spirit growing up. 😊
And being so high up in that tree as well, no baby safety rails.
Mom? How come we don’t live in caves?
