One thing is that they have very long nesting season and one of the earliest laying times. Another thing is that they lay eggs according to the photoperiod (daylight length). It just so happens that the photoperiod in Big Bear, at the elevation of 7,000 ft, is about the same as in Baja California. January would be the perfect time to lay in Baja, but the mountain climate could be very challenging.
@@CaliCondor Thank you for the explanation!! I just remember last winter when Jackie sat on their eggs during an awful snow storm for what I believe was 72+ hours, never moving! And my heart just hurt for her! Once again, thank you for the quick response and for this amazing channel where we can get such a personal look into the lives of dear Jackie & Shadow. 💕
@@cyndipalmer8061 Vultures do the same thing. It's a carnivore thing, I think, bc ants and flies are really bad in warmer weather and their smelly meals would make the nests unbearable in warm weather like the songbirds have. The snow is kind of their element. In Alaska they are a very common, beautiful sight.
I truly believe when a precious life passes another is born. My heart is so broken for the Swfl nest and the tragic loss of life. I'm so incredibly happy for Jackie and Shadow...I'll be praying extra hard for a successful incubation and hatching for our royal pair here...Lord knows my fellow eagle lovers and families will truly need this more than ever now ❤
Yes losing those 2 babies broke my heart. Now scary if 23 and M will be ok, 23 acting sick now too. Bless Jackie and a Shadow and pray for a successful hatch. We love the eagles ❤
What a beautiful thought. We are grieving precious E24 & E25 and for the loss to M15 & F23. This indeed gives us joy, while bearing our grief for the SWFL Eagle family. Congratulations Jackie and Shadow! Thank you for allowing us a window to your blessings. 🙏🏻🩷🦅
Godspeed Jackie, Shadow and babies to be hatched. 🐣 We will support them all in our prayers. Blessings to the experts at Big Bear, Callie & team members. 😂🌟🙏
I was just thinking the same thing...this is the beautiful life gift we see being begun...where the tragic sadness unfolded to F23 and M15 in florida . I am so tore up over those babies for the parents...this is so sad...I hope they can find what the cause was---.looking over what was eaten,,it could have been roundworms(raccoon) , there was a bird they ate someone said bird flu..and than of course if they eat rodents the rodenticide...it helps me be not so sad if I start thinking scientifically....the empty nest is just getting me in the heart and gut at the same time...poor m15 and his lady f23 .
Oh Jackie, gave us some hope after what happened on the East Coast with the Florida eagles family. I sincerely, hope all 3 hatch! This would be a tremendous blessing from California's Big Bear Valley Eagles!!!!
The situation in SWFL is so heartbreaking. I woke up early yesterday morning to see E25 had passed too. So sad. Then in the evening, Jackie’s 3rd egg. A sign of hope.
I am so happy for Jackie and Shadow, 3 eggs. Cali, thank you for sharing this clip of a beautiful moment. Thank you FOBBV, Mods, Cam Opps and of course Jackie and Shadow. ❤🦅🦅❤
WOW! I didn't expect this. With tears still flowing from SWFL Eaglets, I am extremely excited and happy for this beautiful pair. This adorable couple is so full of love and emotion. ❤
From all the heartache and pain I’ve felt this brings so much joy I absolutely love and adore every single breath and every sound these precious treasures make thank goodness something magical is happening today ❤❤❤❤❤
Super excited about the 3rd egg! Pray that God will allow the babies to hatch and grow strong. Shadow was his amazing self-doting on Jackie during labor.💝 Queen Jackie is a hero in every sense of the word!🙏💕👏😘
May your 3 precious eggs hatch and thrive, Jackie. Love that she wanted to see Shadow before going into labor, just adorable 🥰. We are so proud of you two! 🖤🤍🥳
Saw this one live and had it in the background ever since she started hollering for Shadow tonight. Ty for fast clips so I can spread the news to my non birdwatching friends easier by just sharing the 8 minute video
I drove today to Peoria, AZ and had Jackie on my screen driving through the desert and I knew she was going to lay anytime soon, she had her feathers up, and her scrunched eyes! 🤦♀️🥰🥰Yeah to Jackie & Shadow ❣️✨This has put a smile on my heart considering what has taken place this week🥲🫶🏻🫶🏻✨🦅Congratulations J& S 🫶🏻❣️✨🦅✨🦅
She was squeeking to him that she was in labor, I swear. Shadow then knew that the only thing he could do was give her all the room she needed. Loved seeing this last evening. Hope she had a restful night.
I really hope that all three are viable this season. Poor Jackie, she really takes such good care of the eggs and Shadow knows how much she goes through; he's right there with her. Love these two. (from Sandi)
Thanks again for these highlights. The 72-hour (approx.) - 3-days between eggs - has proven to be a pretty 'regular' thing. They thrive in these conditions that look so unbearable to most. It's quite a sight; and truly a nest with grand view of BBL.
This is so very special. Amazing that we can witness and travel along on this journey together! Something so positive to hold our hopes. TY FOBBV! Wish I could admire this precious scene 24/7! Holding my breath and counting down the days 🙏🏼🤙🏼❤️
Congratulations 🎉 🥚🥚🥚💞🦅🦅🎉 Sweet Jackie you have put a big smile on my face, a much needed one after the loss of the sweet E's. Bless you Jackie & Shadow and then there where 3 💞🙏😊
@@Sheila-A-8 Thank you for a heartfelt statement. I'm praying for the parent Eagles in Florida and for J and S with healthy hatchlings in 35 days!! We all need this so badly. I'm praying so hard! 🙏🙏🐣🐣🐣🙏🐣🐣❤️
We check in each morning and afternoon with my Before/Afterschool Care Program. The kids are so excited and there are so many teachable moments watching Jackie and Shadow.
How exciting for Jackie and Shadow! Love Jackie’s sweet talk to Shadow, that she does in her special, quiet way only to him. ❤❤❤ Praying these babies make it!
Big Surprise. Jackie told Shadow a few days ago in a two way Nest/Simba limb Chat( with about 10K viewers listening in) that # 2 was on the way. But it was all in Eagle Lingo which none of us Speak. Tonite, even S did not know ,as he left early tor his fav. Night Perch. Thanks Cali, as you were one of the most insistent on what was happening(as J went thru the Egg happening now manual)--although many Chatters helped out with their Micro Pickups of J's moment by moment posture changes. From someone that thought all Jackie wanted was a" FEEESH from the lake' by constant calling to S--total ignorance, but happy along with 11K+ Viewers and Chat People for what actually happened. A Happy Eagle Pair tonight and many fans over the Globe are happy as well.
WHOO! HOO!! Congrats to Jackie and Shadow in the laying of their third 🥚🥳🦅🦅. I’m so very happy for them and I got it from another chat and I had to rush over to their channel to see Jackie sound asleep and chat was going crazy!😁 I am praying for success for this loving couple cause they surl do deserve success and happiness too cause Thwy are awesome parents. Thanks again Cali Condor and God bless you and have a good night. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida 🙏🦅🦅🥚🥚🥚❤️🥳🤞🏼❌⭕️
Yes, it's exciting to have 3 eggs, but it is typical for there to be only one to survive to fledging, occasionally two. Three would be truly rare. Let's just be grateful for any that can make it. ❤
Blessings to Shadow and Jackie. Finally some good news after SWFL and the eaglet babies. Overjoyed by seeing 3 wonderful eggs. Sending positive thoughts to these eagle couple ❤🙏❤
Woww 🤩 Tres 🥚🥚🥚 👏 Se que esta temporada será 💯 positiva para este nido 👏🤩 Tres bebes que pronto abrirán 🐣🐣🐣 porque se lo merecen ! Este nido y el de Florida son los 2 que veo Hoy fue un dia muy triste 😞 pero aqui viene la recompensa! Muy buen augurio para estos bellos Jacky & Shadow 👏 💞
May I ask what might sound like a dumb question - why do these beautiful birds lay eggs in the harshest time of year and not the Spring?
One thing is that they have very long nesting season and one of the earliest laying times. Another thing is that they lay eggs according to the photoperiod (daylight length). It just so happens that the photoperiod in Big Bear, at the elevation of 7,000 ft, is about the same as in Baja California. January would be the perfect time to lay in Baja, but the mountain climate could be very challenging.

Great question 😊
They have no temperature control, they do not feel hot or cold. It could be Alaska at -40 everything is fine.
I hope we have 3 eaglets and they all thrive
Amen!
I agree wholeheartedly!
in golf is that good or bad eagle - birdie ?

Congratulations Jackie and Shadow egg number 3
Oh Jackie, gave us some hope after what happened on the East Coast with the Florida eagles family. I sincerely, hope all 3 hatch! This would be a tremendous blessing from California's Big Bear Valley Eagles!!!!
Oh no, what happened? Were these SW FL eagles or somewhere else?
It was the SWFL nest. We lost both E24 & E25. We’re waiting for the necropsy results. 😢
The situation in SWFL is so heartbreaking. I woke up early yesterday morning to see E25 had passed too. So sad.
Then in the evening, Jackie’s 3rd egg. A sign of hope.
@@S-CCCCF23 was getting sick as well, keeping her in my thoughts as well❤ So happy for Jackie & Shadow!
Praying for All 3 baby eaglets to say ‘hello world’ !
❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
It's amazing how caring shadow is while Jackie is in labor. If he could, I'm sure he would rub her back😊.
As she fusses "YOU did this to me!! And I’m here doing all the work!" 🤭
@SimplyLolly 🤣😂🤣
I am praying for this magnificent couple that has captured so many hearts around the country maybe the world.
I am so happy for Jackie and Shadow, 3 eggs. Cali, thank you for sharing this clip of a beautiful moment. Thank you FOBBV, Mods, Cam Opps and of course Jackie and Shadow. ❤🦅🦅❤
That was such a sweet visit and it calmed her right down. I just love these two. ❤ And then there were three…🥰
Wasn’t that just amazing!! The mighty tea kettle has spoken! Thankful for a happy moment now after so much sadness.
Woo Hoo! Yaaaay!!!! Cant wait till Shadow sees! This is Their Year! Praying for Cute Little Fuzzy Jackies and Shadows!

Wow! To witness this beautiful event! Thank you FOBBV & Cali! So appreciate this!
Amazing that just a few hours earlier, she had Shadow tend the nest while she chased ravens. She sure is the queen of the valley😊
What was that repeating sound? Shadow? Another bird? Wonderful to watch this, thx so much FOBBV!
The moderators on the channel said that it was some kind of owl.
I was wondering the same thing and was guessing an owl because of the time of day. Thanks for asking!
Sweet Shadow was concerned about his dear Jackie, just love these two ❤️ Congratulations, what a beautiful moment.
Congratulations, Jackie and Shadow! Prayers for you all! Wow..3 eggs!
I really hope that all three are viable this season. Poor Jackie, she really takes such good care of the eggs and Shadow knows how much she goes through; he's right there with her. Love these two. (from Sandi)
Just can't say enough of what a good partner shadow is! He takes good care of his girl/ girl's 🦅🦅🦅
I think at least one we will see growing and flying this year 🥰🙏
