- Spirit is expected to disperse on her Grand Journey about 4-12 weeks after fledging. She fledged 25 days ago.
Jackie and Shadow may continue to bring food to the nest for some time. If there are no takers, they will eventually stop and go about their regular business or perching, observing humans, soaring and depleting local fish supply😊
Spirit was last seen on the nest 6/23 18:25; flybys on Cam1-Cam2 6/24 9:42
🦅♀Spirit hatched 3/3 16:14, 113 days old
✈Fledged 5/31 5:49:52, at age 88 days, 12 hours 35 minutes; Returned 5/31 16:45
The unhatched egg remains in the nest, covered with fluff.
Resident male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014

Jackie looked so sad, sitting on the front porch like she was just waiting for her daughter to come home for dinner. An empty nest can be so lonely. Perhaps we haven't seen the last of Spirit. Time will tell but these moments will help us to prepare for the day when she will disperse on her grand journey. Thanks for keeping us up to date, Cali. SED
I watched this yesterday, in real time, of Jackie enjoying that fish, but also watching just in case her daughter Eaglet came squeeing in to snatch the fish for herself. Jackie did seem to be waiting and watching for Spirit. She was on the nest for nearly three hours waiting! Good mama Eagle! Thank You so much @Cali Condor for these lovely video saves of this Eagle family! ❤️🦅🦅🦅
Jackie did seem sad. Life goes on. Missed Spirit’s screeching. ☹️ Thanks Cali for all you do. You are appreciated.
Oh I do miss Spirit and her squeals. Jackie and Shadow are awesome parents! ❤️
Princess 👑 Spirit will return I don’t think she is ready for total independence. I pray she is safe and doing well. I have fallen in love with this eagle 🦅 family. Thank You Cali for sharing.
Miss Spirit, but I think she'll surprise us with another visit. Thanks Cali 🙋🏻♀️ 💜 I'm always happy to see Jackie and Shadow!
I miss her already.
I miss Spirit's loudness, may she show up again, real soon. Looks like Jackie misses her and expects her to zip in. I am also worried about her needing food. If Jackie thought that she was hurt or heard a distress call from Spirit, she'd most likely take off to help her. Let's not think nor release anything other than positive vibes into the atmosphere.
If this is dispersal, the median distance is 42 miles, with females dispersing farther. Spirit is young, strong, well taught, and with a great chance of survival! If she has dispersed, I wish her a wonderful, long, successful life, with babies that thrive.
Fly free Spirit....... forever in our hearts
Shadow probably won’t know what to do not to have his little girl there ready to be fed! Oh how I’ll miss those squeals! She is really one of a kind & so unique in her own little way! Jackie & Shadow have always done a great job with their babies! Simba & now Spirit, but before we all know it, it will be that time again! Who knows maybe she will be like most young adults & come home for the holidays at least! Lol 🤗
She's so majestic. I don't have other word to describe her entire self. A true queen.
jackie, an expert Aviator as is Shadow, comes in ' Dead Sideways " to allow for the crosswind and to slip more easily past the Front Porch branch in an easier fashion rather than " Ride up & over the FP branch.. From what i read in Chat today-- Suspecting that Spirit will be around for a few weeks yet based on how long Simba and before him, Stormy, stayed at BB Area before leaving for Good. Thanks for Posting Cail.
Thank you Cali for your wonderful videos💕. Oh how I will miss our loud 📣 sweet Spirit 🦅. But she has to go her own way. But it would be nice to see her again. I hope she finds a partner as wonderful as her dad⚘ and I think she will be a mother as good as Jackie⚘. I'm already looking forward to next season when Jackie and Shadow come back.
Thanks for this video. I couldn’t tune in yesterday. Happy soaring, Spirit, wherever your roaming may take you!
Happy soaring, indeed.
Oh my l have never seen Jackie look so sad while sitting on the front porch. That look on her face.😣
This is just lovely! I did sense some anticipation in Jackie just before she dived in to eat more of the fish. But like the rest of us, she knows her Squee will eventually leave if not already. With these beautiful videos of the eagle family, our empty nest sadness will be tempered. Thanks so much Cali x
🥲
Jackie looking around at the end of the video and perking up at the sound of a distant bird is then at the very end .. hanging her head down! . I'm' not crying lol you are .
I hope she comes back because I am already missing her. Good Luck Spirit!
Watching Jackie alone on the front porch, looking up at the sky, makes me feel so sad. I miss Spirit terribly! 😢
The only thing that concerns me is spirit has not hunted for her own food yet she has never caught anything for herself to eat that we haven’t seen and that kind of worries me that she has not caught her own food that we haven’t seen I’m sure she’ll learn but I was hoping I could’ve seen that before she left for good I hope she comes back for a little longer I miss spirit I love her be careful out there in spirit
I understand your concern. It would have been nice to see Spirit bring in something she hunted herself. But I’m not very worried for her. She has been very good at aggressively claiming what J&S bring in, and will likely be just as good at poaching from other predators.
@@lawrencetoth3251 Thank you for that yeah just would’ve liked to seen it but we only see what we can on the cameras and she’s smart and if she’s hungry I’m sure she’ll learn pretty fast and I fell in love with her thank you for your response
They know spirit is gone, otherwise the one that brought the fish in for spirit, would of never ate so quickly after bringing the fish 2 the nest. The atmosphere of both eagle was a bit of a different additude
Aww, that will be sad. Jackie seems to really enjoy her porch time with Spirit. They must eventually get a real curiosity bug that drives them to fly off and explore new places.
Not like Spirit to miss a meal today there are no videos of her eating today or squealing,she was last seen early this morning,it would be nice to see her one last time at the nest eating and squealing with Jackie or Shadow,we will know soon enough
It's going to break Shadows heart when Spirit leaves for good. 😔🦅💜
You never know when the last time it is you will see them, you know it's best for them and you're excited for them... but still. 😥
Oh, so quiet, empty nesters.
Jackie is looking and listening for her ! We are to mama
I would have thought we might have seen Spirit catch her own 'meal' and bring it to the nest before she leaves completely, no? I thought she was still being taught to hunt and capture her own prey first. Maybe she's just out scouting the neighborhood for her 1st apartment...so to speak. 💛
I'm right there with you in thought. I am also hoping that her first real catch would be brought to the nest to enjoy. Who knows, like you said, maybe she's just out looking for some other fun and rentals (lol)
@@tammic.a.t.crazyaunttammi9275 She only just fledged 3 weeks ago and was still ferociously dogging every move by her parents, especially for her meals...then just vanishes.🙏🏼💙
@@takemetothesea6238 🥺
@@takemetothesea6238 this makes me nervous too - is this normal for an eaglet to disappear this quickly? Like maybe she’d be gone progressively more and more - not so abruptly? Sigh….seems like she fledged only yesterday!! Blessings to you, sweet Spirit
@@MadameM. According to experts, and as Cali Condor stated, "Spirit is expected to disperse on her Grand Journey about 4-12 weeks after fledging. She fledged 25 days ago." I guess I'm just noticing how Spirit still seemed very dependent on her folks for food, flight & landing instructions, hunting & fishing, life lessons, etc.
Right after losing her fish in the roost tree, then having daddy go and fetch another one for her just sort of adds up to not being ready for complete independence yet. I don't know. Guess we' see.🙏🏼🦅
Juvenile eagles have a 50% survival rate in their 1st year. I pray Spirit is still in BB territory and returns to the home nest. She still needs hunting lessons from J&S.
What a difference this video is without Spirit... For the 1st time ever I had my volume up and it was so different not hearing that screaming Spirit... Thanks for all the videos, I really enjoyed watching them. It was my 1st time watching daily. I never thought I would say this but I miss that screaming already. At least if I ever go to Big Bear and hear screaming, I'll know it's Spirit ....
I miss Spirit so much 🦅Safe and happy soaring high sweet Spirit ❣️
Jackie finally gets some ✌🏻 & 🤫. I think she is keeping an 👁 out for Spirit so she doesn't get her leg ripped off. 😂
This made me so sad when I watched the other day! I really thought Spirit would stick around longer for meals. I’m happy for her but sad for us. I”m taking this harder than I thought and really miss her. Love all your videos so I can watch them over again! Thank you! ❤️
Well, when mom and dad redecorate your stick room and stop feeding you despite your tantrums... It just might be a hint! I think that Jackie's comfort about eating at home and not waiting around was a sure sign she is ready for some me time with Shadow!
My daughter hauled in a 18 pound Chinook salmon yesterday morning in Puget Sound with Orcas cutting across their bow and down the port side. It was always the seals that would grab my catch. I’m going to enjoy that salmon just as much as Jackie, she has had a good season. TY for your post that one with the hat lol😎
Jackie heard the loud neighbor Mr Lawrence and she looked like she thought Little Miss Screech at first. Mom misses her for sure. ❤️🦅
wow, gobble gobble, and big bite there at the end
Spirit are gone? I missed you 🦅😥😢😭
Spirit obviously must be doing well on her own. No more "freebies" needed nor expected. 👍❤️👋
Aw!!
Come Back Little Spirit,Come Back
We miss you awful.
Now we worry that’s she’s okay.
🦅🥲 at least for me, I’m new at this. But enjoyed every video.
Thanks Cali👌🏻
Looks like she’s enjoying a peaceful meal without spirit taking it
@PaulacSmith: You took the words right out of my mouth..👍🏻👍🏻 Bon appetit, Mom!
Beautiful to watch😊 thank you💖💙
🙏 遙遠祝福 Spirit 平安!
平安無論在何處!......
鷹爸媽得安慰!......

At least it was quiet for a change!
Empty Nesters. Will miss her. 🦅
Noooooo! Is Spirit gone?! 😭😭😭😭😭
🦅🦅🦅❤️🙋🏻♀️🍀
Jackie stays looking around still waiting for Spirit .. Shadow came maybe also wondering where is Spirit during dinner. Ahhhh worries me wheres the princess but still hoping she shows up later ... hopeful!!! Thank you Cali.
Seems... Somebody is busy Playing today. For some reason, Spirit IS NOT HUNGRY , Or she DEFINITELY would have been there for A Hearty meal ! 🦅💖
Can't believe that she is gone 😔
ADIOS BELLA SPIRIT
Hope Spirit drops by soon😢🙏🏼
I think Princess Spirit isn't gone yet.
Can she hunt herself and fetch fish from the lake ?
The empty nest is bittersweet torture. Knowing yet hoping
I'm gonna be honest! I'm new to this I've gotten attached to these eagles , but something is not looking right. Spirit has never done this before, to just disappear without even catching/Taking her first food by herself, it worries me. Øk...
So I am Trying to be Positive here however I heard little squees from a distance earlier on live stream & it sounded like a hurt or stuck lil one when Jackie was looking around, very in touch😔 I pray that Spirit actually has moved on ,but It was too sudden. We seen how hungry she was in other lives recently when they would bring in the fish. That showed in my opinion only that she's not completely ready yet to be on her own. I'm sorry I don't want to be a Debbie downer but I feel like we should have at least heard her throughout the day and evening, since that's her way she's just a loud girl. So, To not see Shadow until late, tells me he may have been wherever Spirit is helping her out . well Maybe later we can catch a glimpse of her🦅
💛🙏💛
I feel the same. Not sure if she’s ready yet either..I’m having bad empty nest syndrome 😭😭😭
@@dancingkay2604 maybe her and dad went out on an adventure. I hope so? Something just doesn't seem right I'm sad 🥺
@@stillMimi123 yes, I’m praying 🙏🏼 she’s fine!
I'm having anxiety about this. I absolutely take this to heart. I guess I watched her too long. I feel like she is either on an adventure and has been with dad or something has happened especially the last few times we seen her those dang hawks were bothering her, I could tell (well in my opinion) . There's no way I see her leaving just like that. I'm not an eagle expert but I watched her enough to know she's loud and still relied on her parents to bring the food. I'm sorry but it's heartbreaking to even watch anymore. I'm an extreme empath lol & I think too much too. I just miss that little girl 💛🦅💛
@@dancingkay2604 me too 💛🙏💛
Maybe Spirit did start her adventure. I will miss her, I missed Simba too🥰
Spirit might be getting fed from another adult eagle because if she was hungry she would stay close to the nest. Jackie is definitely missing Spirit, she is watching and listening for her A reunion would be nice to see 🦅🦅🦅
Cali, please, is there any research of eaglet behavior re: return visits to the nest after "disappearing act"??
It'd feel hopeful, if thre's a documented chance. I'm ready for cross my fingers & wait for the chance. That's nature. Thank you for all these reality videos!! 🐣🦅🦅🦅💖😊🌞
Ye his claws are very dangerous 🦅😅
I get a feeling spirit is trouble 😭 we all want to be positive ofcourse... she wasn't ready yet. Lets be honest she wasn't ready 😭
I think Spirit is gone and started her journey.
👍
Why would she disperse yet if she hasn't mastered hunting, plus free meals in the penthouse while developing skills?
I believe they disperse before they master hunting, relying on stealing food, road kill and other means. Learning to hunt takes a long time of trial and error and is gradually learned. I never expected her to be proficient in hunting before she dispersed. It's instinct calling her to fly away and explore and to find her own way. It was the same way with other eaglets fledging from this nest. They hang around for a while being fed and then leave. You don't know when that will happen.
how do young eagles learn where to find fish and also catch them?
She’ll be back when she wants a fish, just like kids do!!
Has anyone seen Spirit!?? I am trying really hard to hear any squee that could be her in the background.... ++++vibes!!!
Spirit could follow after another eagle which was carrying a fish. Thus she could have lost the nest even if she had not been gived a food. What does she eat now ?
She doesn't even know how to hunt on her own yet just because she's missing for a little bit or not around doesn't mean it's dispersal
That fish is half eaten so was she flying around the area seeing if Spirit was around
Baby come back!
Pine peak crown
weaved round with switch
Spirits gaze grew
Beyond ponds shore Mist.
To the horizon she lifts.
Out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking.
Scales of time weaved
Light aegis cloak from armor
White crowned whit
Holds Eyes Primal fire
Yet seems to see keen
Alll which bounds Round
In sight sence, and scene
Yet there may be a stare that hopes for a sign.
A stare past borders
Into dreams.
In this dream of Wave break
Wind bows stinged needles
Life
Live.
Love
branches sing song
sight line sweeps the long ache
Parallel to level
Above the mirror of the lake.
Getting close to a month since fledge . Only time is going to tell us if we see Spirit again .
Do eagles leave the area on their own or do the parents make them leave. Does anyone know?
Hello Lea Kennedy ' They instinctively when they feel they're ready. Until then they will be fed by the parents (usually the male).
Stephanie
@@SW13333 Thanks Stephanie. Sure will miss her, but wish her the absolute best.
I caught spirit sorry guys she's fine 👍
I dont see spirit anymore😟 that she left?
ok, so I started watching just before Spirit fledged. My very first voyeur cam of nesting birds, wink wink, and I have questions! How do we know Spirit is a girl? how does she learn to fish? Do the parent birds stay at the nest all the time? Do they go off on adventures? Are they a bonded pair? How soon will they have another offspring?
I'm not an expert, but from what I know...
Adult eagles use the nest for child bearing/rearing. They might have a backup nest around. They normally roost in trees on branches. Eagles can live for decades and do bond for life. As I understand it though, Shadow was persistent and pushed Jackie's first mate out of the picture.
Females are larger and Spirit seems to fit the bill. If eagles are banded, it's done when they are younger and they might take measurements to determine the sex. Internet:
"Bald eagles exhibit size dimorphism; females on the average about 1/3 larger than males. Data compiled by Mark Stalmaster (1987 - "The Bald Eagle" pg. 16) found that 2 size measurements, beak depth and hallux (toe claw) length, show the greatest separation in sexes. These measurements can be used in the following equation: sex = (bill depth x 0.392) + (hallux length x 0.340) -27.694 (measurements in millimeters). If the answer is positive, the eagle is a female. If the answer is negative, the eagle is a male."
Internet on hunting:
"Young eagles from wild nests develop their hunting skills on their own, but spend considerable time after they fledge watching their parents and undoubtedly learning by watching what the adults do. The actual skills involved are learned by trial and error, I'm sure. Much of the hunting skill (or at least the drive to hunt) is innate, as our hacked eagles were fledged into an environment without adults around to "teach" or "show" these young birds. Yet, these birds, again through trial and error, learned to hunt for themselves and survive. We felt it was important to continue to provide food at our hacking towers after the eaglets fledged, to give them a source of food for as long as they needed it.
Eventually, each eagle at it's own pace, these young birds stopped using our offerings and began foraging on their own. Similarly in the wild, the adult parents will continue to provide food for some time after fledging, while the newly flighted birds hone not only their hunting skills, but there flying skills. On average, I would say it takes about 4-12 weeks for young eagles to start hunting successfully. True, fully refined, specialized hunting skills, probably take years to develop."

Where’s our squee queen?🥲 please come back spirit !
