Looks like Jackie and and Shadow are back in the nesting mood. Shadow brought a stick, then both showed up at dusk for a round of nestorations and bumps.
Tucked (curled) hallux is another sign of nesting behavior. The hallux is the opposing and the largest talon. Eagles tuck it instinctively when around eggs or chicks to prevent accidental damage.
💅Eagle Talons are the weapon of choice. They can exert pressure of 400+ psi. ➡imgur.com/a/XG...
Jackie and Shadow's unhatched eggs were scavenged by Ravens on 3/7.
Both eggs appeared undeveloped: either they were not fertilized or development stopped very early on. There is no way to determine that an egg is unfertilized without breaking it (and the law!).
Resident male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
Resident female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012

Can't wipe the smile off my face seeing these beauties together like this.
Thank you Cali!
They are hard at it!
I know I’m smiling too😊
8:36 is it me or do they both look so beautiful, so healthy and shiny?
I agree. They are the epitome of every patriotic eagle depiction I’ve ever seen. Such perfection.
I 2nd your Comments - They are True Beauties ❣️
They do, like they are refreshed and ready to begin, again. ❤️ 🪹 ❤️
You're right! They both look fantastic even after all the crazy rain & snow looking better than ever!
@Steven Strain Lol
maybe another attempt to raise sone youngins❤❤
She has done it before
It is absolutely gorgeous to see Jackie and Shadow getting the nest ready for the next clutch of eggs. My finger's and their wings will be crossed for good luck on the next clutch of eggs. Thank you Jackie and Shadow for preparing the nest again. Blessing both of you for beautiful eaglets to be hatched.
So wonderful to see them together, on their nest looking beautiful and healthy. Taking care of oneanother. Such an honor❤
The weather has changed so much in CA. It looks like another try might be in the future. Hope it goes well. These two have had enough losses. ❤️Jackie and Shadow we're all pulling for you.💕
Round. two...let's gooooooooo! (I've never seen them so buddy-buddy...this is great!)
Love this very special couple! They look so serene now! Maybe they know something we can't tell? Please bless them with a new clutch!❤️🦅😍
So hopeful, these two have captured my heart.
I know fighting over food is such normal behavior like how Jackie got the coot the other day ...but I absolutely love to see them engaged with the home and the cute flirty bumping each other its like two teenagers in love ,, all the best for this next clutch
It’s great to see them back together in the nest, carefully moving fluff about! 😍😍
Getting ready for another clutch !! 🙏🏻❤️🦅
So happy they are back! It is like they knew we were praying.😊They worked very hard at nestoration.
I was so so excited when I saw this last night as I did my daily fast forward looking for the delightful duo! 😆
So happy to see them in the nest and possibly knowing, that might mean more eggs(?) Shadow was so caring and looked upset at losing those eggs. Maybe he and Jackie discussed trying this again! They're so beautiful; love watching whatever they're doing. Thank you for this. (from Sandi)
Bravo!
Wonderful! 😊
Just maybe they've decided to give it another try this year.....that would be wonderful ,wishful thinking ....fingers crossed❗🤗❤🦅🦅
Busy couple! Making preparations I hope!
😍 LOVE!
It would be nice if they had another opportunity to start a family
Hope there is a baby it 2 in the future for them- they are good parents 💕
Exciting! Ring around the circle of love. Spring cleaning and prepping for their home. Thankfully!!!
We want a clutch!
Thank you Cali. Great news. I hope they will have a great news for us soon. Do you resides in Big Bear? I hope you are ok up there. Stay safe. Another storm is coming. God bless.
Even if only a slim chance, I'm hoping and praying ✝️ for another clutch of eggs or even just one egg. Miracles do happen. Thanks Cali 💞
Hello Debi ❣️ How Wonderful to meet you here. Yes, I'm so hoping for a 2nd chance for these two this Season. They are "So Made For Each Other" - Just Love watching these Two❣️
SED 😴, Thoughts, Prayers and Many Hugs to you, My Dearest of Friends 💖💖
They’ve done it before, and nestbuilding activities are a great sign that it could be in the cards. Here’s hoping!
Hope you for a second chance with these two love birds.
Keep watching. Miracles do happen ❤
Sorry hoping for
Yay!!!!🥰😍🤩
Lifted me up.
Well hello loveys! I love that we can see them fly into the nest. The angle of the camera is fantastic!
this is the most interesing serie of all the platforms :P
Hi Stickman here’s to hoping ❤
It really looks like they’re making a hole for eggs!
Another set!! Please!
In such with a large tree for the construction of a nest 🦅Thank Cali Condor.
😍🦅
The sun really lights up the light edges on each of his feathers! Beautiful!
😍😍😍
Would Jackie be doing this if she knew she was no longer 'in season' for fertile eggs? I presume they don't show nesting behaviors all year long.
My Heart Smiles When I see them🦅🦅🫶🫠
Nature is calling, let's get back to work
😃
I'll be more surprised if they don't than if they do!
Their instinct tell them this is still the season for eggs and hatchlings. Trying again is the way to move on? We shall see.
😊
How long after Copulation / Fertilization, before she'll lay another round of eggs?
Is this what they do before they start laying eggs?
Yes, but we need to see this happen frequently, with increased activity of bringing sticks to the nest and Jackie trying out the nest bowl for size. It is a very good sign though! We will have to wait and see if the behavior continues.
Maybe Mother Nature has extended Jackie's egg laying time since this year has been so wonky. I can only hope for the beautiful pair
Thank God as they have a real name. They’re not called M 15 or M 16.
the odds are they won't lay eggs again this season but wouldn't it be nice if they did? Eggs laid now would have a much better chance of surviving the weather.
I am not sure on the timing but after the Ravens ate their first clutch of eggs did they have more eggs in early Feb? Is March too late for Jackie to lay more eggs? I really do hope they try again but not sure when will it be too late?
I think the latest time Jackie laid eggs was March 9, but I would think it could vary a little bit. It is getting at the end of the window of time, since we don't have eggs yet. Jackie needs to be fertile (ovulating) before we see eggs, but it seems to me this nesting behavior is at least a good sign that it could still happen. We need to see more of this behavior, and see her trying out the nest bowl for size, which would indicate her hormones are working toward egg laying.
Is it too late to lay more eggs, and hatch in time?
What do you mean by "tucked hallux"? The only reference there is to it on Google is this and other video titles containing the term.
Another sign of nesting behavior is when adult ball up their feet, curling the Hallux talon. They do it around eggs and chicks to prevent accidental damage.
@@CaliCondor Thank you!
they must be going to try it again...
What state and area is this?
ℹThe nest is located in Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. It is about 145 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine tree. The nest is the current home for Jackie and Shadow, a local bald eagle pair.
So maybe…….?
Shadow appears so engaged and excited! Such the gift of Nature!
Just something about seeing them working together on the nest that makes my ❤️ happy!!
Do we dare hope for another clutch? That would be awesome but we can only wait and see. It was so good to watch them doing their nestorations again anyway. Thanks for updating us and giving us a little more understanding of their behavior, Cali.
I have missed shadow and his sticks! Such a gorgeous pair 🌟🦅
They tidied up that nest real nice!!! It's all ready to go 🦅🦅🪺
Interesting that they are getting the nest all set up. They both did this before the mating began last time and before Jackie laid eggs before. It is like they are preparing again!!!! They don't usually do this unless they are on the down low that eggs are on the way....hmmm could it be? Baby eggs on the way? Shadow does seem to be quite intent on bringing sticks like crazy!!! Wow they are really busy!!! I don't think I have seen these two together for so long at the nest together shaping things. There isn't much room in there for both of them yet they made it work. Something is going down!
you can hear when Jackie leaves she starts calling for shadow lol
J&S mated at 12:23pm on Saturday, March 11. So I would definitely be keeping an eye out on Saturday the 18th for some eggs.
Great to hear! Love the early morning fog and sunlight. It would be great if they have more eggs, and healthy ones😊
The rain cloud passing so low in in the background as I'm watching Shadow reinforce the nest... Stunning.
This is truly the Eagle equivalent of looking into each others eyes cooking and having dinner together, then looking at the stars on the porch swing holding hands and discussing life.. then cuddling on the couch discussing what to watch .. light tickling .. falling asleep together.. this is actually all that.. in their world.. it might look like two eagles organizing a nest.. but this is definitely the Eagle equivalent of a romantic evening together. Love you two J & S . Thank you for bringing calm into my afternoon Eagle buddies . You are truly an inspiration preparing For your new beginning. Fresh wind !
Yes, I agree, it is quite the domestic scene of love and dedication!
Hopefully they'll have more success with the warmer weather.
Hearing Jackie squawking makes any day a good day.
Dear lovely couple, welcome home🤗
Tidying the nest and bringing new furniture! I am full of hope for them❤️
- Дорогая, я завёз новую мебель, сделал ремонт, убрал мусор , теперь можно и о детях подумать😍
They are so sweet! Love seeing them. Such a beautiful couple ❤🦅❤️
I believe that Jackie has another clutch due to the nest fluffing activity this evening. I'm thinking we should see a new clutch in the next 1 to 10 days..... Keep the faith.
Gasp! Are they preparing the nest for a second clutch?! 😱 Oh my god I hoooooope so! 🤞
This is so exciting to me. Sending Jackie and Shadow Love and Sweet Eagle Dreams of a successful spring clutch and happy and healthy Eaglets!
They're going do have another go at it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ True love never gives up 🤗
very way cool
I wondered when Shadow seemed as if he might be doing some nest maintenance the other day
that tasted like my wishful thinking
this seems downright hopeful
I agree. It seems as if Shadow has still been ready, but Jackie wasn't returning to the nest except to steal his coot, lol. Jackie coming in and doing nestorations is a very good sign. We need to see more of this behavior!! Hopeful here too!
I saw that too and was actually feeling very badly for him. Now it looks like he knew what he was doing. Let's hope!
@@AngieTX the way they went about their nest work got me as much as all the rest
it's a small space for both to work in, so there was bound to be some bumping, but
the way they were rubbing flanks 80+% of the time they were at it sure looked like both
were feeling some warm fuzzies about the whole thing
A great eagle team. So sweet to see them!❤
It's wonderful to see them back tidying up the nest! Together! ❤️
Sure hope they have another clutch ♥️♥️
Both Jackie and Shadow are lovely and interesting birds but I find Shadow to be particularly endearing.
I love these two - they are so strong and they never lose hope - how beautiful - and a living metaphor for us humans to keep going and have faith. They look refreshed and ready to begin anew!
💞😁 Love the updates, Cali 👍❤
Such amazing creatures! Love seeing them together. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼🦅❤️🦅
Or as someone else said on the last video, TALONS CROSSED!
How wonderful! I was afraid to hope for this behavior. I have found my emotions with 3 nests I have been watching this year were causing me to much stress. I had to limit my watching and carefully monitor reports about the nests. All three have had tragedies that are the way of nature. So for the last month I do checks of each cam about 3 times a day for just a few minutes. If I start getting emotional I close the cam. I have issues in life that are causing me stress that have to be managed. My husband and I are old and have major health issues. I'm very limited in energy because of my health. So I'm finding ways to manage. Now with this positive nesting behavior I feel hope J&S will try for a second brood.
May God bless you and heal soon.
Hi @Anne5440 I am wishing for you and your husband to feel better to be able to live your lives more comfortably. 🙏🏼💞🦅🦅
I love this beautiful sight! Nestorations! Bring on a viable second clutch! Hopefully, if so, better weather. Ravens be sitting in the empty nest like they own it!!! Look who’s back!!! Bye, bye ravens. 😊🦅😂
It looks like they both made the nest a tad deeper and surrounded it with more sticks to protect it. I hope they mate soon or did, and will have new eggs in that renovated nest!
This is so sweet to see. And, on the day they became "stars" on NCIS❣️
I pray God blesses them with beautiful eaglets!
Thank you, Cali Condor!😻
Be blessed all who visit here! 🙏🥰🤗💕
Shadow, you the man, man. 💗
That was quite a stick Shadow brought in. Love it. Love seeing them both working in the nest and the tucked hallux was a bonus :) ♥♥
I knew they wouldn't waste any time, those two lovebirds. 💙
They will b laying Eggs Again YEH!!! HAPPY DAYS ARE HEAR AGAIN. NC.✝️🙏👑❤️
❤❤...... maybe a late season round 2
Wow, Shadow is back to business and Jackie is joining in. Shadow wants chicks. Waiting with bated breath.
So exciting!!! Just great to see them working together.
Thank you Calie Keeping my 🤞 fingers crossed. I love these two 💕.
Love is in the air, maybe this starts a new beginning
🦅🦅💕
Yay! Getting the nest ready maybe they know something that we don’t wishing for the best I love these two!! trust the Eagles
🦅❤🦅
So gloriously beautiful...fingers crossed for more eggs 🦅🤞🦅
