Hackles up, mantling furiously, this little girl is a survivor! And lovely, gentle Shadow watches from his porch ever doting on his very loud baby girl. Thank you Cali.
Introducing Spirit! The worlds loudest bald eagle ladies and gents! 😂 At 6:50 I imagine their conversation. Spirit: “Daddy…that fish was wayyyyy too salty. How many times do I have to tell you? Catch the fish at the NE quadrant of the lake daddy. Like where mommy gets hers.” Shadow: “Soooo…yea…have you been applying to any colleges yet or get a job for the summer baby?” 🤔
Spirit is one fierce eaglet ....Poor Shadow couldn't get out of the way fast enough! ...no eagle will mess with her when's she's independent that's for sure.
My, my, my, I was expecting a mid-air collision. 🤣😁😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shadow has learned to get back very quickly or possibly lose a talon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This beauty makes my day!
Spirit reminds me of my daughter as a baby. If she was hangry, she'd scream & cry even when there was a breast or bottle clenched in her fists🤣 I completely empathize with Jackie & Shadow, only I didn't get to fly away.
What do you mean "when"? She definitely STILL is SWEET! 💞She is learning the necessary skills needed for her survival!🦅When she's on her own, I don't see any bird or creature even try to mess with her!
Poor Spirit. Saw this live this morning. I think she was so hungry after all that looking for the one she dropped in the RT earlier (see Cali's "Life Lessons" video from today) and maybe hadn't eaten since day before. Her flying and landing skills are getting so good! Shadow is learning to drop the fish and immediately get his talons out of her way -- lol! Our little girl seems to be developing nicely. Love her J&S so much!
Ah, from the safety of nest, she knew her meal would not be lost. 😋I like the way Shadow hopped away behind her, avoiding the ankle bites he knew were sure to come. Then after she enjoyed her meal and got too close to him on the porch, screaming at him, he hopped up out of her reach. Smart daddy. 😌naughty daughter 😒
Princess Spirit is not a naughty daughter! She is learning survival skills that are needed for her to thrive! Her behavior is learned from what Mama Jackie and Papa Shadow are teaching her. 💞 TO BE ALL tHa EAGLE SHE CAN BE🦅!
@@janajamer734 I do understand the teaching and training that Jackie and Shadow are doing and Spirit is learning very well. I just thought Shadow's behavior was funny so I tried add a little humor. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Maybe one of the eagle afficianados will catch them teaching her. I bet Shadow was teasing her with that fish because she looked like she was going to try take it from him. Another lesson?
All the drama and ferocity is part of getting ready and practicing for when her real opponents - other competing eagles - won't be so gracious as to step out of the way! She's excelling at this, as she has with every other milestone.
lmbo i like watching these little videos your captions are hilarious 😆😆 shadow was letting go of the fish quick lol screaming meme sounds like the dc eaglet too lol screamers ..awsome little video clips thank you ☺✌
Just a question. Spirit's eyesight must be very good to have seen the fish in Shadow's talon. Could it be that Spirit also has seen Daddy pluck the fish out of the water?? Are we watching the "fish catching" training for Spirit?? Daddy has been a major fish "bringer". So Spirit may have learned to watch HIM to see if he's bringing a fish. Will Spirit be led to the lake eventually to watch Shadow (and/or Jackie) catch a fish?? Is that how Spirit learns to catch her own fish? Fascinating, if so!!! 🦅🦅😊💖
Thank you, carmen martinez. Since the camera is unable to closely view what happens at the lake, I've had to guess at how Spirit would be taught to fish. The video showed her noticing Shadow & racing to him. I don't see the fish in his talon. But she must. Shadow must be using the fish to teach her to follow him. In time Spirit will learn to follow him to the lake & watch him catch fish (i.e. learn to fish by observation). I'm a retired elementary school teacher. It's fascinating to know how Spirit might learn to fish. Also, there might be a variety of ways. But the key skill is the xlnt eyesight, I believe. Enjoy!
Hi AnaEl! Thank you for your reply! My curiosity about Spirit's learning was a plausible step-by-step method. Your reply was very helpful. It affirmed what I was thinking. Wonderful! Thank you! Karen Ray
Hi maricela48! Thank you for your reply! It was one I hadn't imagined. But it makes sense in nature. I didn't see evidence in the videos of Spirit ever responding to a parent's call. They are so solitary in flight. But that just might happen at some point in Spirit's learning. Jackie calls Shadow. Shadow & Jackie calling Spirit might be the learning to get Spirit to follow them to the lake to learn to fish. It would be learned behavior, not instinct. Cali talked about Spirit exploring making many different sounds. Then she would have to learn the meaning of sounds from her parents, I'm guessing. Cali also mentioned the eaglets use trial & error in learning. It's all so amazing! Enjoy! Karen Ray
Hi Cali Thank you for this amazing video of Shadow and Spirit ,camera work is amazing especially seeing Shadow flying into the nest with Spirit close behind.The angles these amazing Eagles fly is incredible. Spirit is such a beautiful young Eagle. Shadow and Jackie are such wonderful Eagle s to watch, so much to learn .Cheers Cali looking forward to more videos of these Majestic Eagles🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
I've been watching several bald eagle nests for a while now & I can't recall any eaglet coming close to the volume & amount of shrees than Spirit's. Is she unusually alot more vocal & demanding than the average eaglet?
Shadow is such a graceful lander and awesome fisherman. Spirit crash lands, steals the food and acts like she is protecting it. They brought it for YOU Spirit, no need to attack your parents LOL
That “nest” resembles the beginnings of a bonfire, nothing like the soft, comfy nest Spirit grew up in. ! Message to Baby Girl:: “It might be time to get a place of your own!” 😆❤️ Thank you,
Oh now she's really hungry. I think she was a little upset at herself earlier for losing the fish. She really wants to say thanks dad but she's too hungry to think about that. Thank you Cali! ❤️
😳 quase uma colisão de dois Boeing 😬🤭🤭 Spirit, a cada dia, mais veloz e com pousos seguros....Shadow ao pousar já larga o 🐟 assim não leve bicadas nos pés 😁 .
That was a pretty good fly in by Spirit.What a disaster diverted at the last second.I spoke with the DMV, Spirit still hasn't passed her driver's licence.
I just love her squees - she’s real funny and a force to be reckoned with. Maybe she can eventually hook up with Sky from west end who is real mellow and not very chatty - opposites attract 😆
It seems Shadow is a bit scared of her trying to get out of the way of her beak grabbing his talons, she is quite aggressive, I won’t why she attacks his feet? I mean she has got the fish, poor Shadow, bites the hand ‘talon’ that feeds her.
Jackie and Shadow need to teach Spirit some manners some life lessons… She's very greedy and steals their food they need to wing slap on the nest to teach her to wait her turn or I hope this doesn't become a problem when she grows up and if she tries to steal somebody else's food that could cause her to get into a fight with another eagle😳
Eagles are apex predators and scavengers. There are no manners or good behavior. Their instinct is to eat and will steal anything to ensure their survival, including plucking live chics from other bird nests. Spirit needs to be aggressive. These are wild animals, not humans.
I see a shift from pure food aggression a few weeks ago to now: initial loud squee and posturing/guarding food, taking first bites, then quickly moving to softer, almost cooing vocalizations to parent. Hanging with mom and pops, even sounding thankful.
@@mjanemoore2617 In any case, we are privileged to be able to watch something that has been happening for well over 100,000 yrs and probably a whole lot more. But no doubt Spirit is a unthankful teenager. Hopefully she'll treat her young'ns as well as her parents.
Hackles up, mantling furiously, this little girl is a survivor! And lovely, gentle Shadow watches from his porch ever doting on his very loud baby girl. Thank you Cali.
Spirit is close to intercepting Shadow for that fish in midair! 🦅🦅
Her flying and mantling skills are definitely improving!

I say same she is one tough cookie 😉Queen one day
This girl is gonna be fine! 🤣 The other Eagles will give her the fish to stop squeeeeeing! 🙃
Daddy's little girl 🦅! Talon licking good!😋 She sounds more like Jackie everyday!
Thanks Cali 🙋🏻♀️💜 That made my day!!!!
🙏💕😂😂😂 Spirit is hilarious. She’s going to exhaust her parents. What a vibrant personality!!
I love Shadow’s evasion techniques. He also needs earplugs !
Thanks daddy!!!
Looks like J and S are building a log cabin this year.
To lock the door on her?
@@stephaniefisher6226 lol
Spirit’s landing 🤣 “look out, I’m coming in hot!” 🚀🚀🚀
Shadow's looking like "What have I gotten myself into with this wild chick?"
ROFL.
She’s getting better and better, so is Shadow at protecting his talons lol.
My, my, my, I was expecting a mid-air collision. 🤣😁😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shadow has learned to get back very quickly or possibly lose a talon.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This beauty makes my day!

Peggy Hunt!!! Your comment is SO funny! I laughed out loud!!! "Only I didn't get to fly away!" LOL! LOL!
@@karenray1925 Glad I could give you a laugh!
Great job Spirit!!
Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled LOL. Who can resist her?
Me! I have to mute the videos before watching,,,, Run Shadow, Run!!! 🙉
I remember the days when Spirit was a sweet little thing.
What do you mean "when"? She definitely STILL is SWEET! 💞She is learning the necessary skills needed for her survival!🦅When she's on her own, I don't see any bird or creature even try to mess with her!
good save by Sprit on that formation landing.
Loudest eaglet in all the land. What a temper! I pity the Father of her babies!😂🤣😅
She'll be the one girl eagle who all the boy eagles will be like, "Spirit?! Hang out with her at your own risk!" haha
Spirit Awesome 👏You are 🦅💕

Thanks dad, now go catch me another one! 😂👍🏻❤️
What an attentive Pappa, went and got her another fishy in less than an hour

The noisiest eagle in all the land, but she’s saying “thanks”… right?😉
No it’s more like those seagulls from Finding Nemo “Mine mine mine!”
That's how I interpret it 🤷😁
Haha, yes, kind of like kids excitedly opening their Christmas presents! She's announcing it for all to hear " I got a FISH! "
this was great! she cracks me up every time with her intensity...thanks for posting Cali!!!😂
Spirit came in like a fighter pilot!!✈
Shadow thinking you dropped the last one so eat here on the nest lol
Not spoiled at all. Nope. 😜🤣. Sweet how Shadow waits and watches while she eats.
The nest is back!
Well. Sort of. Ugh! 🪵🪵🪵🪵
Looks more like a lumber camp😂😁
Such a wonderful father
I just kept thinking "mine! Mine! Mine! LOL
I wish we could watch Shadow teach Spirit how to fish....now that would be AWESOME!!!
Maybe one of the eagle afficianados will catch them teaching her. I bet Shadow was teasing her with that fish because she looked like she was going to try take it from him. Another lesson?
"RUN FOREST RUN"..(,HOMAGE TO FORREST GUMP MOVIE).. In this case its FLY SHADOW FLY!!
All the drama and ferocity is part of getting ready and practicing for when her real opponents - other competing eagles - won't be so gracious as to step out of the way! She's excelling at this, as she has with every other milestone.
Yay replacement fish ! Perfect eagle parents!
Her potential mate will definitely think " I Got A Tiger By The Tail"
WOW!!! That was awesome!!!
lmbo i like watching these little videos your captions are hilarious 😆😆 shadow was letting go of the fish quick lol screaming meme sounds like the dc eaglet too lol screamers ..awsome little video clips thank you ☺✌
I enjoy checking in on Spirit, Jackie and Shadow. Spirit's name fits her personality! Beautiful family!

All raptors have excellent eyesight.
I would imagine that she does follow them and gets to watch and learn. They won't always bring food to her - she'll figure that out soon enough.

Spirit is such a beautiful young Eagle. Shadow and Jackie are such wonderful Eagle s to watch, so much to learn .Cheers Cali looking forward to more videos of these Majestic Eagles🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Spirit is growing up fast!
Great slo mo seeing them both arrive at nest.
Shadow, that is your lil girl! 🥰🏴🦅
I've been watching several bald eagle nests for a while now & I can't recall any eaglet coming close to the volume & amount of shrees than Spirit's. Is she unusually alot more vocal & demanding than the average eaglet?
yeah she's intense, the other eagles aren't quite as agressive and loud.
Legacy, Samson and Gabby’s chick from 2021 was pretty loud and sassy. She was an only chick, too.
@@gertrudewest4535 👍thanks. I guess there has to be a trade off with with not having to witness sibling bonking
@@westoftherockies👍 thanks for confirmation. I pity who Spirit ends up with. Lol
E9 from Harriet and M at SWFL could throw some fits but this girl has monumental duration and stamina.
Shadow is such a graceful lander and awesome fisherman. Spirit crash lands, steals the food and acts like she is protecting it. They brought it for YOU Spirit, no need to attack your parents LOL

The young eagle is now larger than her 🦅 dad, isn't she?
Oh now she's really hungry. I think she was a little upset at herself earlier for losing the fish. She really wants to say thanks dad but she's too hungry to think about that. Thank you Cali! ❤️
Shadow is such a great Dad 🦅💞
Spirit should be real happy today she's eaten twice Shadow and Jackie are the best!
That was impressive. Look at Spirit showcasing them Shackie genes. Really gonna miss moments on the porch after supper
“I’m losing my fish in this mess of sticks. Dad COME CLEAN MY HOME NOWWWWW! I said immediately!”
there does seem to be way to many sticks than a normal nest.
😳 quase uma colisão de dois Boeing 😬🤭🤭 Spirit, a cada dia, mais veloz e com pousos seguros....Shadow ao pousar já larga o 🐟 assim não leve bicadas nos pés 😁 .
Spirit you are definetly Simba's sister...I love everything about you! Shadow you are a GREAT DAD!
Guess she let the neighbors know who is the soiled princess 👸 😃
thank you for making these in slow motion too lol
Shadow🤗🦅❤️
That was a pretty good fly in by Spirit.What a disaster diverted at the last second.I spoke with the DMV, Spirit still hasn't passed her driver's licence.
Still having a little trouble with the landing.
So funny Spirit responding to the crows 🤣 shut up! no, you shut up.
Spirit is so beautiful. Big Bear 🐻 needs to be designated a National Park and stop all development to save the animals!
Yo dad thank for fish delivery 🙏 now yo get out before I spirit got your talon again 🤣😆🦅
Spirit is always so dramatic. The only child of course. Well, and if she is hungry and thirsty, I understand.
Daddy, go away. Let me eat my 🐟 😄😄😄.
World's loudest eagle coming in at 100 decibels but Shadow just endures it because it is his daughter
Is this after the one that got dropped in the roost tree?
I love this nest....does anybody Know if the egg is still in?
Shadow is getting much quicker at getting his feet away from her seriously aggressive beak grabbing. 🤣🤣🤣
That's some flying there.looks like she was going ro steal the fish mid flight..
So has Spirit been spotted this year? Did she make it?
I just love her squees - she’s real funny and a force to be reckoned with. Maybe she can eventually hook up with Sky from west end who is real mellow and not very chatty - opposites attract 😆
oh, how I love miss squeeee Queen...
When does Spirt get trained to fish for herself?
❤
❤❤❤❤🥰
It seems Shadow is a bit scared of her trying to get out of the way of her beak grabbing his talons, she is quite aggressive, I won’t why she attacks his feet? I mean she has got the fish, poor Shadow, bites the hand ‘talon’ that feeds her.
Has Spirit actually done any hunting/fishing for herself? Just curious.
I doubt it
Last year it was the same way constant squeeing.
2024: 3 eggs, 3 like Spirit?...oh my ❤
Spirit is like a nightmare. Shadow is so patient with his daughter. I feel he is not going to parent any more eaglets.
Spirit sis so funny but man she means business when it comes to her fish 🐟 (meals). Shut up and watch and he might have a foot Missing.
She is huge!!! And noisy😂❤
What a messy nest
Jackie and Shadow need to teach Spirit some manners some life lessons… She's very greedy and steals their food they need to wing slap on the nest to teach her to wait her turn or I hope this doesn't become a problem when she grows up and if she tries to steal somebody else's food that could cause her to get into a fight with another eagle😳
That's how juvenile eagles survive their 1st year, until they hone their hunting skills
Eagles are apex predators and scavengers. There are no manners or good behavior. Their instinct is to eat and will steal anything to ensure their survival, including plucking live chics from other bird nests. Spirit needs to be aggressive. These are wild animals, not humans.
Typical spoiled teenager. At that age my parents would have said if you don't like it find your own damn food!
