Love is in the air. Saturday was the Winter Solstice. J&S mated the next day. So, I think a fitting name (or names) for babies might be Sol and Wini. Now the days will begin to lengthen as the light returns. we are on a rising calendar. Yes, snow will come, but Spring IS on its way. May you all have love, and may you all have someone to love. - Blessings.
What a nice news, Jackie & Shadow mate! 🥰❤🦅🦅 Loving whispers can hear around valley. ❤ They will be wonderful Christmas! 🌲 Fiona, are you going to have a date on Christmas? 🐿🐿🌲
What is a brood patch? I watched a couple of times around the 8 minute mark and did not notice anything different. I can finally tell them apart, I think. Shadow is smaller, and his feathers are lighter in color almost brown on the edges.
If only the snow would let up but it’s so cold there it’s hard to keep the eggs warm enough. And they are really diligent about incubating. But they had chicks before. Fingers crossed for this year 🤞
@florabamabelle6413 Fiona the Flying Squirrel is nocturnal. Jackie and Shadow guard the eggs all night, so there will not be any problems. The eggs are too large for her to steal. She can carry only a piece of an egg shell.
Humans know quite a lot. While it is common to deride humanity, we have done good things, as well. The bald eagle was on the point of extinction. We acted. We outlawed lead ammunition that was poisoning them. We set aside areas such as this one so they could live in safety and privacy. We rescued eagles hit by automobiles. And the eagles rebuilt their numbers. We CAN do good things. And so many OTHER wildlife benefitted! the spirit of defeat is counteractive. Look for the good in this world, because it IS here. Look for the love in the world because it DOES exist. I invite you to a "spiritual scavenger hunt". Take a strand of beads. It could be a necklace, a rosary, a bracelet, whatever... and at the end of the day, start at one end and look for good things that happened that day, or for things you are grateful for. Can't think of any? You can see. That's a bead. You can hear. You can walk. You have a mind to think and appreciate beauty. More beads. Tonight, I will count this video! Jackie and Shadow are mating! That's a bead! Their soft chortles of love. Another. Did you find a good parking spot today? Did you take your child to see Santa? Did you get all green signals while driving to work? Did that steak you cooked turn out perfectly? Did you see a beautiful sunset? Go to bed with "an attitude of gratitude" and thank God for the mind He gave you to see the glory of His world.\ May your Christmas, Yule, Solstice, or Hanukkah be blessed.
I heard the cone got hung up on Jackie's talon & went overboard, I know ppl are bummed but I've been waiting for days to see it gone so I'm glad, it would have just gotten in the way of the eggs & caused problems imo!
The weather here is a terrible place to try to hatch & raise eaglets. The snow comes & destroys all. Why don’t they nest later when the snow is gone. It seems to me nature made an awful mistake with having them breed only to end in tragedy. I don’t watch this channel anymore because of this. 😢
Merry Christmas to the FOBBV and to my fellow Jackie and Shadow waters- Also to Jackie and Shadow. Love you guys
I appreciate these videos very much. Thank you.
Merry Christmas!!
@catherinecooper2360 Thank you very much for such a nice comment! Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄🦅🦅🎄❤️
Two years in a row, no young'uns. And they tried so hard to hatch those eggs!! Let's hope for some this year. The house is so quiet without kids.
The climate is so hard on the eggs to survive let alone hatch ..
@HungryH1951 Let's keep our fingers crossed! 🦅🦅❤️
@chogan201 It is hard but these eagles are used to hard conditions and managed to have chicks in the past.
@@chogan201 Alaska has harder conditions and many more eagles. It is normal conditions for eagles to hatch in.
Wishing with all my heart ❤️ that Jackie and Shadow 🦅🦅 have chicks 🐥 this year
@sarahmarks7082 ❤️❤️🦅🦅❤️❤️
I’m wishing the same. It’s just too heartbreaking ❤️🇨🇦
Such pals!
❤️❤️❤️
This camera feed quality just keeps getting better and better

@Kathy_Bennett 🦅🦅❤️
Nicely done 😊Thank-you for posting!
@patriciakay1637 ❤️❤️🦅🦅😍
Looks like we might be beginning to see some brood patches on both of them. It was right around after the 8 minute mark.
What is a brood patch? I watched a couple of times around the 8 minute mark and did not notice anything different. I can finally tell them apart, I think. Shadow is smaller, and his feathers are lighter in color almost brown on the edges.
@AZsunflower Shadow's beak is darker as well.
Nature conveniently provides them more fluff on their chest area when the female is about to lay eggs.
@LaurieFloodTeacher And then the brood patch would be them using some of those 'extra' feathers for the nest? Feathering their nest so to speak?
@@AZsunflower It helps them better cover the eggs. It remains until after brooding is over. They also often go through molting during the summer.
@AZsunflower You can watch my video where it is explained what a brood patch is (around the minute 3 mark): th-cam.com/video/tiiTu_QMfMY/w-d-xo.html
Love these two ❤️🦅🦅❤️
@girluvshepherds ❤️❤️🦅🦅😍
Gnight beautiful two 🥰
@CharluvsJESUS ❤️🦅🦅❤️
I love these two ❤❤❤❤❤
@valuzimmer ❤️🦅🦅❤️
No drama on this nest. They are bonded.
@vickikelly3059 🦅🦅❤️
Nest will need some fluff to soften the nest bowl in preparation for eggs!! Sooo many sticks!!!
@judycoyne7818 Jackie will bring some fluff soon.
I hate when my husband lurks when I’m cleaning. Poor jacke😂😂
Me too, or when he sits in his recliner, watching me. 😊
@maureengay 🤣🤣❤️
I absolutely love this pair. How long have they been together so far? ♥🦅
@wwg1wga.ncswic Jackie and Shadow have been together since the summer of 2018. ❤️
This is exciting ❤❤❤❤
@lesleywood76 Yes, it is.🦅🦅😍 Have a great day! ❤️❤️
@BirdlifeOdyssey Merry Christmas to you ❤️
@lesleywood76 Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you! ❤️🎄🎅🥰😍
Hopefully the weather will cooperate ❤
Let's hope so. ❤️
I haven't watched for a bit but does it look like they grew winter pants? Their legs look much fuller than a month ago
Did Jackie sneeze at 9:15? that was adorable and funny.
@amariebeaubien Yes, she did. It was funny. In case of eagles it is called a snite. Did you know this? Have a great day! ❤️🦅🦅😍
If only the snow would let up but it’s so cold there it’s hard to keep the eggs warm enough. And they are really diligent about incubating. But they had chicks before. Fingers crossed for this year 🤞
@flyfreeqhrt5484 Indeed! Fingers crossed! Have a great day! ❤️🦅🦅❤️
CHRISTMAS GIFT❤️🦅🦅❤️❌⭕️🕊️✨🕊️✨
@SusanSpiteri-r2q ❤️🦅🦅😍🎄
I thought I heard Jackie say, how many times you have to be told, not walking on the back.🥴
@oldgoat50 🤣❤️❤️
God's ultimate wagle couple!!
@barbarafiskewold9619 🦅🦅❤️
Hey guys. Does anyone know if the light that shines on the nest at night is infrared or if it’s an actual light?
It is infrared (IR) and is not seen by them
@buffalokay It is infrared. It cannot be seen by birds.
Yep
@caronwilliams6366 ❤️🦅🦅❤️
Eagle
Is there a constant light on?
@dianacline1439 The light is on during the night but birds cannot see it.
🤗🥰👍👀
@sharonperry5213 ❤️❤️🦅🦅😍
J❤S love these two i hope they have chicks
@kerrykestrowl6785 ❤️❤️🦅🦅
Will the squirrel cause any problem for eggs?
@florabamabelle6413 Fiona the Flying Squirrel is nocturnal. Jackie and Shadow guard the eggs all night, so there will not be any problems. The eggs are too large for her to steal. She can carry only a piece of an egg shell.
@florabamabelle6413 You can see how Jackie protects the eggs when the squirrel comes during the night: th-cam.com/video/u7hzni050zE/w-d-xo.html
@ thanks!
🤣 lol
That nest is in need of some serious fluff. Those eggs will need some insulation.
GOD,S creatures always know what to do and when humans Don,t knkw anything

the spirit of defeat is counteractive. Look for the good in this world, because it IS here. Look for the love in the world because it DOES exist. I invite you to a "spiritual scavenger hunt".

May your Christmas, Yule, Solstice, or Hanukkah be blessed.
They cannot see the light.
They need some fluff in that nest. Go shred a feather pillow or four and some dried grass.
I so hope they are successful in raising chicks this year. Last year was sad to watch.
@womanofsubstance8735 I hope so, too. 🦅🦅❤️
Ok, where's Jeffrey the pinecone?🤨
@momof7sons It is not in the nest anymore. I recommend this video with the Pinecone's Story for more details: th-cam.com/video/e4ZJk_81JXw/w-d-xo.html

@catherinebreitfeller669 I see. They had some chicks before, so let's keep our fingers crossed. ❤️🦅🦅❤️
