KD1 FOLLOWS SHADOW TO NEST, MOVES STICKS & PREENS HIM! IS SHADOW READY TO MOVE ON? Big Bear 8.13.26
KD1 the banded sub adult has been to the nest three times out of the past four days since Jackie passed away. KD1 was on the nest in the early morning hours and again in the afternoon after following Shadow back to the nest. KD1 is respectful to Shadow & unknowingly to the memory of Jackie while on the nest. KD1 gives Shadow his space, is a bit shy & tentative almost like it is a first date. It is a beautiful & bittersweet moment that we are watching between Shadow & KD1.
Shadow watches KD1 as "she" moves his sticks on the nest. I am saying she because looking at the size difference between them- KD1 is larger than Shadow & that would indicate her being a female. Shadow is very particular to his sticks on the nest but he just watches and let's KD1 to their own thing. Then KD1 reaches out and gently preens /nibbles on Shadow's wing feathers. They both seemed comfortable together being on the nest. When Shadow flies off to Twin Pines, KD1 immediately follows him!
This is the first time that Shadow has returned to the nest since July 23rd - the last time we saw Sandy & Luna on the nest before they flew off towards the lake. Shadow did not come to the nest for three weeks - the entire time Jackie was being cared for at Ojai Raptor center. However, today we see a change taking place. Is Shadow ready to move on? He still carries Jackie's memory in his heart but he seems open to starting some type of friendship with KD1. ♥ It is good that Shadow is not alone and KD1's presence will help him move forward. I feel gratitude in being able to watch Shadow & KD1 interacting now and it does help to heal the sadness over losing Jackie. KD1 has NO idea what a great catch Shadow is!!
Jackie is forever in our hearts ♥
