Vakar vēlā pēcpusdienā Džekija atliek 3 oliņu. Bet kādās sāpēs viņa mocījās, nabags

2nd egg destroyed by ravens
It was inevitable since Jackie and Shadow leave the nest for hours, but nonetheless sad.
They have their reasons.
After, Jackie comes back and lays on shell.
That's 3 eggs all gone.
Unless they have another clutch, that's 2 years in a row with no babies.

Skatītāji ir uztraukušies par to, kas risinājās mūsu acu priekšā, domājot, vai tas ir normāli. Džekijas un Ēnas izturēšanās šogad nav tāda, ko esam pieredzējuši iepriekšējās sezonās. Mēs nezinām, kāpēc viņi nav inkubējuši olu. Ērgļi ir orientējušies uz kaut ko citu, mēs nekad nezināsim, kas tas varētu būt. Ola, kura tik maz tika sildīta, visdrīzāk neizšķiltos. Galu galā Džekija un Ēna kontrolē situāciju, viņi dara to, ko dara, savu iemeslu dēļ.Sharon Dunne

As we have said before, we are only observers on this live eagle camera. We are privileged to have this view into Jackie & Shadow’s everyday life. There has been much concern from viewers about what has been unfolding in front of us, wondering if this is normal. The behavior we have seen from Jackie & Shadow this year is not what we have witnessed in past seasons. We do not know why they are were not incubating the egg. The eagles have clearly been focused on something else, we will never know what that may be. The egg having little incubation time was not likely to hatch anyway. Ultimately Jackie & Shadow are in control of the situation, they are doing what they are doing for their own reasons.
Jackie & Shadow can now move on and focus on their future. We are early in the breeding season so there is still a chance Jackie can lay a 2nd clutch in a month or two, though it is not guaranteed. We will continue to observe Jackie & Shadow to see what they have planned for the future. Remember we are observers only and no one has all the answers to the questions that are being asked. So we will continue to observe and let Jackie & Shadow lead the way.

Jackie & Shadow, another year older…..
When Jackie and Shadow both arrived at the nest for the 1st time, we could age them both by their plumage. Each of them still had remnants of sub-adult markings in their feathers which made it possible to determine their age (See attached pictures). Once a Bald Eagle turns 5 years of old, their age can no longer be determined as their feather patterns do not change. Since Jackie & Shadow are not banded, we can’t be sure where they came from or the date they hatched. We do know hatching can take place anytime in winter/spring depending on the region. FOBBV decided to make February 1st the observed hatch day for both eagles. So HAPPY HATCH-DAY Jackie, 9 years old & Shadow, 7 years old!!
