Hopefully those visitors and anyone else within earshot received the memo about who rules the roost and that their high rise lakeview home is not for sale Since then the tone and activity has been much quieter and things seemed to have settled down. Let's hope it stays that way so Jackie and Shadow can move forward and possibly add some new eggs to the nest soon."

Hopefully those visitors and anyone else within earshot received the memo about who rules the roost and that their high rise lakeview home is not for sale Since then the tone and activity has been much quieter and things seemed to have settled down. Let's hope it stays that way so Jackie and Shadow can move forward and possibly add some new eggs to the nest soon."

They didn't know all that would be in store for them as they both headed out to conquer the day. Mid-morning a visiting Adult bald eagle soared above the nest. Jackie and Shadow hurried over on high alert shouting at the eagle to leave. After circling a few times it flew off and so did Jackie and Shadow. Next on our favorite eagle couple's agenda were three ravens who were also soaring above the nest. But they went one step further and"

Many bald eagles do not incubate the first egg right away delaying development so that their chicks hatch closer together.

Individual pairs may have their own preferred recipe: some may delay a lot some not at all. It works primarily because freshly laid eggs do"

The Mic & IR light On The Nest Are Working Again This morning we were able to find and fix the issue that had stopped the nest camera microphone and infrared light from working. The fix did not require any climbing. Were very happy that it is fixed and please know that it could not have been fixed earlier because we do not enter the nesting area when the eagles are actively nesting or the area is closed. Protecting the eagles is always the first priority. Thank you for your patience Early this evening a juvenile visited a tree in the area tucked"

We have seen their innocent fun playful and loving sides as well as their more fierce aggressive stronger sides which makes for a wonderful balance. First thing Sunny did after waking up early yesterday morning was to go straight to the High Perch and wingersize. Gizmo carefully branched further out on that front porch connector"

Then Sunny went independent finding its own food tidbits in the nest bowl. Like a good younger sibling Gizmo followed watching Sunnys behavior. First flapping then checking what Sunny was finding. But it turned out that Sunny wasnt sharing the little treasures so Gizmo had to hunt too. After finding a tiny one Gizmo apparently decided that going back to mom for more food was a better option than trying to be independent like"

Shadow had a head start and arrived first and waited there for his lovely queen. About ten minutes later there was a sound of a stick snapping very close by and suddenly Jackie appeared and flew up to join Shadow. At first she had the stick in her talons then moved it to her beak and then back to her feet. She stood on it while deciding just what to do with it. Shadow took a curious look down at it but made no"

In the afternoon as Shadow was delivering a stick a juvenile (1st year) bald eagle followed him in and landed on the edge of the nest Shadow quickly took action with a side kick and pushed the juvenile off the nest.

"2-23-2025 Quietly Patient except when theyre not. Jackie and Shadow have been extraordinary in their great care of their [--] eggs patiently taking turns sitting on the eggs and sticking close to the nest even when its not their turn. Mostly they have been very patient with the waiting and with each otherbut occasionally they just have to express a little more. On Saturday Jackie had one of those not-very-rare moments. Shadow had been on the nest for over [--] hours when Jackie arrived with a big stickand somehow accidentally of course that stick must have started misbehaving all on its own and"

"1-8-2026 An Undeniable Bond of Love An Undeniable Bond of Love Jackie and Shadow enjoyed a beautiful morning at the nest yesterday that was filled with some extra sweet bonding moments. Jackie's overall time at the nest and her pancaking where she lays down flat over the nest bowl are very common as egg laying gets closer. She tested the bowl several times kicking out sticks if necessary and making adjustments for just the right comfort and fit for possible eggs on the way. Shadow certainly did not disappoint as he delivered another crazy-shaped stick. As he was placing it Jackie landed next"

"1-10-2026 Shadow Delivers Fish Gift for Jackie Shadow Delivers Fish Gift for Jackie After Jackie delivered the first stick yesterday morning Shadow was not far behind flying in with a nice fresh fish in his talons. It was of course intended just for Jackie his devoted mate and queen of the nest. In some nests the male bald eagle may deliver food gifts to their mate during nesting season. Shadow has been known to do this for Jackie and it's just one of the things that makes him so special He landed right next to her as she squealed aloud for the fish and yes it was all hers Obviously Shadow"

"12-14-2025 Passion Perfection and Progress Passion Perfection and Progress As we have seen these past few weeks Jackie and Shadow are working efficiently to prepare the nest for eggs. Shadow delivered the first stick of the day late Sunday afternoon and Jackie joined him with stick #2 less than a minute later. After a brief work session together they made a great tag team as they headed out of both porches to shop select and retrieve four more sticks. Jackie collected a superb new larger branch to contribute and after landing she flipped it over using her strong foot. Then she grabbed it in"

"12-27-2025 Entertaining stick antics continue Entertaining stick antics continue Yesterday morning after Shadow delivered the first two sticks of the day Jackie came in soon after with a third. It was a huge claw-shaped branch that she promptly began to place. Thankfully there was no evidence of the fishing line in her beak from the day before so all the good thoughts and wishes from her devoted fans must have worked. It was a beautiful clear and sunny day and there was just a dusting of snow on the nest so they both went to work as usual. They did seem to be a bit distracted at times and on"
