Any BigBear bald eagles nest (Jackie & Shadow) watchers here?

This seems like the appropriate group.

I started watching them about a month ago. The two eggs have since been abandoned and eventually taken by the ravens, but they seemed to have not been viable/fertilized anyway. Now after a couple weeks, they seem to be rebuilding the nest, preparing for round two.

Man, yesterday when I checked in, it was sunny and the lake had mostly thawed! Now look today.

I didn't realize how much of the nest-building/maintenance is done by the male. Shadow is quite the guy, it's fun watching him maneuver those sticks and twigs around, lol.

This guy does some nice recaps of the action:

Thanks for including that recap vid!

Happy viewing! 🦅
