For Shadow and Jackie at 4:24 pm nest time. This time Shadow has already seen his egg. Last time he was gone for 24 hours or so and never saw the 1st egg, so was not there to protect when Jackie finally had to take her 12 minute break and the 2 ravens moved in. Hopefully this egg will hatch and the chick is healthy and robust and able to fledge. Jackie normally is a 2 egg gal.

Moderator has said Shadow is not incubating as he has done in past seasons. Had 3 hour shift this morning and he incubated for about 9 minutes and 2 or 3 1-2 minutes shifts of incubation during that time. Otherwise he brought in sticks and fussed with nest. Per mod:

AM 6:24 J out; 6:26 S in; 7:19 S out; 7:22 S#1stick; 8:36 S out; 8:42 S#2; 9:12 J in; 9:13 S out; 9:27 S#3; 9:29 S out; 11:54 Zoom PM 12:45 J out; 1:35 J in; 1:52 J out

Jackie is hungry. Only the feathers remain.

Shadow brings the fish. :flirty:

Yesterday nest exchanges went well between Jackie and Shadow. Today, not so much.

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 not incubating the egg, nor do we know the affect this has had on the egg itself. Ultimately Jackie & Shadow are in control of the situation, they are doing what they are doing for their own reasons. Since we are only observers ourselves, we do not have answers to many of your questions. We will continue to observe and let Jackie & Shadow lead the way.

Jackie left just before about 3:20 pm. Egg remains uncovered at 5:00 pm nest time. Nobody on nest.

Jackie left incubation just before about 12:42 pm. Short visit to nest by one of them before 3:00 pm, but no tending to the egg. Egg remains uncovered at 5:00 pm nest time. Nobody on nest. Sun is setting, but sometimes she comes in a little later than this.

Jackie returned at 5:37 pm. The mics are so good here ... you could hear her breathing hard as she stood at the back of the nest!

What a mass: Jackie laid a broken 3rd egg at 6:00.50 - 6:01:10 PM

This is heartbreaking. I hope Jackie wasn't injured passing those shells. :15heartbeat:

wonder , if like at sauces a few years ago.
maybe none were fertile and they can have reclutch.

this does not seem to be a good year for eagles thus far.

Raven just broke egg and is consuming, so egg 2 is lost too.

Jackie is asleep with her head tucked. She looked good when she came in tonight. I just hope everything cleared when she laid that 3rd egg and she remains healthy.
