🥔Bald eagles are "perch potatoes".😁 They spend much of their day conserving energy, observing their surroundings, or just people watching.

🌲Jackie&Shadow utilize their favorite Sentry Trees (some are snags) visible from Cam2: CS=Cactus Snag, SDS=Stick Depot Snag, LS=Lookout Snag, TP=Twin Pines, HOP=Hide Out Pine https://bit.ly/3F7Xh1l

🥚Jackie and Shadow have withdrawn from their unhatched eggs. On 4/11, one egg was broken and disappeared in the bowl. It is unclear if there was any development inside. On 4/13, Jackie consumed at least one remaining egg (no signs of development). The last (third) egg may or may not still remain in the nest (hidden in fluff).

We have no way of knowing why the egg did not hatch. It could be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, oxygen levels at high altitude, etc. It could be biological with something just being off at the time the eggs were created. It is very unlikely that either Jackie or Shadow are infertile since they have already had 2 sets of chicks together - in 2019 and 2022.

ℹResident Bald Eagle male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
ℹResident Bald Eagle female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012
