“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”

It is with great sadness to report that both of Jackie & Shadow’s eggs were breached by ravens earlier today.

Just before noon, Shadow left the nest, Jackie did not come in, and Shadow did not return for a few hours. We will never know why, but we are sure they had their reasons as they have been incubating the eggs faithfully. After they left the nest, we observed one of the eggs looked like it had broken, with a camera zoom we were able to confirm this. It is possible Jackie and Shadow sensed something was wrong with the egg. They could have also been protecting their territory as many other bald eagles have been seen in the valley recently.

Later in the afternoon ravens came to the nest and breached both eggs. Jackie returned soon after and continued to incubate one of the breached eggs.

There is a possibility Jackie might lay a 2nd clutch of eggs since these were lost early on and we are still early in the season, but there is no guarantee. Jackie and Shadow will need to move on from incubating first. It generally takes a month for a female’s body to recover and be ready to lay eggs again.

Many of Jackie and Shadow’s fans and the entire FOBBV team are truly heartbroken at this moment, please be kind to each other and our team while we all work through this.

We will not be posting a video of these events, but you can check the times on our live recap and you can back the camera up to the previous 12 hours.
