Tiny visitor
Hell yeah. They started the nest in February last year iirc?
Bumb.It is likely that last year's chicks are alive and travel together, as two young eagles were previously seen circling near the nest a couple of times and the pair were not usually angry towards the visitors.
>>5092476Neat, thanks for the reminder!
>>5092482the nest has been there for several years but i read something after i made the thread that said shadow and jackie started nest rebuilding late in the season last year due to unseasonably warm weather (thanks climate change!) which is why there's no eggs yet. it seems we may have to wait a little longer.
favorite capture
>>5093375>53 coots murdered to raise TWO eagletsthis is evilSomeone needs to do something !!
>>5092476
>>5095042It's THEM!Anyone else kinda jelly of the life of the eagles? Seems like a meaningful fulfilling life.
Pack of coyotes?
Guys WAKE UP!
>>5095662Egg left alone over 30 min. Its over?
2nd camera dead?
>>5095806seems like the infra light is out
>>5096283eggward
>>5096283Sir Omelet
>>5096283Eggmond
Second egg!
>>5096283Phillip Omelette fry
egghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utPW2L2vgeM
A lot of incubation so there's no third egg coming?
Its over
>raven cracked one of the eggs IT'S FUCKING JOEVER
and now both eggs are cracked. RIP this mating season i guess
Ripperino pepperino both eggs gone. So what happen? At the moment the eggs have been left alone for almost 4 hours. One of the eggs collapse on its own. It was fine after parent left.
>>5097426Miracle if Jackie delivery 3rd egg, but otherwise super over.
>>5097429>leave nest for 3 fucking hours unattended>eggs get eaten>surprise pikachu.jpg
Well that was stupid. Better luck next year I guess
>>5097417What happened to it? I saw the raven crack the other egg, but that one looked cracked first. I couldn't find the timestamp where it happened though.
Fug, what a shitty season. I remember something about eagles starting a new clutch if they lose it too early but I don't know if that's possible now.
lmao have these birds ever been successful? every year these webcams are posted here and they fail
>>50975302 healthy female chicks raised last season and based on sightings it's likely they survived their first year
>>5097531
>>5097528The statistical odds of it go like this:https://www.elfruler.com/?page_id=3218>Of the 44 failed clutches, the adults at 12 laid second clutches, which is 27.3% of the failed first clutches, or only 3.1% of total clutches. The page says the timing is important. If it's too late, they're not gonna try again.These eggs were lost only a couple of days after they were laid. It looks like there should be time to retry. I guess we'll see.
>>5097479Hard to tell because of camera quality and lighting, but egg looked fine in this pic? Egg cracked before ravens show up. Somewhere 12-13?
>>5097530Jackies history 2017-2026 If I calculated correctly from the site:>Eggs laid21>Hatch7>Fledged 5>Still alive?3
>Incubating empty nestBirds are not very smart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghGYcSCCrR4They don't spend time in the nest but are seen mating
>>5097530they had 2 successful chicks last year newfag
Around 10:50 they both visited the nest and tidied it a bit.
They mated multiple times and brought sticks to the nest, so there is a chance they are starting a new brood
>>5099139>Did you heard? Mad lads going to try again.>So it seems, so it seems...
>>5099240kek noooo
Sandy the eagle lady has passed away:(
>>5100640she got to be an old lady and do a cool thing for the world and be on tv. Be happy she lived rather than sorry she's gone. It's a better use of your time.
>>5100646That's true. I hope the eagles will hach a chick that will be named in her honor.https://youtu.be/TErAMu3OywM?si=p3tiXkcEZW_Lgwj
Any hope left?
>>5101920yeah, egg laying is taxing but there was barely any snow and plenty of food, she could be laying again very soon
bump
>>5100823>?si=p3tiXkcEZW_Lgwjglownigger link
egg soon?
>>5103290sorry i didn't pay attentionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TErAMu3OywM>>5103293i sure hope so
GET IN HERE NEW EGG
>>5104157hope it's viable this time
>>5104162
>>5104157*chomp*
>>5104157OH SHIT
>>5104163Smug
Still looks like just one egg so far.
>>5104996They lay 4 days apart
>>5104999Good to know. Hopefully they have three again this year, by the time they hatch the worst chance of big snow will have passed.
two eggs
better picture, wonder if she'll lay a third
>7:53>Shadow almost crush one eggThis guy causes the most problems
maybe too early to say but they seem more attentive than to the previous clutch
>>5106055For previous clutch they did a lot more delayed incubation
>>5106126odds these ones hatch like last year?
>>5106195with a nest this comfy and the weather warm the odds are in their favor i bet on 70%
>>5096283Egg McEgg Face
>>5106349it was already named sir omelet, and then it was eaten by crows
>>5106358Well shit..
FOBBV analyzed Jackie's blood and apparently she's sterile
>>5107654Again?
>>5107654Quite impressive for a sterile eagle to hatch 3 chick aint it
any news?
So the eggs will be hatching (hopefully) somewhere around the start of April?
>>5108560Yes. Looking good so far.
>new clutch just in time for Sandy to reincarnate as a big bear eagle
Damn, they need to raise fucking 10 million until the end of July or the area the eagles live in is gonna be sold to a fucking real estate developer. Shit sucks.
>>5109399Whats the point of blatantly lying when posting something that contradicts your lieBrain dead
>Shadow fucking up things againUh oh
>>5109412? retard
Left egg has hole? Hopefully just dirt.
>>5109468probably a piece of dirt
>>5109399iirc they clarified in a faceberg post that they do have a Plan B if they can't get the funds by then. Dont remember what exactly but its a bandaid fixdeath to all luxury real estate developers
back to incubation duty
About 10 more days to go guise
>>5109468
>>5110657real? that looks absolutely toast
>>5110834I looked along the timeline, at 9:04 and 11:54 the eggs look fine when they're adjusting their sitting position.
"Pip Watch begins on 3/31/2026. Eagle eggs can hatch 35-40 days, J&S eggs tend to hatch closer to 40 days. "
>>5110657One of the eggs looks broken. I hope its tacky feathers or grass.
>>5111085I hope we get a closeup, that does not look good at all
New shot of the eggs. Unfortunately, the camera moved during the night.
One of the eggs looks giga fucked, bros. It does seem like a crack and not a speck of dirt.
>Camera zoom out when eggs shows upCowards
bumb
>>5111085Does not look good bros
>>5112053at least the other looks intact
i saw a rather large juvenile bald eagle in vancouver, BC, the other day. i'm wondering if these eggs are too late
>>5112219QRD>J&S had 2 eggs in early January>roughly 3 weeks into incubation, they left the nest unattended for 3 hours>raven comes in and fucks the eggs up>sad pikachu.png>fast forward 1 month>J&S try again>you are hereHatching should happen within 2 weeks, then we'll know for sure if that one egg is fucked for good.
pip watch soon
Pip watch has started. Peak pip time should be at weekend.
>>5112231here's hoping we get at least one little chick>>5112736the anticipation is palpable
thoughts?
>>5112840looks like specks of dirt. as long as jackie doesn't leave for too long again i think we're doing good
>>5095042>mfw people shittalking America on the internet
>>5112840Dirt. It's the other egg that looks sus.
>>5096288winrar
Hard to get a clean look at the eggs, but no signs of pips or cracks as of yet.
A pip was seen yesterday, keep an eye out today!
>>5113533at 17:53 you can just see the beak moiving inside the crack
Hard to get a look at the second egg, but there was definitely movement on this pip spot when I was watching it.
>>5113617it's confirmed, we pipin
>>5113617Oh shit
>>5113617I think I heard small peeps 10:02:46 but hard tell because the wind.
>>5113617Both eggs are pipping right? I could swear I saw a pip in the other one.
>>5113638>>5111085We hope so, but other egg looked pretty rough many weeks ago.
>>5113659kewl
It's a late brood this year so they don't have to deal with as much snow. Here's how it can look in February.Two chicks will be easier to keep alive than three like last year.
You can hear peeps!
Fucking crows man.
>>5113723Hell yeahIf the first clutch was indeed unviable, the ravens did a favor
Little head poking out of the egg this morning.
>>5113829cheep cheep muthafuckaaaaaas
>>5113723>>5113829LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
He looks so comfy in his egg bros.
>>5113907Nest bowls are so fucking comfy. eaglets don't know how good they have it
Im so happy we got an eaglet bros
>>5113945>an eagletGot some good news for you on that front, anon.
>>5113985yay!
crackfags btfo
>>5113911Parents did a good job this time.
>>5114027never forget that one dad that ate his own chick.
>>5113985THE EAGLET HAS LANDED
>>5114031Looks like that eagle dad is doing fine this year. Last year hurricane blow down whole nest and 3 eaglets.
>>5114043lil' peeper
Possible little peak peaked from second egg. Waiting for better quality.
>>5096283our greatest ally
Two of them!
>>5113985>>5114043>>5114153WE GOT EAGLETS?!
>>5114175Hell yeah
Easter eaglets
>>5114197Easter miracle!
What do you think the eagles smell like? Do they stink? Does the nest stink?
>>5114208i think they smell like rotten meat
get in bros the chick is getting their first meal
>>5114216So cute!
>>5114216Absolute units.
Ah shit, they've got an ant infestation in the nest now that the little buds have been born. I hope they are okay.
first with the cracked eggs and now ant infestation. what's with you negative nancies? birds can deal with ants
now the second chick is competing with the first for foodand so it begins
Coot count begins?
>>5114323What's out! We have Karen in here.
>>5114325isn't it common for birds of prey chicks to do everything in their power to kill each other and monopolize their parents' attention?
>>5114341of coursethat's how nature isj & s are good raptors though they do a good job
>>5114341Its just a matter of survival like how some bird mothers get rid of a chick. It's to maximize survival of the one that has the best chance instead of dividing the food and inadequately raising two chicks who may both die rather than one strong chick surviving.
>>5114331no but nasty behavior and always brooding about bad stuff is only done by ugly people. ugly thoughts manifest outward and create ugly people.
>>5114341Yeah but in bald eagles it's not obligatory. Last year the 2 chicks only had mild bonkings and both of them fledged.Shadow was even seen intervening in a fight
>>5114372worrying can just be people with anxiety
They both look strong!
>>5114153>>5114175Oh, nice! I was worried about the earlier screenshots that made it look like one of the eggs may have been cracked. Good to see the egg must've just had some dirt on it. Hope these guys will both make it.>>5114409They originally had three chicks last year. The biggest chick was very dominant and wouldn't stop beating up the other two. It looked like that chick was gonna take all the food and bully at least one of its siblings to death. However, the biggest chick ended up dying during a snowstorm while the smaller two survived. The surviving chicks had a much more comfortable sibling dynamic together.
>>5114507what happened to the chicks last year did they make it?
>>5092476Fuck yeah, eagle season
>>5114507I found some videos from last year, here is the chick who later died, beating up everyone
>>5114514
>>5114511Both of them fledged
>>5114517noice, hope the new chicks also make it
>>5114514Damn! And those fucking eagles live in that filth. Disgusting!
guys there's an empty nest. that eagle better come back
>>5114578Don't mind if I do!
Raven attack!
Why would one of the parents whine when the mate returns with food, only to go quiet when he leaves and not touch it?
>>5114627Nevermind she's feeding the babies now. I wonder why the wait?
>>5092476there was a big fire in socal like 100 miles away from big bear. Its out now.
>>5114514Do you think the nest is haunted by the baby?
>>5114688If there is any spiritual residue left after them in the nest, I think it is benevolent.
>>5114702This has fascinated me. Eagles usually have no problem eating the carcasses of their offsprings. Was there something wrong with the chick that the parent didn't take the risk of eating it?
>>5114719No, it was super healthy and the favored chick, it simply froze to death. The parents treated it's body different from the food they had.
>>5114702fucking coot katyn up in here
>>5114850I remember that day when Shadow kept bringing coot after coot to the nest
>>5114967I hope they both end up fledging and he doesn't kill him
>>5114967Poor eagles. They got two asshole chicks this time.
>>5114967It begins.
>>5114967>my retarded chud sons are at it again
>>5115068It ends!
>>5114967no matter what the explanation is the chicks trying to kill each other literally from birth seems like a retarded thing
>>5115259>As long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead
>>5115259Zero-sum + potentially limited resources available to the parents. It's better to raise one strong child with a higher chance of survival, than dividing in case you can't get enough food for both, so both die.
>>5115097did he died?
>>5115359he's fine
>>5115259What we see of any animal's life it is a still frame of an ever changing creature. Some bald eagle chicks kill their sibling. Sunny from last year basically avoided all fight and just wanted to chill. What ultimately benefits the species is what will become common behavior, and even that will change as lufe on earth moves on.
the little champs lying prostrate in fear after J and S started screeching at what i presume are raven fucking shits getting too close to the nest
>>5115720smart little thingies
>>5115951bulborbe eagel
Is that a goddamn rat?
>>5115977Tail looks too short, might be a vole of some sort.Seems like they've been getting a lot of catfish, wonder if that's due to the unseasonably warm winter California's been having.
>>5115985Heh they hunted local scoot population to extinction last summer. They brought 1 scoot looking bird so far?
>>5115991i hope not! iirc they hunted the coots mostly when the weather was bad
>>5115991My dumb brain wrote coots as scoots.
>>5116010>>5116066She looks so punished
>>5116066just fuck my shit up
Good stockpile of fish, despite the wet weather.
A nice morning scene and a cute Shadow
>go away a couple of days>snow on the nestjesus
Split second of hawk. Did not attack the eaglets while eagles were elsewhere.
>>5116454Oh god
>>5116512kek
Are you going to submit names guys?
>>5116454seems kinda concerning that a hawk was alone with the chicks
>tfw missed the raven attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa_ytvoMfoM
>>5116512
>>5116936Kek
I can't watch them as much as last year because I work a lot but seems like the little buzzards are absolutely thriving.
ive watched the baby closer to the camera try and fail to eat 3 fucking timesidk if this is jackie or shadow, but theyre visibly getting annoyed too
>>5117302i have a feeling it's going to die
>>5117366Big feet time
>>5116642you'd think Ravens would be smart enough to pick and easier meal instead of fucking with an apex predator
>>5117424You misunderstand the dynamic.
Sleepy.
>>5117530they are so cute when they plomp down like that
>>5117424Ravens just like to be assholes. They were having fun.
>>5117726CAW CAW CAW CAW
>13:09:08Huge catch!
>>5117530my favorite stage is coming up soon, the one where they look like fat bald turkeys
raven fucking shits going after jackie on the right
>>5118101The eagle loses to two sky rats.
Jackie has a fishing line stuck on her :(
>>5118153It happened last year too she managed to shake it off
>>5118109the ravens are surprisingly big. they also have teamwork and the intelligence of a 7 yo or something
>>5118169True! Checking up youtube videos, they are so big! Where I live ravens are so rare, I have never seen one irl. We only have small crows.
Shadow has been limping badly for two days.
>>5118277awww they're so cute when they aren't trying to hack each other to death
Okay gonna submit some names, any cool idea eagle thread?
>>5118288He's on the nest right now I can see. His leg is hurt he avoids putting any weight on it.
>>5118376The fact that he didn't bring any fish this time may suggest that he has problems hunting? Jackie also swallowed fishing line last night? So far she seems fine and maybe already puked it out.
>>5118345Peep and Chirp
>>5118345Chuck and Sneed
>>5118395Good news. He brought fish!
Dreaming of freshly caught fishes.
