Thank you for the touching recap and tribute... and for finding the just-right words to describe what Jackie & Shadow were each thinking and feeling. Jackie, even after all the weeks of dogged dedication to their eggies even in the coldest and most turbulent weather, followed the gentle guidance of her declining hormones. Yet Shadow, sentimental, deeply feeling and devoted father that he is, never wanted to give up hope until the last moment🙏 This is the second year (since 2022) I've sat on the nest with him as he took over night-duty and did everything in his power to make his precious eggies hatch. It's hard for him to let go, but now I know he has, and he is happy again... in vacation mode... with his beloved Jackie by his side..... ❤🦅🦅❤

I pray these two have eggs they hatch next time. My heart feels for them in a way I cannot explain in words.❤🦅

[@Battle_Hawk]

I know exactly how you feel @mikerivera7869.

I feel so sad for both Shadow and Jackie . They are such good parents and they are very wonderful to each other in such a tough moment . Shadow and Jackie are a wonderful example of how I should be when other people are having a hard time .

This is so old that it shows snow. Are we showing last season reruns like in the 70s and 80s? This is frustrating. Someone needs to put watermarks on these because they are being pirated and copied or something. This was at least 2 months ago.

@@lynnkramer1211 Not two months ago at all. The video has timestamps showing it’s from the second week in April. If it was old, what does it matter?

Better luck next season J&S! Y’all are an admirable pair of parents. Enjoy your summer, eat some tasty fish & find some sticky sticks 🦅🦅☀️

I just feel horrible for the two of them.... especially Shadow. His look when he noticed the breakage just broke me AGAIN & AGAIN! You did a great job with the clips & ty for sharing this part of their journey ❤️🦅🦅❤️

[@Battle_Hawk]

Thank you! ♥️

I was filled with so much hope this year, especially when their third egg arrived… 😢
