2-20-2024 A Snowy, Funny And Calming Day

- Just before 5 am this morning, Jackie was sound asleep in the wet nest…until BOINK!
She had just been used as a trampoline for that silly, gutsy Fiona to bound over the top of her to the other side of the nest.
Fiona is one of the San Bernardino flying squirrels who have their home and nest somewhere below Jackie and Shadow’s nest…and this morning, she literally bounced on Jackie’s back get over the top of her and across the nest…then disappeared as quickly as she had arrived.
Jackie was not too pleased and quickly sat up with a resounding wingslap, to chase away whatever had just whizzed past. - in case you missed it, too, we added a slo-mo clip to the video so you can see just how crazy and daring that tiny squirrel is!
These San Bernardino flying squirrels, Fiona and Fast Freddie, are only about 9 inches long, including tail, compared to Jackie’s body length of over 3 feet. A bit misnamed, flying squirrels do not actually fly, but have a special membrane between their front and back legs that allows them to glide through the air from tree to tree…or when necessary, across the backs of bald eagles!
Shadow, of course, knew enough not to bother showing up at the nest this morning…Jackie is always the nest-sitter during bad weather.
Later in the morning, after the rain had turned to snow, Jackie did check-in by calling out to Shadow as she was turning her eggs…
,,,And while Shadow answered back a long story, Jackie stretched, did her business off the edge of the nest (PS-poop shot), and then announced that it was a success…Jackie is known for always announcing these--day or night, any kind of weather, she makes sure the neighborhood knows that all is well with her digestive system.
After such an active morning, Jackie spent the rest of the day shaking off rain and snow to keep her eggs warm and protected…
…while Shadow stood guard on some of his favorite perch trees, disappearing into the fog and seeming to enjoy the peaceful calmness of the snow falling around him.
Enjoy!

Beautiful..makes me cold though just watching all that snow !!
I would say that is the most comical thing I have seen yet! Talk about giggle moment. Thank you FOBBV and Cali. God bless our Eagle couple, their eggs, and everyone watching.🙂
I feel this video could break some records. Everyone will be sharing it. Kids in schools will love it!
Thank you! ❤
This video will truly go down as a CLASSIC! 😊
Poor Jackie, you don't expect a squirrel to boing off your back during the night when you're minding your own business incubating your eggs!!!😂 Fiona is a cheeky one!! ❤🦅❤️
Fiona has a lot of nerve flying across sleeping Jackie with a boink launch.
She’s the entertainment on a long rainy day lol
Some humans need to be taught by these beautiful creations how to care for children. This is just beautiful.
YES!! No hand outs. Taking care of thier own.. through good times and bad.. lessons learned.
So very true @watchernow
I tried sitting on my kid for 10 hours and they called cps on me. 😅
@@darwinawardcommittee were they developing in an egg. Try another way🤣🤣🤣
A lot shouldn't have any
Oh my goodness, Fiona finally shows herself. In a hilarious way. 😂❤
I was just thinking of Fiona the other night. Haven’t seen her in ages. Thanks so much ❤loved it
I love reading your wonderful humour and detailed description of the nest situation - you are a good observer and writer ! Thank you very much !!!
Such beautiful birds.
😍😂😍😂😍😂
That was one lucky chipmunk
that squirrel knows it is delicious
Thank you, what a lovely description of what's pictured in the video....wonderful nest to watch, always so much going on🤗
“…she makes sure the neighborhood knows that all is well with her digestive system.” 😆
🎉🎉🎉
PRECIOUS!!!!! cheers to you and your team for capturing these precious moments and creating fantastic descriptions of the adventures of Jackie and Fiona
75👌 LITTLE CHIP CHIP BOUNCED RIGHT OFF IT'S BACK
A day in the life of motherhood Jackie 💕 and her man Shadow
Oh Shadow, you are beyond. ❤️🤍🤎
Poor Jackie; what a rude way to be woken up !
Poor J: "zzzzzz ...boink...whaaa..whoo...oh it's Fiona...rassafrassa squirrel..."
On the upside, we did get a wonderful view of those beautiful huge wings!
🦅🌨️🌲🐿️
And the power behind the wings.
@@bcatblues725magnificent, aren't they?! 🦅🇺🇲🥚🌲
Sounds like sleet to me.
What a great MOM ! Better than most human ones !
Hysterical and also shows SUCH LOVE, the waiting, and endurance so amazing and wonderful Thank you for sharing !! 😆 ❤
How rude of Fiona.
Running through the neighbors living room/ bedroom/ nursery like that.
If she’s not careful, she may find herself stuck there for breakfast.
As
Breakfast.
I wonder if that squirrel jumped to it's death.
I love Jackie and shawdow so much
I was so freaked out, as I am new to the cams (didn't know there were two!)...seriously thought something had happened to Shadow as I checked on Jackie all day, did searches online to see how long the male stayed away from the nest, etc, etc, etc. I also worried about Jackie with NO food for hours. More research and felt better about that too. Was SO relieved when I saw Shadow standing by, conserving energy during the storm AND keeping watch. I thought humans lived with trials and tribulations... Now I wonder and worry about bird calls here in my neighborhood when I walk, and I find I am more observant of WHERE the larger birds are headed, I am so grateful to have found Jackie and Shadow and all of you UA-cam channel content providers. Thank you!! Loved the flying squirrel, does that little thing know and understand what an eagle is???? 🙂
I think they are not threatened by the eagle since they are so fast and eagles do not have great smell
❤❤❤
😂 I can’t stop giggling at Fiona and the springboard jump off J back! Her wing slaps are serious though!
❤❤
Sandy, I have enjoyed watching these beautiful eagles for a couple of years now, but having your description of what’s going on REALLY makes me smile! Thank you SO much. Love our eagles and eggs :)
Aww Fiona be careful or she could be an early snack. Jackie sure didn’t appreciate the bounce. ❤
Shadow was calling to offer some nesting time, bu Momma preferred to just hang in there through the storm. Gotta admire 'em!
The video of shadow on the tree w the snow falling needs to be on my tv 24/7. So relaxing and beautiful
C'est tout simplement incroyable....et magnifique ❤
Hope Jackie was able to get some much needed sleep with all the other critters deciding to wake her up. I would have eaten the squirrel.
Helo ❤❤
Tag your it! Adorable Fiona
Wow. Fiona startled me too! 😂
Thanks for the slow motion!
loving these videos! lolll the squirrel!
What a great video on all levels!
whaaaaaaaaaaat the heckers woke me up!! 💖🦅
❤
Naughty Fiona 😮
🎉
🐿️
❤️❤️
Beautiful shot of shadow on his perch! Thank you!
What was that a rat or a squirrel?
San Bernardino Flying Squirrel
Is the live video not working or is it just me?
Yess it's not working
Sorry sometimes our camera goes offline especially in times when we have had cloudy days as the battery is solar powered
Because they don't let other channels on UA-cam talk about Jackie and Shadow, we have the right to freedom of expression and we should be able to talk about birds. This is not fair. Those birds are not owned by anyone. A foundation does not mean they own the birds, even if they think they do.
The birds nest on National Forest Service lands, which belong to the US public. The foundation operates under a USFS permit, which, again, is administered by our publicly-funded government. I'm so angry with FOBB ...I'm done...I'm just not interested in them anymore...I'm about to unsubscribe from them .
Ok, bye 👋 No need to announce your departure 😂. I hope you get the help you so clearly need 🙄
I’m confused, what happened?
@@CindyInBamaI agree. FOBBV have given us something beautiful and the experience has united so many of us from all over the globe. And the comments have been nothing but positive, funny, educational, and heartwarming. It’s like the sanctuary we all need in our lives. 🦅 💕
Just a thought...we don't know what else is going on in another person's life. Maybe give the benefit of doubt to someone who is obviously upset, whatever the reason. I am so grateful for those individual content providers who help me catch up on Jackie and Shadow when I can't keep an eye on the cams. Blessings to all of you...and thank Mother Nature for every living thing, no matter what they do or say sometimes. And my apologies for butting in...I am definitely not perfect myself, just working at being a kinder person as I age (70), it's about time if you ask my friends and family!!! 😥
@@ramadasa77 I agree & understand your point. However, this person is mad that they can't use FOBBV's non-profit footage as their own, on a for-profit channel, for purposes of making money off of the eagles. That is not ok!
Thank you for posting. What a moment of bravery. ✨️🤍🙏🕊👣🌎
