      Absolutely amazing display of cooperation by both couples. Jackie defended herself brilliantly while calling out (I've got this -- I'm OK) until she felt the need for assistance, chortling for Shadow, who appeared instantly. The ravens were equally amazing, but I'm always on the side of J & S, ha ha! Great video!

    I’ve always felt so proud of eagles but Bald Eagles are my favorite. In a way you can say our family identifies with eagles because the word “eagles” in Spanish is “águila” and my family’s sur name is “Aguilera” meaning Eagles Nest so we’ve always felt eagles are our mascot 😊. I recently stumbled across Jackie and Shadow on TikTok and I immediately became a fan and now I don’t miss FOBBV videos on UA-cam. This is the first time I saw this particular video with the ravens and let me tell you, my pride for eagles has just gone to another level!!! Their parenting skills and the way they fiercely defend their offspring is beyond amazing!!! Eagles forever!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

    Shadow is so sweet with the eggs. He could crush them in one claw with no effort, yet he is almost dainty as he settles over them to protect. People say they do this out of instinct, but I personally believe that they understand it's a baby eaglet. It's still in the shell, but they know they are already parents, and they love the hatchling.

    Quite a Show--Eagles and Ravens. The old 1-2 Punch executed to a "t" with Bonded Pair (H &W) Ravens doing an even better job than the Pair did this time last year. Cam 2 shows both Ravens landing in tree at same time ,catching J's attention from two different directions. She calls for backup and S lands on Outboard limb and then steps into the nest--knowing what they want is sitting under Jackie. Neither he nor J move, and Ravens finally flew off. Experience is knowing what to do and when. Our Pair are getting better at the 'Raven ' Game.

    Fascinating interaction with the ravens! They thought they could tag-team Jackie off the nest, but Jackie is no stranger to ravens and their sneaky tricks! Yes, the ravens were bold, but there was no way they could dislodge Jackie off that nest! She will barely get up for Shadow to incubate. No way that mama Jackie was moving anywhere. Once Shadow came in, it was basically over. The ravens hung around just a bit for final harassment, but they knew with 2 eagles at the nest they had no chance for nest invasion. I also heard raven vocals right after Jackie left the nest. I can imagine she showed herself to them and perhaps even gave chase to further escort them away. GREAT teamwork by Jackie and Shadow!!

      This basically an example of how nature is both beautiful and terrifying. It's just life. Ravens need to eat; nature designed them to be carnivores. Eagles eat fish; the fish probably aren't thrilled. Sometimes prey escapes or is defended and sometimes predators get the meal.

    WOW! Those Ravens are relentless! They’ve got their nerve messing with the large Bald Eagles! I hope the eggs didn’t get cracked during all the wing slaps. After Jackie took off for a much needs break, you could hear the Ravens in the background probably cursing her! Way to go Jackie & Shadow! 🦅 🦅 🥚🥚🥰👍🏻

      @@KiwiKiwi902 yes their territory is large, at least a square mile from what I understand, and he often flies out over the lake. Those ravens would not be getting any closer than a wingslap's distance to the eggs though. She was in no danger from the ravens with her powerful wingslaps with her 8 foot wingspan!!

    That gang of punk ravens are no match for our Mama Jackie and Papa Shadow!!
    Even though it felt like eternity, Shadow was running them off with his impressive aeronautical defensive skills (I could watch him soar all day) in just over 1 minute after Jackie sounded her "Emergency Alarm" calling for her hubby 3:53
    Poor dear. She was so stressed out afterward - Shadow knew his wife's nerves were "shot".....Came over to her side after ensuring the gang was no longer an immediate threat to check on her. Then the ultimate reward: nest time brooding for Shadow 😁

      @Recall Pit - Also the year before or after that one - one time Jackie had to leave the nest - had to be something urgent) - Shadow wasn't around and the Ravens got both eggs. Same thing happened in the next year Shadow left the nest alone too long and they opened one egg almost ready to hatch and took it. Can't remember if the other egg was in same timeframe - they took it too.
      Last year they had
      Spirit 🩷 a very fitting name for her :) The other egg never hatched.- Stephanie

    Cripes, I think I need a tranquilizer after watching that! It's shocking to see how persistently aggressive those ravens are. I thought Shadow was never going to get there in time. Poor Jackie, but what a mom!!! And it's incredible that with the size of her feet and talons, she bitch-slapped those ravens without harming the eggs, awe inspiring! When she "shook it off" and then left the nest, I had a feeling she was going to have a bit of an aerial chat with a few ravens. I wouldn't want to be the one on the other end of that encounter!

      Do not morally judge wild animals. They live on the edge between life and death every day and do whatever it takes to survive. Do you say, "Stinking eagles," when one of them kills and brings a duck to the nest? That duck had a mate and a nest with eggs too.
