Jackie & Shadow's End of Journey Closure for their 2024 Triplets

Today, April 11th, Shadow made his final closure around 8:48pm for their 2024 clutch of triplets. It was a poignant moment to watch Shadow repose their babies to become a permanent part of the nest.
You will hear Jackie and Shadow's closure conversation at a distance. They made the proper send-off this season compared to 2023 when the ravens volunteered to "clean" J&S' nest by making the eggs their "incentive dinner."
Shadow inadvertently buried one of the 3 eggs earlier today when he rolled and incubated them. The accidentally buried egg was already cracked open, visibly showing a partially if not fully developed chick inside.
It is hard to watch nature. But the lesson I gleaned from this season is the need for proper closure so the eagles can move on with their lives.
I look forward to seeing Jackie & Shadow when we visit them this Spring and Summer. We love you, Jackie & Shadow.

I made another "mislabeling." Someone corrected me... (thank you)... it's Jackie, not Shadow in the nest.

Shadow seems more "sensitive". I wish then happy parenting again.

" question" do they stay in the general area by the nest all summer.

[@Tavisola-SWRCARealtor]

Yes, they stay in the general area all summer.

❤ those two beautiful birds. Wishing them all the best in the future.

Is he eating them?

[@Tavisola-SWRCARealtor]

No, Jackie's aerating the fluffs (soft materials), consequently burying the remaining 2 eggs.
