Smile…

3 March 2025

There are more than 52,000 people watching Jackie and Shadow’s nest where it has now been confirmed there are two pips in the three eggs!

Jackie weathered wind and snow overnight to keep those three eggs perfectly warm.

If this one single happening does not put a smile on all of our faces and tears in our eyes, I do not know anything that could. These two adorable eagles that have garnered so much love from around the world know that if all goes well they will get to be parents again.

The excitement hit Los Angeles papers today as ‘B’ sends us the link from NBC news. No doubt the papers will be flooded with news of this adorable and hopeful pair of Bald Eagles.

NBC television in Los Angeles is on top of the news from Jackie and Shadow.

KTLA has the story!

I am waiting for the European papers to catch up. The world needs a love story and it doesn’t get any better than this. Send all your positive energy to those eaglets to make it out of those shells safe and sound and to Shadow who will need to stock a huge pantry of FISH.

Thank you to ‘B’ for the story, to all who filled my inbox, SK Hideaways for her videos, NBC, KTLA, and ABC 11 and to all the good folks at FOBBV for keeping those cameras running and confirming the pips. I cannot imagine the excitement in their hearts today.
