Bald eagle Jackie demonstrated remarkable dedication by protecting her eggs for nearly 46 hours amidst a severe winter storm in Southern California. The storm, affecting the Big Bear Valley from February 12 through Valentine's Day, forced Jackie to weather harsh conditions alone, reflecting her previous experiences. After the storm, male eagle Shadow delivered food, allowing Jackie a needed break. The duo's eggs, laid between January 22 and January 28, are expected to hatch in early March, following two years without successful hatching.
"Shadow was so close to her on his landing that the tail of the fish slapped down right on top of Jackie's tail!"
"If only humans could be as loving and devoted as these two marvelous creatures!!!!"
