Jackie and Shadow have withdrawn from their unhatched eggs. We look forward to seeing their nest visits, adventures in the habitat and evening roosts.
On 4/11, one egg was broken and disappeared in the bowl. On 4/13, Jackie consumed at least one remaining egg. By 4/29 the last egg broke down, some eggshell pieces may still remain in the nest bowl. No signs of development observed in any of the eggs.

We have no way of knowing why the egg did not hatch. It could be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, oxygen levels at high altitude, etc. It could be biological with something just being off at the time the eggs were created. It is very unlikely that either Jackie or Shadow are infertile since they have already had 2 sets of chicks together in 2019 and 2022.

ℹResident Bald Eagle male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
ℹResident Bald Eagle female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012
