Jackie and Shadow’s chicks no longer sleep with mom in the nest bowl
Jackie and Shadow's eaglets, Sandy and Luna, have grown large enough that they no longer sleep in the nest bowl with their mother. Instead, Jackie now rests on a nearby branch while keeping a watchful eye on her chicks. This change is attributed to the need for space management as the eaglets approach adult size.
- ▪Sandy and Luna have reached near-adult size, making it difficult for them to share the nest bowl with their mother.
- ▪Jackie now sleeps on a nearby branch while the chicks doze in the nest bowl.
- ▪Bald eagles have a tendon locking mechanism that allows them to roost on branches without tiring their legs.
