Hell yeah. They started the nest in February last year iirc?

the nest has been there for several years but i read something after i made the thread that said shadow and jackie started nest rebuilding late in the season last year due to unseasonably warm weather (thanks climate change!) which is why there's no eggs yet. it seems we may have to wait a little longer.

The statistical odds of it go like this:
https://www.elfruler.com/?page_id=3218
>Of the 44 failed clutches, the adults at 12 laid second clutches, which is 27.3% of the failed first clutches, or only 3.1% of total clutches.
The page says the timing is important. If it's too late, they're not gonna try again.
These eggs were lost only a couple of days after they were laid. It looks like there should be time to retry. I guess we'll see.

Hatching should happen within 2 weeks, then we'll know for sure if that one egg is fucked for good.

It's a late brood this year so they don't have to deal with as much snow. Here's how it can look in February.
Two chicks will be easier to keep alive than three like last year.

Its just a matter of survival like how some bird mothers get rid of a chick. It's to maximize survival of the one that has the best chance instead of dividing the food and inadequately raising two chicks who may both die rather than one strong chick surviving.

Oh, nice! I was worried about the earlier screenshots that made it look like one of the eggs may have been cracked. Good to see the egg must've just had some dirt on it. Hope these guys will both make it.

They originally had three chicks last year. The biggest chick was very dominant and wouldn't stop beating up the other two. It looked like that chick was gonna take all the food and bully at least one of its siblings to death.
However, the biggest chick ended up dying during a snowstorm while the smaller two survived. The surviving chicks had a much more comfortable sibling dynamic together.

If there is any spiritual residue left after them in the nest, I think it is benevolent.

Zero-sum + potentially limited resources available to the parents. It's better to raise one strong child with a higher chance of survival, than dividing in case you can't get enough food for both, so both die.

What we see of any animal's life it is a still frame of an ever changing creature. Some bald eagle chicks kill their sibling. Sunny from last year basically avoided all fight and just wanted to chill. What ultimately benefits the species is what will become common behavior, and even that will change as lufe on earth moves on.
