Just like big eagles… Sunny and Gizmo are adding grown-up eagle skills daily—Gizmo is now an expert at self-feeding, like Sunny. And Sunny is showing other abilities, like solid balancing. Sunday morning, while Gizmo ate, Sunny stood on one leg to pull the other one up for a rest, then did a head tuck behind the wing to take a nap standing up…just like a big eagle. Sunny impressed Gizmo so much with an adult-like wing stretch yoga pose that Gizmo nibbled Sunny’s wing. Sunny also showed off a fan

Watch Live: Big Bear Bald Eagle nest camera

This past Sunday, local fisherman Mikey Soria, enjoyed a very rare close encounter with one of our eagles. Watch closely as the eagle approaches, nimbly snatches a fish from the surface of the lake, then flies off into the tree line. Unlike Osprey who dive under the water for their fish, Bald Eagles grab fish from the water surface, barely dipping their talons. Sometimes their catch may be too heavy for a smooth lift-off. In that case, the eagle may resort to swimming with the prey locked in tal

An official 3.3 second HOVER!—Special announcement! Sunny got some air under those toes. Branching out bigger every day, today was a landmark advance for Sunny! --3.3 seconds of no feet touching any surface! Up on the high balcony, Sunny put those wings into soaring position, then went back and forth between flapping and soaring… …and suddenly those giant wings lifted Sunny right up off the balcony! Sunny apparently decided that was enough courage for the moment and chose to drift backwards towa

Eagle Love... Shadow & Jackie surprised us today with a mid-day rendezvous. Then to top that off, Jackie laid down in the nest bowl! Seconds after she got comfy, Shadow showered her with beak kisses.... and again, some more beak kisses... but that wasn't enough for Jackie, so she nibbled at his knickers and got yet another beak kiss!

A star is hatched... Many asked to see more of the hatching process, here are the major moments we were able to catch. Shadow couldn't sit still, he was like an expectant father to be, pacing in the waiting room! From start to finish, this was less than 30 minutes. Way to go Shadow, you did a great job! When Jackie returned, her back was to the camera so we did not get to see her reaction... Congratulations to both Jackie & Shadow! We are now watching the other egg for signs of pipping, nothing

Home alone… Last night was the first time Spirit had the nest to herself. Spirit is now old enough to be left alone and she was safe. Jackie & Shadow likely spent some much-needed time together as well in a nearby roost tree. Spirit had a moment of adorable sleep talking and then a visit from Fiona (San Bernardino Flying squirrel), you can see her on the left side at the edge of the nest. Spirit took note and then the mighty wingslap followed! She remained roused and gave Fiona a piece of her mi

Waiting on the wind… Jackie and Shadow have been busy preparing Sunny and Gizmo for their first flights. Both chicks have grown to be strong young eagles in these past 11 weeks and are the size of their parents now. Sunny is 80 days old and Gizmo 76 days. Both excitement as well as a little nervousness are in the air, but they have most of their flight feathers now, plus the parents will be closeby to monitor and guide as needed. Shadow dropped off a pile of dried grass fluff and they both watch

Jackie and Shadow return ~together and safe… The silence in the early morning the day after the big fireworks display over the lake was quite eerie, but as the day progressed the sights and sounds of Big Bear’s wildlife slowly returned. We hadn't seen or heard from Jackie or Shadow all day, but then relief came to all who were concerned about their safety when both were seen together in the Twin Pine tree, one of their new favorite trees. The first positive sign was a flyby by one of the adults

Fiona wants an update… Fiona stopped by for a very quick visit to get an update on the eggs, Jackie wasn’t amused and sent her running! Don’t blink, you’ll miss her! Fiona is a San Bernardino Flying Squirrel, she is nocturnal and visits the nest winter, spring, summer, and fall. Of course we don’t know if it is the same critter every time, but they do visit the nest year after year. The flying squirrel is not likely in any danger since they are so fast, and eagles don’t have much better vision a

Gizmo’s catching up… Yesterday, Gizmo apparently decided to catch up with Sunny’s blasting forward development… …first, out on the front porch, Gizmo moved to the middle of the front porch limb instead of hanging back, right next to the edge of the nest like before. She even chortled announcements to the world while Sunny watched from above. …then on the back porch Gizmo demonstrated serious flapping skills with hopping and jumping thrown in...while Sunny continued watching. …and Gizmo’s progres

If you missed the live event earlier today, here is the video of Jackie laying her 1st egg of the 2022 season. From the first signs she was going to lay an egg to her last contraction, Jackie’s labor lasted about 5 minutes. Though we did hear some squeals (tea kettle sounds), it didn’t seem as loud as previous years and the process seemed to go smoothly. Many ask if she feels pain, we are sure she does, but to what level of discomfort we do not know. Going forward, you are likely to see her stan

Another beautiful visit … and Moon Camp questions answered We got to hear a nice Jackie and Shadow conversation first thing today and then see them visiting separate perch trees. While Shadow visited the Lookout Snag, Jackie chortled to him from her perch on Twin Pines. He chortled back. They were both there on their separate perches watching the area. After Shadow left, Jackie stayed for 30 minutes more. It was great to see and hear them both! We also want to answer questions that came up about

The morning after… Yesterday morning, July 4, Jackie and Shadow were seen together on their favorite Roost Tree, chortling out their morning song and then working on waking up enough to start their day. When they headed out, one of them dropped by the Lookout Snag to check everything around the habitat before continuing to their next destination. In the afternoon, a juvenile red-tailed hawk spent a long time in the basement of the eagles’ nest tree. There has been a juvenile red-tail using the b

Nature in its glory! Wednesday, before the sun peeked over the horizon, coyotes howled, Jackie chortled, and two gorgeous eaglets on their nest tree watched as nature came to life all around. With a few flapping warm-ups, Sunny flew off to start her day…and kindly circled back for a picture-perfect fly-by in front of Gizmo, maybe asking her to join in the fun. Gizmo stayed extra minutes for a back porch workout and gentle warmups on the balcony, then headed out to answer the call of the beautifu

‘Sticky’ shift changes and little nature breaks… Yesterday morning, after Shadow’s first all-nighter on the nest this season, Jackie came in before sunrise to give him some time off. Shadow didn’t wait long before turning the nest over to Jackie. He shook off his wings on the front porch and headed out for a well-earned break--he was on the nest for about 17 hours, not quite as long as Jackie’s record of over 27 hours. The nest camera was down at that time, so we watched this shift change from C

Priceless and precious moments… At six weeks old today, Sunny weighs in at 7-9 lbs with Gizmo very close behind. Currently, one way to tell them apart is that Sunny has darker feathers on the back (mantle), while Gizmo's are a mix of light and dark. With their big growth spurts behind them now, all energy for the next few weeks will be focused on muscle and neurological development. Mom and Dad are making sure the chick's expansive food crops remain stuffed full daily, mostly with fish now. Some

Two beaks are better than one… As we witnessed last night, a series of winter storms will be moving through in the next few days bringing some snowfall to the area. Jackie is such an amazing super mom, withstanding these storms like a pro. We may worry about her at times, but she always shows us her strength and fortitude as she covers and protects her chicks with every ounce of her being. She is an amazing example to all of us to remain calm and stay the course and good things will be waiting f

No, it’s still my turn… Now that there are 2 eggs, Shadow seems to be more comfortable with sitting on them. With 1 egg he often looked nervous about the egg and did lots of walking around it and staring at it before actually sitting down. But today, he looked right at home and even put up a bit of a complaint when Jackie came back to take over. This afternoon around 12:30 pm, Jackie finally took a well-deserved break—she had been on the nest since 9:30 am yesterday--27 hours! During that time,

A Fish, A Hawk, and A Raven… It was a beautiful day in the eagle habitat on Sunday as Jackie and Shadow continued to watch over and care for their first new egg. After their morning chortles, Jackie took her first break of the day and Shadow arrived for Daddy duty just a few minutes later. A short time passed before Jackie and Shadow were heard mating but it was not visible on either camera. Jackie may have called out to Shadow and these two lovebirds met up in a secret place for a quick mating
