On the afternoon of March 1, 2026, The Big Bear eagles incubation routine took a charmingly stubborn turn.

Within moments, she rose from the nest bowl and flew toward the Lookout Snag for her sunrise break. And that is when it happened. Shadow flew in to relieve her — and discovered there were now two eggs waiting in the nest.
