Shadow launched into a dramatic midair defense at the Big Bear eagle nest on March 16, 2026, flipping talons up when a smaller intruder rushed in from behind and targeted him in flight.
On March 14, 2026, Shadow flew toward the Big Bear eagle nest carrying a fish for Jackie, but he was not alone. A young eagle chased him to the Big Bear nest in a tense moment captured here, turning what should have been a simple food delivery into another noisy standoff above the nest. For a moment, the scene shifted from routine care to active defense as Jackie and Shadow reacted instantly to the bird on his tail.
Shadow’s stick trick got Jackie off the eggs, but the mood at the Big Bear nest changed fast. Ravens returned, tension built in the nest tree, and Jackie and Shadow snapped back into defense mode.
Morning light filled Big Bear Valley as Jackie returned to the nest with fresh grass and greeted Shadow with a tender beaky kiss. The quiet exchange set the tone for a special day at the Big Bear eagle nest—but before evening arrived, Shadow had one more heartwarming surprise waiting.
On March 9, 2026, as evening settled over Big Bear Lake, a quiet and tender moment unfolded high in the towering pines. Shadow returned to their Big Bear eagle nest just as dusk approached, stepping carefully onto the massive structure where Jackie was already settled over their precious eggs. The reunion was gentle but unmistakable.
On March 7, 2026, A powerful windstorm brought a tense moment to the Big Bear bald eagle nest, where Jackie and Shadow are currently incubating their eggs. The gusts were so strong that both eagles were blown off the eggs three different times while trying to protect and incubate them. Even as the tall pine tree swayed back and forth, Jackie and Shadow kept returning to the center of the nest bowl, doing everything they could to keep the eggs warm and safe. It was a moment that was both frightening and inspiring.
For a brief moment on March 4, 2026, the Big Bear eagle nest looked empty. The eggs sat uncovered in the center of the massive stick nest while the camera quietly streamed the scene to thousands of viewers watching live.

For many watching the Big Bear eagle cam, it was enough to make their hearts race.
On the afternoon of March 1, 2026, The Big Bear eagles incubation routine took a charmingly stubborn turn. The eggs were safe, the forest was quiet, and Shadow was settled low in the nest bowl like he had personally signed a long-term lease. Then Jackie returned, and what should have been a quick shift change turned into a gentle, funny little standstill.
On the morning of February 28, 2026, as the first light crept over Big Bear Lake, something quietly changed in the nest. Jackie had guarded her eggs through the night. The forest was still. The air was cold. Then she lifted her head and began calling into the valley. Her morning vocals were strong and deliberate, echoing across the trees. Shadow answered. 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.
