Big Bear Eagles

UPDATE:  March 4th  6:20AM PST
Sunrise at the Eagle's nest.

The following OUTLOOK is based on typical Eagle egg time to hatch of 35 days ... the "common" range is considered 34 to 40 

OUTLOOK as of March 4th


UPDATE: March 2nd  7:51AM PST
Breakfast is served.
Both parents, Jackie and Shadow, are at the nest.
46F current temperature in Big Bear Valley, CA
Day #6 for the first egg and
Day #3 for the second egg.
Online speculation: A 3rd egg may be coming.


UPDATE: March 1  10AM PST
This is day #5 for the first egg and
day #2 for the second.
I am encouraged to see the Eagles staying
on the eggs without, so far, taking long breaks away.
Looks like another nice day in Big Bear Valley.


UPDATE: March 1st
Sunrise in Big Bear Valley CA



UPDATE: Feb 28
We have TWO eggs!
Second egg laid on Feb 27th


UPDATE: Feb 28 - 7:58AM PST
Looks like a sunny morning around Big Bear Lake.
Day #4 for the new egg!



UPDATE: Feb 27 - 4:15PM PST
60F temperature at the nest when this screenshot taken.
Snow around the lake is beginning to melt.
Mostly sunny. A nice afternoon.

Sunrise at the Eagle's nest!

UPDATE: Feb 26 - 4:36PM PST
I believe this is Jackie ... the mother bird.
Her partner is Shadow.
Both parents share incubation duties.
Eagle eggs typically take about 35 days to hatch.




We have a new egg in the Big Bear Valley Eagle's nest!

  1. Cool eagle cam. I watched the female on the nest calling and the mate came and landed on the nest. He moved a stick to a better spot. I bookmarked this link, so I can watch their progress.

  7. Fascinating to see the eagle and nest. When I was a kid camping my dad would say "go get Roger Tory" and we would ID the bird. That's Roger Tory Peterson.

  11. Live streaming of nesting birds is a hue challenge but can be very rewarding in What you see. We did a perigrine falcon for a couple of years.

  14. It's been such a long wait to hear from you again, my friend. I've missed you much. Only eagles today, so I trust you are doing well. It seems like forever waiting for the eggs to hatch, then even longer waiting for each one to take their first flight. It was fun watching them last year, so I'll be checking them again this year.

  20. Isn't it wonderful that we can get such a close look thanks to those cameras? I have followed a few "families" this way. It's great to see you again, John, and I hope you are doing well.
