Eagle Nest Watch

 

Big Bear Valley, California, Eagles Nest March 5th 6:35AM PST

Windy conditions at the nest this morning ...

Note the Wind Advisory in effect.



I am using the blog to document my nest watch. Are you as fascinated as I am being able to view the Eagle activity in real time?

After a long break I posted about the Eagles on Wednesday February 25th A big THANK YOU to all who left me kind comments on that post. Take another look at that post for several UPDATES between February 25 and March 4th. 

The Eagles involved here are named Jackie and Shadow. They have been using this nest for 9 years now ... since 2018.  

A little interesting background:  Jackie is believed to have hatched in Big Bear Valley in 2012.  The nest cam was installed by Friends of Big Bear Valley in 2015. The pair’s first successful chick together hatched in 2022 (named Spirit).  In 2025 two eaglets survived, named Sunny and Gizmo.

                                  Did you know …

Bald eagles often reuse the same nest year after year, adding sticks and material each season. Over time these nests can become very large and heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds.

Thank you for stopping by and check back for updates.
