- It was a sad day in Big Bear. #Jackie&Shadow were away from the nest for nearly 4 hours. Only they know why. In that time, ravens made multiple visits and ultimately breached both of the eggs. Hope to see a 2nd clutch. Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- Jackie had another short labor laying her second egg of the season just before dusk. Shadow had been visiting just 20 minutes before, so he'll get a welcome surprise in the morning. (2026 Jan 26, 17:09:24) Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- Jackie squealed with glee & made a beeline for the nest when Shadow delivered a fish. But she & Shadow have constructed such a robust fortress, that Jackie stumbled trying to get to the nest. She did prevail in the end. Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- A quick labor for Jackie as she laid the first egg of the season. Shadow quickly came to meet his egg and seemed pretty smitten already. Congrats #Jackie&Shadow ! Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley, CA #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- Jackie could lay eggs any day now. Last year she laid her first egg on this very date. She & Shadow are putting the final touches on the nest. Throughout this early evening visit, they chortled and snortled away. Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley, CA #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- Jackie is focused on creating a fortress this nesting season. To that end, she brought an even bigger “tree” to the nest than before. Shadow just shook his head. Nest bowl pancaking more frequent, too. 🤞 Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles #jackie&shadow
- Shadow thought evening nestorations would be minimal, but Jackie arrived with a massive branch. She tinkered away ~ whittling and snapping branches to make everything fit. Fascinating watching her work. Courtesy #FOBBVCAM | Friends of Big Bear Valley #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey
