- Despite their 28-year age and 22 years of “marriage”, #Cholyn&Chase are as frisky as teenagers during nesting season. Mating twice in under 40 minutes shows their intact breeding instincts! Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies | explore.org #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey #twoharbors

- Cruz hatched at Pelican Harbor in 2006 & was the 1st known chick to naturally hatch on the Channel Islands since 1950. #Cruz&Andor are in their 5th year together; they've fledged 8 eaglets. Nesting season is here. Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies | explore.org #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- It was a cold morning. We were both wearing our puff jackets but mine was less stylish, synthetic, and I suspect less efficient. Southeast Texas, January 2016 #Birds #Photography #Raptors #BirdsOfPrey #Borbs #Birding #NaturePhotography #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography
- 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
- Despite what the calendar says, spring is already in the air for #Hartley&Monty. Yesterday they met briefly on the ledge before a rooftop rendezvous. Hoping for eggs in just over a month. Courtesy #SanJoseCityHallPeregrineFalcons Cam #birds #peregrinefalcons #raptors #birdsofprey

- JBS 24 & JBS 25 are very well fed. Even have tiny baby crops & a full pantry. But instinct has kicked in & 1 eaglet has begun food competition ~ it’s pretty minor. The cuteness wins over any bonking stress. Courtesy #JohnBunkerSands Wetland Center Eagle Cam #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey #raptors
- As we wait impatiently for West Coast happenings, enjoy these Texas cuties, JBS 24 (hatched Jan 25) & JBS 25 (hatched Jan 26th). Here they get one of their very first fish snacks. The world's troubles almost fade away. Courtesy #JohnBunkerSands Wetlands Center Eagle Cam #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
- The visiting eagles have been at the #WestEndEagles territory for about 2 weeks. Mating sounds have been heard off camera, but these were the 1st (and 2nd) visuals. Another episode of As the West End Turns. Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies, explore.org #raptors #birds #baldeagles
- Chase wants eggs & tested the nest bowl as Cholyn watched, reminding him that she won't lay for another month (at least). Not leaving history to chance, they mated in the nest Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies, explore.org, #TwoHarbors Cam Ops #raptors #birds #baldeagles #Cholyn&Chase
- This juvenile peregrine falcon is calling out with get well wishes for @alan678.bsky.social whose #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #singing, birds singing or calling. #raptors #birds #peregrinefalcon #sanjosecityhallfalconcam
- #Cholyn&Chase had their official nesting season kickoff ~ at least from where we could see them. 2x mating & Chase brought Cholyn a nice fish for lunch. Here’s hoping for a fruitful season. Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies | explore.org #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey #twoharbors
- As 18-day old NE32 napped, 17-day NE33 looked down only to discover very large appendages at the end of its legs that seemingly sprouted overnight. Yes, clown feet phase has arrived. This is going to be fun! Courtesy American Eagle Foundation/ #NEFLEagles #birds #raptors #baldeagles #birdsofprey
- A 3rd eagle appeared at the #WestEnd, who looks a lot like #Haku. The pair that has been around for a while is still there. Later, there was quite a remarkable chase scene. Who knows what tomorrow brings? Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies | explore.org #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey
- #Liberty&Guardian defended their nest against a mystery midnight intruder. At video mark 6:02-6:06, there is rustling & sub-adult bald eagle vocals right before Guardian issues a few wing slaps. Courtesy of #FriendsOfTheReddingEagles, California #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey #raptors
- 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
- #Cholyn&Chase filled their morning nestorations with lots of bonding bumps and beaking. Nearly 23 years as a mated pair and the romance lingers on. Courtesy Institute for Wildlife Studies iws.org, explore.org, Two Harbors Eagles Cam Ops #raptors #birds #baldeagles #birdsofprey #twoharborsdeagles
