Bald Eagle's Nest - Webcam Big Bear
Eagle's Nest Big Bear - description
The non-profit organization Institute for Wildlife Studies installed the camera in the Bear Valley a few years ago.
They kept the camera and transmission without the eagles using this nest.
In the autumn of 2017, a young, inexperienced eagle couple began to appear here.
In 2017, Jackie and Mr. B took over the nest. In 2017, Jackie and Mr. B mated, but Jackie did not lay eggs. Given that she was only 5 years old (determined by her feather color pattern), she may have been too young.
But in 2018 Jackie laid eggs that hatched and were named Stormy and BBB. The BBB did not survive a severe 24-hour rainstorm and subsequent freezing temperatures. Stormy survived. When Stormy was almost 8 weeks old, he was ringed on each ankle. Stormy's identification ring is purple with the number JR1.
In 2019 the female laid two eggs, survived one chick named Simba. Simby identification ring is blue ZR1.
Nesting 2020
This year the female Jackie has laid two eggs. The first egg was laid on 8.11, the second three days later on 11.1. Expected hatching is around Valentine's Day 14.2
The Big Bear Lake is a reservoir
in San Bernardino Mountains, San Bernardino County,
in the state of California, USA.
The lake was named after the grizzly bears that were together
with indigenous peoples of the region.
It belongs to the Santa Ana River Basin. The surrounding area is a popular holiday destination.

8-1-2020 From 14,11 to 14,20 Jackie (?) On the nest.
6.1. 9:09 Jackie has been sitting on the nest for an hour
Jackie is lying on the nest again from 11,36 to 12,37.
Later in the Nest: Jackie 14,08 - 14,26
Shadow 14,11 - 14,18
5-1-2020 Jackie returned to the nest: 14,16 - 14,20 and from 15,03.
5.1. 11:11 Jackie in the nest, modified a little nesting bowl and lies
She left at 12,44.
4-1-2020 Jackie returned to the nest at 16,58. She lay on the nest, twisted a few times and adjusted the bedding around her. She left at 17,17 almost in the dark (or in the great gloom? 🙂). Could there be a clutch in sight?
4.1. 12:25:50 Jackie is lying in the nest 12:26 brought Shadow bedding
If Shadow "turned" like this a few times, they would have a nice nest ……
Shadow flew at 12,38 and Jackie lay on the nest for an hour. She left at 13,38.
There was a wonderful view of them again - stroking, beaking, cooperation.
4-1-2020 From 9,08 to 9,17 Jackie rearranges the sticks a little and then rests on the nest.
3.1 UPDATES Big Bear Valley Friends and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam
Now that it is the beginning of January, we are officially in anticipation of Egg 2020! For most of the years when this eagle territory was active, eggs were laid during the first two weeks of January. Last year, laying eggs was a peculiarity.
So it makes me shiver - so soon to lay eggs - for example, in contrast to Decorah or the "Latvians".
The altitude is about 2000 meters above sea level and as I watched the night temperatures, they are well below freezing and from 8.1. should go up to -14 st. Brrrrr.
Today from 10,09 to 10,39 in the nest about Jackie - I'm not sure :-(.
In 2018, Jackie laid the first egg on January 3, the second on January 6. One eagle survived and was named Stormy. She still nested with the male Mr. BB. At 10:09, Jackie was in the nest. At 15:53 she also arrived and rested in the nest
It is true that Jackie has been testing the nesting bowl for the past few days, I hope he will adjust the bedding again, they only have branches there. So far it does not make the owls much easier
Bedding hard to get, everything is frozen and under the snow.
As they still rearrange and pull out the twigs, so I'm scared that they will stick out the circular foot :-(.
At 15,58, Shadow also arrived - they compared a few branches, rested a bit, and the "beaking" was and at 17,04 they both flew away.
2.1. 9,54 still strong gust, little modifications to the nest, still only one eagle
2.1. At 10,39 Shadow on the nest !!! 🙂
Today, the nest alternates both, carrying branches and adjusting the nest. E.g. at 10:19 both are in the nest.
09:45 Shadow brings fish; 09:46:18 Jackie arrives, Shadow leaves with fish 10:16 Shadow is back, 10:18 Jackie is back; 10:29:37 Jackie brings a stick 10:34:55 Jackie again with a stick; 10:36:07 brings the Shadow stick, 10:46:25 Jackie arrives
: )
January 1.1.2020, 10 01:16 and at 53:XNUMX pm Jackie is testing the nesting bowl. I haven't seen the male at all, I hope he survived New Year's Eve without major problems and nothing happened to him
28.12.2019/11,30/XNUMX I didn't look at the nest for a few days, so I was surprised by the snow cover. Around XNUMX there were beautiful shots of both eagles - working together and honest "beaking" :-).
27:12 Here they have a big cap of snow on their nest. 12:34 Jackie arrived at the nest with a piece of prey, probably a raccoon? All of a sudden she ate it, went to the observation branch, and flew away after a moment.
24.12.10/01/XNUMX: XNUMX a lot of snow on the nest, so the camera didn't work. Apparently it was snowing and the batteries could not be recharged. Shadow arrives at the nest with a stick and works with Jackie into the nest. They could also lend us some snow, at least today…
23.12. they have bad weather in BB, camera has not been working here for two days
I don't know if it can be shared like this, but I have to try. An amazing video of working together on a nest to incorporate a branch and smiling moments as Shadow tries to contribute a little bit to the mill, between Jackie's legs https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1040064896338993
It works, beautiful video, thanks 🙂
That's beautiful ! These two eagles are really show pieces :-).
15.12. 8: 55 both workers on the nest. 9: 09 and 10: 12 Jackie trains incubation
13.12 in time 05: 58: 50 two flying squirrels chasing the nest
12-12-2019 Today, eagles are on display: first perhaps Jackie from 7,51 to 8,15. Later, both from 9,33 - 12,25 - beautiful shots appear on the nest.
11-12-2019 from 10,34 to 10,45 on the Shadow (?) Nest - flies away and settles on the tree at the bottom right.
9.12. 8: 33 transmission resumed, Jackie breakfasts in the nest
7-12-2019 The same weather - raining and raining 🙁
4-12-2019 It's raining - eagles nowhere 🙁
3-12-2019 From 10,13 to 10,17 Shadow (?) On the nest - brought a nice branch.
2-12-2019 Today from the morning J + S are often on the nest - beautiful shots, there was also a "beaking" 🙂
1.12. 11: 12 arrives Shadow with a fish and immediately starts to play. Jackie rushed into 11: 21 and naively thought Shadow would give her the fish, which she didn't. Shadow defends the fish with his own body and explains Jackie that he has to wait for him to feed himself
The fish was showy and it was nice of S. to share. "Fight" was good :-).
30.11. 12: 45 arrives at the nest, Jackie, circling raven around the nest. Jackie looks at the snowy nest, leaves 12: 53
Thanks for the warning 🙂.
In the evening it started to rain and the snow cover is shrinking rapidly.
Have a nice first Advent Sunday Ivo, and all others 🙂
You're not Leono. I wish you and all the other followers a wonderful holiday Sunday
30.11.10: 38 camera works again, there is a lot of snow on the nest
It is obvious that the eagles were not in the nest, no breach of the snow cap.
The lake lies at a relatively high altitude. After all, the hills around are over 2 thousand. meters high (2400, 2200,…).
But at the same time, it's a "piece" to San Bernardino and therefore also to Los Angeles, and perhaps such excesses don't take place there (?).
Especially that the eagles show us as soon as possible.
30.11 50 Years of historic storm have left the eagle neighborhood and it looks like a fairy tale! This is the forest in Fawnskin near Big Bear Lake.

Thanks Petra, that's beautiful. Only if it also fell a little with us, it would be cheerful immediately
29.11 update
We got a record amount of snow in one storm. We are located in about 60 to 90 cm snow in many sloping areas adjacent to eagles. It's an interesting storm because the wind was blowing and throwing snow in different directions. There are many elegant looking statues and snowdrifts.

29.11 The 27.11 still appears to be covered with solar panels. He is said to be in the field over 60cm of snow.
Thanks Petro for the report, I thought of the snowstorm, so hopefully our eagles will be fine
Hello Ivo, just added photos from FB how it looks around the nest.
It's beautiful, but how will our eagles look for food 🙁? Thank you very much for the information and photos!
The lake is not frozen, so he catches something. Tomorrow should be in plus temperatures and peek out the sun, so hopefully icing on the panels will allow and the transmission will go again.
