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.

Big Bear eagle nest











8.5. J+S od 6,32 – 8,47 k vidění na hnízdě. Zase je otravoval krkavec. Pěkný byl 10 minut trvající Jackiin (?) boj s donesenou košatou větví, kterou ne a ne dostat do hnízda.
7.5. byli Jackie a Shadow také na hnízdě – hlídali drzého havrana, pracovali, a když Jackie odletěla, tak svědomitý Shadow pracoval i potmě, ještě 2x zaletěl pro větev. Vzdálil se ve 20,03 hod. Ještě, že se na hnízdo stále vracejí, i když tu nemají povinnosti.

2.5 At 8,26 Jackie arrives with a branch, at 8,29 Shadow also with a branch, J. disappears from behind, S. looks out and then at 8,53 she leaves. Jackie arrives with another branch at 9,12 - landing is a bit complicated. He leaves again from behind at 9,25.
1.5. V 7,37 - 8,33 J + S on the nest. Today is May Day, so J + S keeps the tradition and at 7,56 there is beaking :-).
Shadow returns to the nest completely out of breath at 9,22-9,40.
30.4. The eagles fly in the dark - Shadow arrived at 19,55, Jackie two minutes later - they leveled the nest and flew in 20,04-06 in the same order.

From the initial adjustments of the nest, through the laying of eggs to the breaking of the heart. From new beginnings again with the hope of a second clutch, a clutch of eggs and another broken heart. Jackie and Shadow persevered and will continue to do so in the years to come! Many thanks to the Friends of Big Bear Valley for giving us the opportunity to watch eagles in their natural habitat! ♥

19.4. The camera shows the surroundings of the nest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTwlB7B959w
Hello Petro,
as I have been watching for some year, I have the impression that the water in the lake is declining. I also looked at the map and you can see how some places where the water used to reach, remained far from the water.
Hello Leon, you're right, the water in the lake is really running low. There has been a lot of drought lately. They also had to expand the boat dock, due to the depth of the water.
17.4 in 9,08 raven ……………….
16.4. It's heartbreaking how J + S still wears branches and bedding, especially Shadow doesn't want to give up. He was on the nest on the night of 15/16 4th and at 01,44 flew into the dark - unusual.
15.4. Today the presence of J + S on the nest from 13,45 to 15,52. First, Shadow brought a large branch and at 14,30 pm he brought a beautiful fish, then Jackie arrived and appropriated the catch. From 14,48:15,52 p.m., Shadow sat on an egg and Jackie sat on the "porch." At XNUMX they both flew away. (beautiful shots together, they are still attentive to each other, beautiful couple)
15.4.
Yesterday, April 14.4, at the nest, resp. Shadow sat on a branch in front of the nest from 11,52 to 12,22. It looked like he was saying goodbye to the egg - he was no longer going to incubate, and even later none of our eagles arrived. Only Fiona had a free field of action at 20,48 ………
