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.

opr 11.6. Sun 1.6.
9.6. 10:26 Jackie sat in the nest for over an hour.
It's nice to see her again. They had such a nice nest, ready for the second clutch, and now, in order to sit down, she had to compare it.
(I noticed how the water fluctuates a lot and quickly in the lake - early in the morning it was quite low, around the 10th it was ok - they probably have a problem with water like us …… ..)
4.6. Camera shot at 5,14 am - Jackie and Shadow on "their" pine tree.
3.6. at 5,17:XNUMX both eagles on "their" pine in the forest - they do not go to the nest all day.
23.5. From the morning until 15 pm, eagles are not visible. Even during the early morning "combing" of the forest, the camera did not find them.
They didn't show up for the rest of the day, the camera "drove through" the forest in the evening and focused on "their" pine and nothing.
22.5. 11:54 eagle pair on the nest, Jackie is somehow splayed, as if she had a bit of a peeling head ob. Shadow resists lunges…

11.5. In 5,37 - 5,51 Jackie and Shadow on the nest.
9.5.-10.5. In the morning and evening, Jackie and Shadow can be seen on a pine tree in the woods behind the nest. It doesn't drag them to the nest ………
8.5. The camera was filmed behind the nest in the woods at night - at 5,35 in the morning, both eagles are on one of the pines. It doesn't drag them to the nest during the day - they weren't seen there until 15 p.m.
26.4.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX Mrs. Petro, does the second clutch still seem real to you? The nest is still being groomed, it is wearing bedding, Shadow is dressing Jackie, but still nothing. L.
Hello Mrs. Leono, everything indicates that they are preparing for the second clutch, but in my opinion it will be too late for the eggs.
I also greet you very much, it just occurred to me that due to the local climatic conditions, it is already bad in time. Thanks. Have a good time and good health.
23.4 - time on camera 9:14:20 on the nest there is a flight attendant again 9:20:40 there is also a male and they even have names 🙂 The female's name is Fiona, the male Freddy 🙂
Thanks for the warning ! This time they enjoyed the "visit" - they were nice to see. So those names fit them 🙂 At 9:20:45 there were even 3!
The eagles did not show up until 16,45 - Shadow brought a big catfish (?). Then Jackie arrived and appropriated him.
At 17,02, the rest was taken by Shadow - a nice tug of war 🙂.
20.4.20 Today Shadow arrived at 10,25 and J. a moment later. They built, drilled bedding, beaked 🙂, patrolled the edge of the nest - nice shots. Both left at 12,33 p.m.
19.4.20 At 4,10:XNUMX in the nest, a squirrel (?) Riots - it's a little different than ours.
The first arrival of our eagles to the nest at 14,18 pm.
Squirrels appear frequently on the nest, there is a sausage. They are so-called. flying squirrels - northern flying squirrels.
Thanks for the information - they are "a little" different 🙂.
18.4 - After dark, when Jackie and Shadow flew away, a barn owl flew to the nest Time on camera 07:43:33
They're pretty crappy, aren't they? Now I'm not sure, but last year or two years ago this eagle owl attacked a nest of bald eagles, but where? Maybe Decorah North. Too bad I turned off the transmission after J + S departed.
PS I found a video on youtube! He had to lurk "around the corner" - he arrived immediately after the departure of J + S.
17.4. 13:17 Shadow arrives again at the nest with a fish with Jackie on his heels. Jackie immediately got into the fish, but Shadow was trying to unobtrusively pull the fish out from behind, apparently feeling like she could feed them both. Jackie has a different opinion, Shadow gives up. Jackie then sits down on the nest, maybe he's really getting ready for the second nest
16.4.2020 So I don't know, will Jackie no longer lay eggs? Today at 8,51 Shadow brought the litter, at 9,19 the first fish for Jackie, at 11,44 left for her half more fish, straighten branches, Jackie tests. From 12,46 to 13,26 she lay on the nest.
15.4.2020 Today (at 15,15 hrs) at the Shadow 9,24-9,30 hrs and Jackie 9,48-9,53 hrs. Both waited, but missed.
PS Orli met on the nest at dusk - 19,33 - 19,50
14.4.20 Even today, the eagles often stay in their nest. Jackie arrived first at 8,50 and Shadow flew down, around the nest. With less breaks they were up to 10,24, then 12,02-14,04 again with short departures.
14.4. 12:27 cute beaking of our favorite eagle pair
