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.

27.10 Včerejší záhada vyřešena 🙂 Na kraj hnízda přistála Jackie. Zde jsou fotografie, celkem je jich 33

26.10. At 13,55-56 hours down, around the nest, one eagle flies, the other, perhaps Jackie, lands at 13,56 on the edge of the nest and balances there in a strong wind until 14,03 - then flies off.
The eagle was chasing a red-tailed buzzard there - photo https://imgur.com/a/5ZJ50ph The same eagle that chased the buzzard landed on the nest. But I'm not sure if it was Jackie, as I wrote below. And now I look like I'm not alone, Jackie is written with a question mark in the photos as well.
Well, sir, I didn't notice that! But there were two eagles - when the alleged Jackie was already sitting on a branch, the second one flew down at about 13: 56: 16-17.
I managed to take a photo of the landing eagle, accidentally the same as in that set of nice photos, and I looked at my ankles - so the probability that I recognized the eagle is small 🙁.
I apologize for the duplication, at the time of sending my information, I did not show yours.
And yeah, I didn't notice the other eagle, thanks for the warning. There is already a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLQilYnuOnk
: )
26.10 01:55:22 eagle fly around the nest, 01:56 eagle on Jackie's nest? So I'm not sure, Shadow is definitely not, maybe a stranger? What about the others?
I think it's Jackie
I'm not sure right now, I think Jackie's bigger.
24.10. About 13 minutes before the strange people appeared on the camera, an alien eagle flew over the nest (12:49:58).
Hello, they wrote at the cottage that there is an exhibition of cars in the vicinity of about 1,5 km from the nest and it is full of tourists. I couldn't find out more. Tan Eagle had rings, silver federal and black. That would correspond to Dr. Sharpe's ringing in the Channel Islands.
Thanks a lot !!! If they were tourists, they were very special 🙁 - a must see.
Well, now I see the rings 🙂.
It's okay, I saw them, I let it go back. I'll get away with that knife so quickly. They have nothing to do around the nest at all! Good and quiet night :)
I was pretty knocked out of it nej, the worst thing is that you can't do anything at all.
Good night 🙂
24.10. At 13,14-13,22, the camera found 4 very strange people near the solar panels! Two were doing something under the boulders, one was watching and one was constantly playing with the knife. They walked past the panels and disappeared into the woods. At 13,54 there was a big blow !!!
PS The blow came at 13:53:56
Hello Mrs. Leono, thank you for the warning. You're right, the behavior of those people is pretty weird, and the shot, I don't know, could have been a shot. Maybe we'll find out what happened there
young men, two had a veil, perhaps they would pass it on to the police, there were more wounds. Not to mention that the eagles were not in the nest there
I don't even want to write how the one without the veil with the knife felt to me ………. 🙁. To tell you the truth, it felt like they were setting a bait under the boulder. Fortunately, they left the camera accessories and went around it. The blow came only when the camera was filmed on the lake.
At the same time, this is an area where no one is allowed!
You're right, Mrs. Leon, the one with the knife was very weird and I wouldn't want to meet them in the woods
23.10. From 12,03, the eagles move near the nest, at 12,04, one sits at the very bottom right under the nest, after a while it flies away and the rustling of the other's wings can be heard. At 12,06, Jackie (?) Arrives at the nest and then up above Shadow's nest. At 12,07, Jackie is in the nest, then sits on a branch in front of the nest. At 12,09, Shadow flies away from the top of the nest, and then at 12,11, Jackie leaves. (Now it is difficult to recognize them, max. It is the opposite 🙂)
The weather starts to change in the afternoon, it's getting cloudy, the wind is blowing and the temperature is dropping.
21.10. Another beautiful sunny day (+ 21st.).
19.10. From 18,18 to 18,25 Jackie and Shadow on the nest - they compare the branches, there was also flirting (beaking 🙂). At 18,25 they fly from the back of the nest into the forest. They are beautiful 🙂
19.10. 7: 08 Beautiful Sunrise
It's like this every day and it's still sunny (temperatures over 20 degrees) - I envy 🙂.
17.10. At least in the time of 10,49-12,20, the raven (?) Is acting on the nest, that someone is on the nest outside the camera, it can be heard before.
Yes, it's a raven, I've seen it on the nest several times.
: )
12.10. At around 6,10 in the morning, an eagle can be heard from the forest behind the nest.
4.10 - 06:17 PM Jackie and Shadow on the nest
1.10. Repair of the overall camera system, including cables, assembly, etc. in the Big Bear nest - Jackie and Shadow Updates from Sandy Jackie and Shadow have made a few ′ ′ nest flights in recent days - so they are definitely still around the nest. We can hardly wait until we return to playing, giving kisses in their nest, as the last time they were on camera. - Maybe you can see the white and black beauty whistling around the nest of the nest a second photo to at least look. Last weekend, while we were working on the nest camera, Jackie flew in, sat nearby, and every few minutes triumphantly and loudly.... read more
Absolutely incredible amount of difficult work, both technical, professional, logistical and finally physical. Hat down and huge thanks !!!
It's really unbelievable, but we know Dr. Sharpe and Naty from nests in the Channel Islands. How many times do they have to overcome an incredible number of obstacles to get to the nests. I'm a big fan of them 🙂
28.9 - Big Bear online again !!
24.9. UPDATES - Friends of the Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam Last week we had things ready for repairs, but then the forest fires in Southern California, including one directly across the ridge of the Big Bear Valley, got much worse and the local national forest was for everyone. closed. Since the nest is on the national forest land, we could not enter work. The nearby fire was so close that for a few days it looked like the whole valley could be ordered to evacuate… but thanks to our amazing firefighters, and a little help from the weather (the wind slowed and the temperatures cooled), the fire is now much more controlled.... read more
3.9 Update
❗FOBBV continues to suffer from technical difficulties with the equipment of the camera system. Live stream is from 11.8 offline. We are working hard to solve problems. Thank you for your patience
19.8 Update Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam
Shadow wants to know when his camera comes back… and I'm sure you all do too…
Working on it. We are installing a new antenna and we also need to relocate it slightly to bypass the tops of some of the trees that have grown into the transmission path of the antennas that connect to each other. We believe that we now have all the parts we need, and we hope to back them up in a few days.
Thank you for your patience… and don't worry, Shadow will stay in our case to make sure it works!
Sandy

24.8. I'm just watching the map of the fires and the "path" of dangerous smoke from them - hopefully our eagles will remain out of danger.
12.8 As of yesterday, the transfer does not work….
FOBBV is working on a problem with the camera, at the moment we have no further details. Thank you for your understanding
9.8 The eagles showed up on the nest again. The last visit was on July 28. at 07:27:45 Shadow arrives and at 07:31:53 Jackie. They adjust the nest and beak 🙂 Shadow is feathered, it no longer has brown spots on the tail feathers. The transfer can still be returned in the time bar.
I missed it again - as we recognize them now, Petro
