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.

Discussion
The 12,05 female is totally snowy when she tried to call her husband, so she did not do much to see her being exhausted. I do not have this fact, I'm so sorry
10: The 45 rose, snapped the snow, stretched itself, made a need, called the samsock, and then returned to incubate.
11,00 maybe the weather has settled down. It is equally strange that they start families at the same time in different zones. H. is warm, J. ideal weather and here is another winter. The female has a "beanie" on her head.
9,40 is almost snowy
We will see it on nests more often, last year in Decorah a female was almost not seen how she was snowy. Female BB is persistent or did not call a male to change.
SNOW HEATS! HOLOMRÁZ would be much higher!
I also worry about it, occasionally raising her head, but the frosty rain that still falls on her. I do not know how long it will last for hunger, but according to the other nesting places where the partners are alternating or wearing the food for the nest, this is really poor.
Without food, it will last for a few days, just to not bear another egg today, it would be exhausted.
Two eggs on this nest are enough.
I'm afraid of the female, she has to be exhausted, she's just lying, not moving
I'm joking about the weather, it's gonna have to rain in the morning, in the afternoon the weather should be slick. There's a poor guy since yesterday.
7,31 and still no rotation, I thought she would be replaced at least at dawn and bring her some food
Even in 7,30, the female is still sitting in the rain
9.1. 5,40 is still licking and the soaked female sits on the nest, again without changing!
The female bravely heats the eggs, the rain is still raining and the snow falls.
Where 16,22 is still raining, the female is completely drenched and over 4hod. no back changes
9: 08: 57 flies 9: 09: 52 takes over incubation of male
8.1. at 8,31 it rains, poor mom is all wet and ugly drops "crawl" even on camera
I have not seen a man hang out here since morning? The female needs to be replaced. In 7: 17 flew through, but 7's 19 run: 34: XNUMX returned.
Second egg !!
Where the 16,00 male brought a frog's female for dinner
11,03 left the nest again, but returned within a minute.
That egg was long abandoned, now she leaves, she has a bird in her beak so she needs to eat. At least he's tearing him at the nest. Finally, in 8,32 it is used for the nest.
8: 28 Parent on Branch
8,20 still has no parent's egg
It will be almost 3 / 4 hours, maybe the parent on a branch does not see the camera shot. Anyway, I have not seen the egg unattended for so long.
8,02 is still an abandoned egg
7: 54 egg for 10 minutes unattended
6: 41 female calls male, so it did not happen in 6: 42: 45 is leaving. The male arrives at the nest in 6: 44: 30
5.1. 5,55 is not happening yet, we just yawn!
4: 17 shot of a sleeping female close up
Time on camera 21: 00 female over an hour standing over an egg, not yet fully kneading, will probably be another egg. Maybe today or tomorrow.
But the nature around is beautiful, the sun shines and the blue lake at the back
4.1. here it will be interesting, the egg lies only on the sticks. I thought the nests had birds in the genes.
I think they have to sit down badly
Time on camera 6: 32 female calls male, apparently wants to be replaced.
I read Pety that Stormy had twice driven him out of his nest and once a female. But he likes it, he's still coming back, he's been seen with Mom Stormy by the lake today. I have not seen Stormy for a few days
I've also read Ivu, it's not welcome. Perhaps a male looks for a nest for the next nesting. The storms sometimes appear on the nest, but there is no longer a long time there.
A new nest of bald eagles near Bear Lake. The female incubates one egg that has taken 3. Nobody has used nodes for a long time. In autumn 2017, a couple of eagles began to appear here. Eagles do not know anything, they do not have rings or numbering. He is a young, inexperienced couple of eagles (they do not even have a well-groomed nesting bowl). Apparently these are their first nesting. They also do not have names, just Mr. and Mrs. BB.
Thanks for the new camera, let's see what awaits us here
