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.

10,25 Jackie brought breakfast to the pet
25.7. Simba scrambled back to the nest as Shadow brought the torso of the fish
23.7.2019 6: 19: 08 Simba's first flight !!!!!
I happened to see the first flight. It is always an event and beauty :-). I watch this nest briefly, it's beautiful here. However, when I read what had happened here and saw with my own eyes ………… 🙁 L.
19.7. food supply works great here, the first fish delivered by daddy in 5: 57. Simba with the last bite in 6: 20 dances triumphantly throughout the nest. From time to time, he places a bite and tries to attack him. He shows Dad what a hunter is already. Shadow thought for a moment that Simba had left him the last bite, so he tried to get it, but Simba immediately began to defend his prey. Beautiful shots on Bear Lake.
17.7. Simba is working hard on the wings. Shadow brought the first fish only in 16,16, apparently parents want to force the offspring to the first flight, somehow he does not want
9.7. Time on camera 11:15 Simba perches on a branch above the nest - close-ups
Time on 5.7. 20: 22 Earthquake in Big Bear Area
I also read Pete, it was supposed to be twice, the second stronger. And Simba was pretty scared
15,24 Shadow arrives with a large fish at the far edge of the nest, Simba whistling with joy, but still on the opposite side of the nest. Shadow jumps with the fish up to the offspring and slides the fish under it so that he doesn't have to strain too much. I can see why, Jackie brought the fish to the nest an hour earlier. Very beautiful shots….
10,03 Simba hides under the dad in front of the sun, Shadow gently nicks it. Jackie arrives at 10,17 with a big fish, and the bouncing Shadow threw the ball on his back
I messed it up a bit…. But it doesn't change the fact that I'm very sorry for how it turned out… .. 😔
The short record was that Simba spread the dead eagle's wing. She wanted to teach him to fly… .. They write that she is looking at him as if to say, "Try again" Sad ".
Today at 9.11 the mother moves the dead cub… ..
Something strange happened in the nest, one eagle doesn't respond at all. It doesn't look good.
Unfortunately, one eagle probably died of Cookie, probably to get cold nutí
Unfortunately, I saw his last moments of life. I am so sorry.
Jesus is a horror, it is repeated last year. 8,07 still has a raised header, I didn't want to see that. It is true that yesterday he did not react at all during feeding. I don't want to say anything, but he's been bad since the ringing. And I thought that at least everything would be fine here, I'm bulging again…
Video recording of taking and returning eagles after ringing to the nest.

Great video, I was really looking forward to it. Thanks Péťo. I think the older columbine did it better than the younger one. He even fought, "
Ringing 24.5.
Jim Campbell-Spickler and Dr. Peter Bloom and the US Forest Service worked together to ring Cookie and Simba. Jim Campbell-Spickler climbed the nest - He's a climbing expert as well as a wildlife biologist. They decided to turn off the camera for the time of ringing, for safety reasons it ringed on the ground. Identification purple rings on the left leg - ZJ1 Cookie ZR1 Simba, a silver federal identification ring is located on the right leg. Both eagles are male !!
So in BB the eagles are already circled and somehow we probably missed it. It is probably cut out on the record, at 11,34 cut and immediately it is 14,55 and the eagles have rings. I read somewhere that they are both boys, so Stormy already has two brothers, that's great…
23.5. 10: 19: 30 Shadow brought fish
7,10 arrives Shadow on rotation, the nest is all snowy and food is nowhere. Kulíšci snuggles together in a nesting bowl, Shadow tries to warm them up at least a bit
The snow wasn't here last May. Compared to last year, the female eggs fell two months later. In 2018 it was 3. and 6. January, 6 this year. and 9. March. The chicks turned out to be 2018 11. and 12. February (one in March died of hypothermia) and 26.4. Stormy fell from the nest, this year turned out to be 12 and 14 April.
Again, 16,00 is blurring. Kulíšci trying to hide under the male, but they are already big, so at least the heads are hidden
20.5. 01 Time: 05 Again Snowy Female Heats Eagles
Here the weather is really cruel. There was strong wind and snow all night. 8,50 female feeds, all are soaking wet. 8,52 is leaving Jackie, but 8,59 is coming back, Shadow apparently nowhere, the shakes are shivering cold. Jackie leaves several times, Shadow appeared in 10,18
15,37 Shadow arrives with another fish, they already have supplies on the nest. Jackie tries to feed again, but the smaller eagle still refuses food
16.5 13: 37: 50 Jackie Delivers Prey, Drenched Shadow Goes Away, Stop Raining, But Heavy Wind Blows
The weather reminds me of last year's unlucky year. Perhaps they are already big enough and don't freeze what you mean, Peter. You can see that they are a lot crippled. When Shadow got up from his nest, he couldn't take one leg out until one of the bullets was holding him firmly on that leg. Jackie tried to feed, but her offspring didn't even want to eat. It's good that Jackie is dry, perhaps warming up the plovers
Last year, Ivu was bigger when Ivy was cold and he died, he had black feathers. 18: 05 both ate, in 19: 05 gets Simba, who didn't eat much during the day. Perhaps everything will be fine.
I also hope Péťo, it was very sad last year
It's raining, the wind is blowing, the mother is soaked to the bone. So I wonder where the other parent is to help warm up… ..
15.5. 9: 15: 25 Shadow delivers big gutted fish
17,25 falls rain with hail. The female is all soaked, but the offspring managed to cram under her, perhaps not as cold as last year, they are already bigger
3.5. 9: 13: 10 Simba settled on a twig 🙂
2.5. 8,40 feeding dragonflies
15,23 Shadow arrives with a large branch. The female is runny and swears before landing on the nest. She probably already knew what was waiting for her, she knew him well. Shadow immediately after landing threw a branch of Jackie on his head…
