3:44 pm It's almost eerily quiet at the nest. Heard a Steller Jay in the distance. No sound of any eagles at all.
3:49 pm Shadow flew in with a fish. Shadow is eating. I'm hearing no calls at all from Simba.

Hi Maddy
3:56 pm Shadow is moving sticks. It's really windy at the nest. Shadow went up on the left branch.
4:01 pm Heard Shadow fly off. Looks like he left a small piece of fish in the nest.

Re: Big Bear CA 2018-2019
Okay Maddy. We'll wait and see who shows up for that piece of fish. As of 4:42 pm...the nest remains empty. Still no vocals from Simba.
Re: Big Bear CA 2018-2019
5:42 pm it's very, very windy, there are some calls not very far from the nest, but I'm not sure if it's Simba. The piece of fish is still in the nest.
5:47 pm zoomer is checking what is happening on the left side of the nest and around it
looks like a storm is coming
5:59 pm zoomer checked everything around, hasn't found anyone, back to the nest with a stormy weather

7:00 am There have been no visits to the nest since I have been watching this morning. I've heard no vocals from Simba or his parents. Here's hoping they will show up today with a meal followed by Simba.
I'm off to work soon. Have a great day everyone!

Re: Big Bear CA 2018-2019
Good morning, everyone!
I wanted to mention that while it's common in my experience for fledglings to come back to the nest for meals for a while, it's not unusual for solo fledglings to hang out with their parents and eat where their parents eat. Since the adults don't have a second eaglet on the nest to feed, they have no real reason to go to the nest. And Simba has spent a lot of time branching, so he doesn't need to lie down on the nest to sleep, the way an early-fledging eaglet might.
And we may see Simba again (hope so!) - but if we don't, the odds are good that he's doing just fine!
