Helpful humans visited the Big Bear nest today! Thank you to the Institute for Wildlife Studies and our contracted camera/installation experts Dr. Peter Sharpe and Nate Melling for their work on this!
The nest is built ~145 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine tree. Nate spent a few hours doing the climb and working on the camera equipment. Jackie supervised from a nearby tree.
With the new upgraded batteries the Wide View Cam will be up 24/7
Was Jackie OK with humans being so close?
Dr. Sharpe explains that humans in the nest don’t really bother eagles. By nesting time they will have forgotten all about it.
It is important to minimize the disturbance during the sensitive nesting period, as it may affect their hormones. Forest Service usually closes the Big Bear eagle habitat on December 1st.

6:37 am the IR is off Bensweather.com Forecast Updated:
A trough of low pressure off the west coast will draw mid and upper-level moisture into the region through Thursday for mostly cloudy skies. Cooler and windy by afternoon with highs in the lower 60's, southwest winds 10-20mph. Low pressure will move into the area late Thursday night with showers developing, cold and windy with lows in the 30's, snow level above 8,000 feet. Expect a fairly soggy start to the day on Friday with rain showers likely, tapering off by noon. Continued cool and breezy with highs in the lower 50's Friday, clearing through the afternoon. Weak ridging will bring fair and slightly warmer weather over the weekend. Another unseasonably cold low is forecast to roll into our area late Monday or Tuesday bringing another round of unsettled weather. This will be a colder storm with the snow level falling as low as 6,000 feet, though accumulations at this time look relatively light. Additionally, temperatures will drop nearly 25-degrees below average early next week, with a pretty hard freeze possible Tuesday night as lows dip into the teens for the first time this season. It's pretty early in the season, but definitely time to start thinking about winterizing! Fair and warmer, more seasonal fall will will return later next week.
