Big Bear CA Eagle Cam - 2019-2020
Welcome to the Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest at Big Bear Lake near Fawnskin in the San Bernadino National Forest, inland from Los Angeles.
The cam is up and running with chat thanks to the Friends of Big Bear Valley.

The nest is about 110 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine tree that stands 120 tall.
History of the nest can be found here at the Friends of Big Bear Valley website.

What they don't have listed is the 2019 nesting season. Jackie and new mate Shadow had two beautiful eaglets, Simba and Cookie. Unfortunately we lost Cookie to hypothermia due to some horrible snow and rain storms on 5/27/2019. Simba fledged on July 23, 2019.
Shadow was a young eagle Dad with many dark feathers still at the beginning of the 2019 season. Here is a photo of that was posted by Ferenz on 12-26-2018. Pretty easy to tell which eagle Shadow is.
Here is current photo of Shadow and Jackie posted by Maddy on 12-29-2019.

Jackie flies in with a stick, places it then lies in the nest bowl, her typical routine as of late
She doesn't stay long and heads to the front perch, flying off shortly after.

Now that it's early January, we're officially on EGG-WATCH 2020! For most years that this eagle territory has been active, eggs have been laid during the first two weeks of January. Last year's egg-laying in March was the oddity. We're Egg-cited! Are you?
