The Eagles at Big Bear are tending new eggs.

[Babs2u]

Last year Jackie and Shadow, the eagles at Big Bear, were disappointed when no eggs hatched. This year there are three new eggs in the nest.
We hope for the best for the eagles and all their fans.

How fascinating! They are so beautiful, The scary winds make me sad for her. Will check the cam again later. Thanks for posting this!

Fingers and paws are crossed. Will you please keep this thread going?

It would be awesome to see hatchlings .. hoping for the best.

We had some nesting nearby some years ago. They displaced the blue herons for a few years, then the eagles moved elsewhere. After some time, the herons came back.

One thing I've always found striking is how rough and robust the nests of eagles and ospreys are. Despite snaggy appearances, they're serviceable and comfortable for the parents & the hatchlings. Strong-looking too.

Eagle pair Jolene and Boone lost their nest during Hurricane Helene.

Volunteers built a platform for them to rebuild and bless those eagles they did

I love all of the Eagle cams

Just checked the cam. Eagle in nest; sunny and calm.

Checked the cam, poor eagle soaking wet, laying low in the nest in the rain and wind, 8:35 Pacific time.

Windy again today. The last interesting event was when Shadow brought Jackie a big fish on Valentine's Day. Still hoping for an egg to hatch.

You are responding to an old post. Today Jackie is sheltering her 3 new babies in a snowy nest.

I was just watching them feed. I always worry that one of them won't get enough.

 

[Babs2u]

I just heard that one of the eaglets didn't make it. So glad they still have two little ones.

Oh no!

Both....Fear of the unknown and welcome to peacefulness forever.

The eaglets are getting big. I hadn't looked in in a while. I don't think they fly yet. I will check it out.

 

[AnneTeak]

they aren't wasting any time. guess they really "like" each other.

 

[Babs2u]

The comments at Big Bear are turned off now. Maybe I can catch them tomorrow and get the scoop.

Not sure what you mean.

One of my cherished memories is when I walked out on my deck and flying about 10 feet above was a bald eagle. He wasn't flapping his wings; he was slowly gliding over me. He was just one beautiful bird. Super cool.

The babies looked huge until mama returned and she is much bigger. They are dark colored and sometimes blend in with the twigs of the nest. One of them was flapping his/her wings but not going anywhere just yet.

I was told by a nature conservationist that the eaglets will flap their wings to exercise them and build muscle. At some point, they may start jumping a bit while flapping their wings in preparation for when they take their first flight. Won't that be something?
