Soaring Hope: Jackie and Shadow Welcome New Life in Big Bear

High above the towering pines of Big Bear Lake, a symbol of strength and freedom soars—the mighty bald eagle. Thanks to the dedication of Friends of Big Bear Valley, people worldwide can witness the awe-inspiring journey of these incredible birds through live-streamed footage, offering a front-row seat to the beauty of nature.

This season, the beloved bald eagle pair, Jackie and Shadow, have given the world something truly special—a growing family. As of March 7, 2025, they are nurturing two newly hatched eaglets, with a third egg showing signs of imminent hatching. The world is watching as these majestic birds care for their young.

A Day in the Life of Big Bear’s Eagles

Jackie and Shadow are more than just an eagle pair—they are dedicated parents, working tirelessly to protect and nurture their growing eaglet family. Every day, they follow a routine that showcases their incredible instincts and teamwork:

- Nest Maintenance: Eagles are meticulous about their home. Jackie and Shadow continuously adjust and reinforce their nest to ensure it remains a safe and comfortable space for their hatchlings.

- Brooding & Protection: With the eaglets so young, keeping them warm is a top priority. Jackie and Shadow take turns gently covering their young with their feathers, shielding them from the cold mountain air.

- Hunting & Feeding: Providing nourishment is a full-time job. The parents take turns hunting and bringing food back to the nest, carefully tearing it into small, digestible pieces for their eaglets.

- Vigilance & Defense: Despite their dominance in the skies, threats exist. The pair remains on high alert, guarding the nest against potential predators and disturbances.

These daily moments are streamed live, allowing viewers around the world to witness the dedication and beauty of eagle parenthood in real-time. You can follow their journey by tuning into the Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest Cam.
