Two juvenile bald eagles gathered on the ground near the U.S. Steel nest, where one fed among the brush. Moments after both flew away, a raccoon hurried in to claim the leftovers.
Shadow delivered separate fish to Sandy and Luna before the Big Bear siblings shared a heart-melting moment back at the nest.
Shadow kept the fish coming at Big Bear until Sandy and Luna had full crops, heavy eyelids and no choice but to sleep it off.
Shadow and a sub-adult eagle spent the night in the same Big Bear roost tree, but a second young eagle nearby made the evening even more surprising.
