Shadow’s stick trick got Jackie off the eggs, but the mood at the Big Bear nest changed fast. Ravens returned, tension built in the nest tree, and Jackie and Shadow snapped back into defense mode.
On March 14, 2026, Shadow flew toward the Big Bear eagle nest carrying a fish for Jackie, but he was not alone. A young eagle chased him to the Big Bear nest in a tense moment captured here, turning what should have been a simple food delivery into another noisy standoff above the nest. For a moment, the scene shifted from routine care to active defense as Jackie and Shadow reacted instantly to the bird on his tail.
On the night of March 15, 2026, Fiona’s visit to the Big Bear eagle nest turned an otherwise peaceful scene into an evening surprise. Jackie had been sleeping over her eggs when faint movement in the nest tree caught her attention. Within seconds, she woke to find Fiona, the resident flying squirrel, suddenly right in front of her in the dark.
Shadow launched into a dramatic midair defense at the Big Bear eagle nest on March 16, 2026, flipping talons up when a smaller intruder rushed in from behind and targeted him in flight.

Sandy the eaglet stunned Big Bear eagle cam viewers on June 10, 2026, after trying to swallow Jackie’s fish delivery whole. What started as a bold grab quickly turned into a surprising sibling lesson as Luna stayed close, waited for an opening, and eventually claimed a share of the meal.
Sandy’s first flight at Big Bear did not go as planned. After Luna’s porch bump, Sandy slipped below the nest, freed herself, and flew.
Sandy has been found near Luna after Big Bear’s dramatic fledge weekend, and Jackie and Shadow are already adapting to feed their young eagles in new places.
