Footage is from 3/15/26 - Jackie is on the nest incubating the eggs when she suddenly becomes very agitated and begins sounding alarm vocals to ward off an adult eagle that was flying too close to the nest. Shadow was nearby but not in cam view but you could hear his warning vocals join in with Jackie as she tracked the intruding eagle.

Two eagles are seen engaging in mid air (most likely Shadow and the other adult eagle as Jackie was still on the nest). Jackie will get up and fly off and join Shadow in chasing the intruder away. We see three eagles flying in a chase in the distance. Jackie & Shadow are the only known nesting bald eagles in Big Bear. The other eagles are visitors or floaters passing through the area.

Jackie will return to the nest and all is calm. Later at dusk, an immature eagle will flyby the nest going from right to left as Jackie vocalizes and tracks the young eagle. Shadow flies off Lookout Snag to go to his roosting spot for the night and Jackie will roll the eggs and settle in for the evening!
