The eagles typically lay eggs in late January. Incubation, hatching, and early chick rearing run through late winter and early spring.
Over the years, Jackie and Shadow have become fan favorites as viewers watch them overcome storms, snow, heat, and the occasional raven or intruding eagle. Their nest sits more than a mile above sea level in the San Bernardino Mountains. Here, changing weather at Big Bear Lake can bring bright sunshine one day and heavy snow the next. That dramatic setting makes every visit to the Big Bear Eagle cam a little different. You may see calm sunrise lake views or intense wind and snow events that test the nest.

Use the wide-angle view to watch the surrounding forest and weather over Big Bear Lake. Alternatively, switch to the nest view for a close-up look at Jackie and Shadow on the bald eagle nest. Viewers often zoom in to see egg turning, feeding, and wing exercises from growing eaglets. You can also catch nighttime visits under infrared lights. Whether you drop in for a quick check or follow the pair through the nesting season, the Big Bear Eagle cams offer a front-row seat to the lives of Jackie and Shadow in all four seasons.

Hopefully in another month we will see an egg or two..would not be the first time..
I sure hope so.
Me too!!💘
the egg is pretty much demolished at this point
Yes, I just saw that. Who ever is on the nest right now, I saw them eat it..so sad. Hoping another cache on the way!!!
Is this the second egg you are talking about Deb? So both eggs are now gone?
Yes both are gone
😭. Do we know if the crow damaged the second egg?
yes, it actually damaged that egg first then went for the other one and pulled it out of there
Thanks Deb.
if you watch the video HNF put on the top of this page under the live steam (also where she puts videos on the home page) you can see at 15:33 where the raven breaks open that egg and eats al little of it, then it goes to the other egg breaks it and pulls it out of the nest to feed on it Raven Eats Big Bear Eagle Eggs While Jackie and Shadow Are Away
It is a shame the raven had to break both eggs and not eat much of either! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the FL nest be left unattended. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Gwen.
At 12:34 am she rolled the egg and made a circle all around the nest and then settled down and went back to sleep tucked in..
shes laying on egg checked it rolled it over..hopefully still good
Only time will tell’’’
@HNF, one egg eaten by a raven, 15:33 mark.
Second egg in left hard to tell if the raven was able to puncture it through or not, hard to tell..
Can’t edit. Sad!
if you watch at 15:36/37 it looks like it is eating it but yeah it’s hard to tell
Agreed!
yes it did that egg fitst
she left the nest near 11:59 hadn’t been back raven pecking at eggs 15:32 pecked through both eggs wish i coulkd have scared it away
I heard about this on KNF chat .. couldn’t believe it came back to watch and it looks like the Raven did puncture the egg she’s laying on because once it hit it a few times it was licking its beak like and then did it again, and I saw like a string of saliva if you call it that it was licking.. I pray that she has another egg 🥚 on the way 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, TR! Nice to see you. Awful situation!
You toML❤️ hopefully she has another egg like last year 🙏🙏🙏
here it is eating the contents of the egg
if you watch at 15:37 it looks like it got both eggs
This is so sad. They have been through this before 2-3 years ago. Jackie should be smarter than that.
Exactly,I remember that time. , didn’t she then 1 or 2 eggs later
Gwen, it was 2021 the first cache of eggs, both eaten by the ravens. Then she laid a second cache, and those eggs didn’t make it. I’m sorry after that I don’t have any records as my husband was ill and I didn’t keep any records.
Raven only got one of the eggs. At least we’ll have one baby if she doesn’t go gallivanting again. Gone way too long!
I hope so too…
