Shadow guards an empty Big Bear nest while a sub-adult eagle settles into Jackie’s favorite perch and Sandy and Luna remain away from the nest overnight.
An adult bald eagle was found struggling in Big Bear Lake before a trained rescue team reached the bird after dark. Dramatic footage follows the eagle from the water to a boat, a transport crate, and specialized rehabilitation care.
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.
Relief has finally come for bird watchers as the missing Decorah Eagle DH3 was found and rescued on July 14. After disappearing from the nest cameras for several anxious days, the fledgling is now at SOAR receiving professional care for a right wing issue.
Shadow delivered separate fish to Sandy and Luna before the Big Bear siblings shared a heart-melting moment back at the nest.
