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.
SWFL eaglet E26 fledged last night, but it was the next morning that made this SWFL Eagles update feel so…
Breakfast at the Kisatchie National Forest E-1 bald eagle nest looked ready to begin on March 9, 2026. Two bream fish had been brought in for the young eaglets, and for one brief, perfectly normal moment, everything seemed to be going according to plan. Then one floppy fish leapt from the Kisatchie nest like it had just remembered an appointment somewhere else.
As evening settled over Pittsburgh on March 10, 2026, viewers watching the Glen Hazel (Hays) Bald Eagle nest witnessed a moment that beautifully captured the quiet teamwork between these devoted eagle parents when Dad arrived with a fish delivery.
Morning light filled Big Bear Valley as Jackie returned to the nest with fresh grass and greeted Shadow with a tender beaky kiss. The quiet exchange set the tone for a special day at the Big Bear eagle nest—but before evening arrived, Shadow had one more heartwarming surprise waiting.
