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.
E26 shocked viewers at the Southwest Florida Eagle nest by swallowing a fish nearly whole after an intense struggle with the slippery catch. Just moments earlier, M15 had delivered three live fish within minutes, turning the nest into a remarkable feeding frenzy.
High above the nest tree, E26 suddenly lifted into the wind, hovering as Dad M15 watched from below. For a moment, the young eagle seemed to float above the branches before drifting back down toward the nest. But the most unexpected moment of the day was still to come.
On March 7, 2026, A powerful windstorm brought a tense moment to the Big Bear bald eagle nest, where Jackie and Shadow are currently incubating their eggs. The gusts were so strong that both eagles were blown off the eggs three different times while trying to protect and incubate them. Even as the tall pine tree swayed back and forth, Jackie and Shadow kept returning to the center of the nest bowl, doing everything they could to keep the eggs warm and safe. It was a moment that was both frightening and inspiring.
On March 2, 2026, The morning started the way strong eagle mornings often do, with Decorah Dad arriving home carrying breakfast. Decorah’s Hatchery Dad swept into the nest with a fresh fish clutched in his talons. Below him, Mom remained settled low in the nest bowl, carefully incubating their two eggs. The late winter sun lit the nest in soft gold, and everything about the moment felt calm and steady.
