Shadow and Kaydee began the day with chortles and a familiar little routine. Hours later, a red-tailed hawk came straight at Shadow twice.
After some time out of camera view had eagle watchers worried, Kaydee returned to Big Bear and quickly found Shadow. What happened next on Lookout Snag brought some much-needed smiles.
Shadow and Kaydee shared their most playful Big Bear nest visit yet, complete with beakies, feather nibbles, a duet and one stick Shadow simply had to put back.
Shadow settled into the Big Bear nest for more than an hour Tuesday evening, giving viewers a beautiful extended look at him. Then he left, and Kaydee showed up soon afterward.
Kaydee landed in the Big Bear nest and immediately went to work on the sticks. Shadow watched from nearby, but when she turned her attention to him, things got beaky.
