After nearly two weeks away from the nest cameras, Shadow and Kaydee returned to Big Bear. But their homecoming took a dramatic turn when another eagle approached the nest tree, sending all three eagles into a tense aerial encounter.
A mystery eagle at Big Bear spent 36 minutes making itself comfortable at Shadow’s nest, then returned for another visit. With Shadow and Kaydee nowhere in sight, who is this unfamiliar eagle, and what could its repeated visits mean?
Shadow appeared to be keeping a close eye on Kaydee from the Big Bear nest. Then she took off from Twin Pines, and his next move made the moment even sweeter.
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.
Kaydee came to the Big Bear nest with sticks on her mind. After winning a battle with one stubborn branch, she found Shadow and made an even bolder move.
