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 and Kaydee began October 7 together with beautiful chortles before dawn. Then they flew to Lookout Snag, where they shared another sweet moment as a new Big Bear nesting season approaches.
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.
Kaydee brought another tiny stick to the Big Bear nest, but the sweetest moment came afterward when Shadow surprised her with a quick feather nibble in return.
Shadow appeared to make his first mating attempt with Kaydee at Big Bear, but the brief interaction may have been something else. Then Kaydee delivered a side kick that sent Shadow flying and turned the evening into one unforgettable encounter.
