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.
Kaydee had barely started eating her fish when a young bald eagle came after it. What happened next put Kaydee and Shadow’s growing teamwork on full display.
