Something about the air over Big Bear feels more crowded right now, and viewers can see it every time Jackie…
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.
On March 14, 2026, Shadow flew toward the Big Bear eagle nest carrying a fish for Jackie, but he was not alone. A young eagle chased him to the Big Bear nest in a tense moment captured here, turning what should have been a simple food delivery into another noisy standoff above the nest. For a moment, the scene shifted from routine care to active defense as Jackie and Shadow reacted instantly to the bird on his tail.
After losing her first clutch, Jackie laid the first egg of her second clutch on February 24, 2026, bringing renewed hope to the Big Bear eagle nest.
