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.
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.
For almost a full day, Kaydee kept returning to the Big Bear cameras without Shadow. Then at 9:06 Saturday morning, one familiar white head finally appeared again.
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.
