Shadow launched into a dramatic midair defense at the Big Bear eagle nest on March 16, 2026, flipping talons up when a smaller intruder rushed in from behind and targeted him in flight.
A quiet night at the Glen Hazel Bald Eagle nest took a startling turn when a chorus of coyotes suddenly broke through the darkness below the tree, jolting the sleeping mother eagle awake as she incubated her eggs. What began as a still and peaceful moment on the camera quickly shifted into one of those unforgettable wildlife scenes that feels almost unreal when it happens live.
On March 7, 2026, A powerful windstorm brought a tense moment to the Big Bear bald eagle nest, where Jackie and Shadow are currently incubating their eggs. The gusts were so strong that both eagles were blown off the eggs three different times while trying to protect and incubate them. Even as the tall pine tree swayed back and forth, Jackie and Shadow kept returning to the center of the nest bowl, doing everything they could to keep the eggs warm and safe. It was a moment that was both frightening and inspiring.
