How did you get the camera in the tree lol?
The camera was installed by a local nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley. They hired a biological tree-climber to install the camera. Someone who not only understands how to climb trees, but can also install cameras and microphones without damaging the tree or any of its habitats. These climbers use gear with ropes and pulleys known as climbing hand ascenders and arm strength to pull themselves up the 150 ft tree. They do not use their feet against the tree to climb (no spikes). They must also have both the federal and state permits required to handle bald eagles as a federally protected and state endangered species. The camera system was designed and installed by Dr. Peter Sharpe in 2015. Big Bear Eagle History: www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles/eagle-history/
@@CaliCondor I have seen people install cameras and climb trees here in youtube itself, these people are not much an intellectual themselves lol.
@@CaliCondorcool job
Cali condor did nothing. This is the Big Bear eagle cam. This isnt even a real live stream 😂😂😂
Poor birds can't even have privacy
Shadow must have been looking at the nest while he was on duty and decided there was a need for stick right there. I love the little nudges from Jackie when Shadow isn't quick to give up his duty. They are so dedicated to each other and their eggs, it is lovely to watch them. Can't believe how deep the snow is around the bowl. Thanks, Cali.
Its going to get much deeper, as this next store will have more snow ❄️
@@maryjane2170Heard about that not looking forward to that for them. It's going to be alot of snow 😢 Praying they can make it through it.
This coming week will be hard for them as there will be a lot of snow , hopefully it won't be like last year. When there was record snow fall and lake froze amd these 2 lost the eggs
@@fidelaromo6705 That was so heartbreaking 💔
❤
I love how gentle he is when lowering himself onto the eggs. And he rotates/rolls the eggs before settling down. So much love there...
I don't know about love. Maybe more evolutionary instincts
So lovely! ❤❤
Incredible how they know to clutch up their feet so their talons are less likely to pierce their eggs
@@wishywashy1153 That is most definitely not a term in biology. Emotions are also not exclusive to humans, not even remotely.
@@BruderRaziel What, evolutionary instincts? How is it not? The birds are being careful with their eggs because evolution taught them to. it's instinctual to be delicate with their babies. I am a biology major and learned all about it. Are you a scientist, too?
Shadow never wants to leave the eggs. He's such a sweetheart.
No. He's a man not an egg caretaker that's her job. He's gotta go get food
@@olivur_1459 my god buddy they are eagles not chickens they take turns, not all animals behave the same and sometimes male and females have different roles depending on the species. Look up the emperor penguin for example, where the male in on egg duty for all winter wich is like 95% of egg time lol. The female lays the egg and bye bye see you in spring 😂
@@olivur_1459Actually, the terms man and woman are exclusive to man. A male eagle is called a "tiercel" and a female eagle is called a "falcon" and they have equal gender roles, unlike man who likes to be sexist. They both take turns tohunt and nest to care for the young.
But aren't primates/human apes usually different from bird predators? @@rainbowfranklin
@@justaemptymall Never said they were the same?
"Honey I got this, you can go. I will--" "I love you now MOVE."
Они такие чудненькие, так прикольно делят обязанности
Amazing how they both want to brood their precious eggs. Prayers for a wonderful season. ❤❤❤🦅🦅
Shadow's tippy taps are so cute, doing his hardest to avoid standing on the eggs. Such majestic predictors, and yet so delicate and cautious when they need to be
How anyone could shoot one of these majestic creatures or hurt them in anyway is beyond me! I’m Native American so I think most people know where we stand ( on eagles 🦅 ) lol! 🇺🇸🦅💕
I love your comment and tippy taps is just adorable!!
@@trishabaran1521 How can anyone shoot/ kill/slaughter any animal. In this day and age, it’s always for no reason.
It's really incredible how delicate they are. One false move, and it's bad news. Daddy's Claws are much bigger than Mama's too.
A beloved and beautiful pair in a magical setting... I love them so much!! 😍
i felt the same ^^
I have to take this opportunity to say what a BEAUTIFUL picture every moment of this video is. I will never be able to visit Big Bear Lake, but it is absolutely beautiful. Jackie and Shadow have a wonderful place to raise their eagles. I am blessed to be able to watch. Thank you FOBBV CAM. Cali, thanks!🙂
That snow..!! It saddens me... I hope they don't get COLD...guess their plums keep them warm !.. I just Love them ❤❤
Shadow goes off to the lumbar yard for more siding ... that stick made all the difference. Awesome. 🤣🥰
I think he uses the sticks as an excuse to show up and convince Jackie to give him a turn.
Wonder how long each takes to incubate their eggs before swapping..
@lightningmcqueen181 I was wondering the same thing halfway through the video. Then I noticed at the bottom there's a time stamp so I went back and watched the times at which they swap and found that they switch anytime after 40 minutes and up to around 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Exactly 😂 so cute
It’s fascinating how in sync they are. I just love the bond they have. Thank you @calicondor for putting this together for us.
I would love to know what they say to each other - chortling back+forth. Jackie has to give slight beak kisses on Shadow's head or cheek to make him get out of the nest. :) He loved Jackie from when he first saw her, won her over and she grew calmer with him as time passed. They're a great, strong pair. 🩷💙 Thanks Cali👍 Stephanie
I was thinking the same thing. He came in like "lemme see my eggs." and she was like "where's my fish?"
then she takes off & he looks around for a sec like "she comin back?" and then heads over to pancake. ❤
4:31 she's like "move." & he's like "I'm taking care of my future chirren." she goes "move." *he immediately gets up*
I think she’s telling him to wipe his feet . lol! Love 💕 watching them !
I'm always glad to see Jackie on the eggs in this kind of a situation. She's bigger, better coverage. Keep them warm mama.
Yes, God!
Shadow’s perch is cool! Lovely video Cali Condor. Thank you for the updates. Prayers for Jackie & Shadow and the triplets. ❤🦅🦅🥚🥚🥚
I was just thinking that! It's the perfect perch.
Last year was my first year to watch them and I had forgot how invested and emotional I get!
Me too. In the merchandise/ shop,there is a picture story book on Jackie & Shadow for $35.00. I am going to have to purchase this book. The merchandise/ store is on fobby cam I think. I fell in love last year, and I grown to love them even more.❤
Me too! Discovered them January '23. I love them!
My kids and I started watching last year, too. We were so heartbroken 💔 when they didn't hatch. I'm praying 🙏 this year the all hatch
Last year was my first watching them as well. Kept watching for months hoping they would try again. Just lots of mating and "nestoration". Lol
Their sweet "g'morning" chortles bring me close to tears. They're such marvelous living beings!
Jackie and Shadow are so sweet 😍😊. I love to hear the vocals so much 📢🎶. Cali, thank's for sharing 💕.
I am amazed at the level of commitment and dedication these two birds have for each other and their offspring. They are beautiful creatures.
I know it. I found myself thinking how much I wish my ex partner could have been as considerate and nurturing as this Daddy birdie. I love stuff like this and nature so much. It always restores my faith in something greater. As advanced as humans are and all we are capable of, it's such a shame that we can't create moments as pure as this more often.
It is so fascinating watching them and their partnership and dedication. I also like how they use their beaks as leverage to wiggle onto the eggs. Thanks for keeping us updated. ❤😊
My favorite winter pastime is watching these wonders of nature on their nest~ I adore these two and pray for all three eggs to make it this year. Very exciting clutch! BrAVO Jackie and Shadow~ 💟❣💕💛💚💙🦅🦅🦅
I love the wee Shadow Shimmie when he gets down on the eggs😊
You can really see the difference in their sizes. Jackie covers the entire bowl, and Shadow kind of sinks into it.
Shadow's building an addition to the nest to accommodate the possibility of 3 little eaglettes. ❤
You're right. Good golly, he's going to build a 2nd story with those big branches!😂
He needs to hurry up and build a wind break on that south side.
@@karenc2285 He's still waiting for the permits
They’re settling I to a nice routine. I love Shadow and his sticks. The view from camera 2 is gorgeous with all that snow!
Shadow did a brief Santa Claus impersonation with the snow on his beak. Jackie never lets him brood for long.. poor guy. His stick looked like a crow bar. I was waiting for him to pry Jackie off the nest.
He has done that before😂 Witness is the January picture on their 2024 Calendar…that had to be the funniest thing I ever saw😂😂😂
@@judyjenkins5034 Oh, I need to get a calendar. 🙂
I wish I spoke Eagle.
You and me both! 😁
I've never seen this deep of snow. Big Bear is going to get snow in the next 5 days, storm arriving on Sunday. Prayers sent for Jackie and Shadow and the Triplets.
Guess you weren't following this cam last winter.... 8' of snow in Big Bear in a matter of days. This is my first visit here since then....Surprised to see snow...and happy. Here's in Washington state, the snow levels peaked at close to 10,000'.... Mt. Baker has a mere 45" of snow left. By mid March of 1999, their snow pack peaked at 340". That was the world record snowfall--1140 inches! It was an amazing year to ski!!
@@rogerbarnett8412 This is a weird year to be sure - no snow on the ground in Minnesota and temps around 40F/9C. The south end of the Mississippi River will be in a world of hurt this summer if we don't get snow although I love being able to walk without ice. Sure miss living in WA. My friend in Crestline (just down the mtn from Big Bear) got 8 feet of snow in 8 days in 2023. Agree that it is a beautiful view of the lake valley from the nest!
@@petgranny194 Cliimate change is surely a thing...Just a few days ago, I read that the extremer extremes are hitting Alaska.... Both Anchorage and Juneau are buried.. and some of the lowest temps in years... And snow levels in the Sierras have dropped way down, while up to 6 feet of snow may be coming down there..
@@rogerbarnett8412I was about to say the same , last year people couldn't get out of their house for about a week or two , right there was like 10 feet of snow
@@fidelaromo6705 And Mammoth... it, of course, got way more snow than BB, so many buildings suffered roof damage.
Beautiful. My wife & i & our lil daughter send love to Jackie & Shadow. From our tent, Palestine.
Hopefully you live
not sure if youre serious (just because i see so many troll comments from pro-isnotreal people) but assuming you are serious, i hope you and your family and 🍉 as a whole survive and thrive. 🍉 will be free
Be safe, from Navajo land, we understand !!
Man I love this! An hour, a couple of hours, around 3 hours. This is teamwork! Wonderful edits, TYSM!!
THOSE STICK OBESSIONS... OCD, for all the right reason's ❤
❤ Cali, you never disappoint!
Jackie love's her eggs 🥚🥚🥚. Shadow brings in that stick and Jackie is wondering why. I really love it when Jackie wants to sit on the eggs and prompts Shadow to move off of them. Prayers for Eaglets. 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤❤🥚 🥚 🥚 🦅 🦅
Almost like they never give the eggs a chance to keep warm , though , because they keep getting up and switching... Who am I to say anything though it's not me keeping those eggs warm....
Omg! Keep those eggs warm. ❤
Im beyond words.❤
The 'Stickman' must have noticed while incubating that more crib rails are gonna be needed since there are 3 eggs! Love Jackie and Shadow, they are a match made in heaven! Thanx Cali keeping us up on the Bald Eagles of Big Bear! Keeping them in my prayers that these storms on by. All it'll take is some wind!
I love how the male eagle is always doing maintenance on the home.
When mama comes back she tells papa to leave, it’s her time with her babies. ❤
When you are a guy, a stick meister, you have some time to take in where there are dangerous openings that have to be addressed. And so, one stick at a time he works patiently.
They are incredibly beautiful, aren't they? Fierce-looking, but caring ... and what a magnificent view to the background ... This is really inspiring. Best wishes from Germany 🙂.
I love hearing them. I feel like I know what they are saying🤗🙂
I saw an immature bald eagle and parent feeding on deer carcass every day this week. Gorgeous . Got some great pics too. Amazing how gently they walk around the eggs.
If only humans were as dedicated to one another in relationships wow :) these 🦅 mates for life :) humans can take notes 📝 this is how you take care of your love ones we are doing everything wrong 😂
Unfortunately, humans take way too many things as a form of entertainment than should be, and way too many things are taken as a symbol for something else when they shouldn’t. We’re too neurotic of a species; I hate it. 😅
Shadow places his talons ever so carefully around his little babies!💖
Hopefully they can keep it up, then figure out how to raise 3 eaglets at the same time.
First time seeing this……we live on the river in Washington State. As a Native American I find feathers and bead them, we also use them in the smoke house. They are a symbol of strength and unity. Thank you for posting such an amazing video. ✌🏽
Never seen anything in my lifetime like this, beautiful
I can’t believe how gentle these large bird are ❤. Incredible
What a privilege to see these amazing creatures up close. I love it. 🩷 🦅 Thank you !!!
Just stumbled upon this and so glad I did ! How beautiful ❤ the setting the sounds the dedication... all of it. Just fascinating !!! 🦅
I wish I could give them a blanket❤❤❤
Shadow got some lumber to add on a garage so he has somewhere to nap.
What a devoted pair. I was just thinking “there’s that one spot on the outside that was missing a stick” and here comes Shadow with just the “right”stick! What a caring father. I just found this channel and will be following their progress toward parenthood. Thanks so much for the opportunity to witness their journey. ❤️🐈
Three eggs? They sure are making up for last season, if they all hatch . Great piece!
Too bad people cannot be as dedicated to each other as theis two,Jackie and Shadow (PRAISE GOD)!
I think Shadow may be realizing the nest needs to be a bit bigger if all 3 eggs hatch. 😬
It's hilarious how Shadow gets stubborn about getting off his eggs and she nudges him off. It's like he brings a stick as a gift lol
Looks to me like he gets off the eggs pretty quickly. She comes back and yells at him immediately. He's basically like " lady you left. I sat on the egg to keep it warm and then you came back. I let you sit on the egg and then you leave again. And every time you come back , you yell at me like i'm doing the wrong thing." Typical marriage , the guy can't win even when he's feeling everything he possibly can, he can't win....he's always wrong...😂
He’s supposed to bring flowers when he comes home.
Sitting here sipping ☕️ and watching with my cat & dogs. Cat and I are loving it, dogs could care less 😂 Thanks for sharing❣️We really enjoy the up close and personal with the 🦅. So beautiful and fascinating 😍 Blessings ✨ from 🇨🇦💋💖🦋
My sweet kitty Figgy is on my lap watching as well❤
These 2 guys are called Freedom & Democracy 🦅🦅🦅🦅
While I have never been to Big Bear, I *have* hiked in the hills of Napa. I vividly recall hiking up into an area where California Turkey Vultures nested (in the winter and spring) and being amazed at the sheer size and beauty of these magnificent birds. Eagles have the same beauty and majesty. Since gathering their feathers is against the law, I never touched the fallen feathers of the vultures, only to gaze in amazement at the sheer SIZE of them! Yes, I was so VERY tempted! But I know better! Also, when I was in the area was in August, far past the breeding/laying/raising seasons of the birds. I can only imagine the beauty of the area these two are in! Thank you USFS and FOBBV for your care and dedication to these wonderful eagles!
I have never understood why gathering feathers is illegal. We used to have a huge turkey buzzard flock living in our neighborhood, there were always feathers around. I loved when the buzzards came to my yard, mostly looking to eat the cat food we put out for the ferals. I’ve also seen them play with balls left in the yard by the kids. Don’t know why they get so much hate, I like buzzards.
I also love TVs. :) The reason gathering their feathers, or any feathers of endangered birds, or parts of animals that are endangered is because if one person sees another w9ith something like an eagle feather, or wolf tooth or bear claw, they might want one as well. THAT creates a "market" and the unscrupulous folks WILL break laws to obtain and sell feathers, paws, claws, hides, horns, teeth, scales etc. Lok at what has happened to the elephant and rhino populations! EVEN something so harmless as gathering up fallen feathers still creates a demand for them. Better not to do it at all.
Impresionantes y hermosas aves, muy tierno que ambos cuiden de los huevos ❤😇
beautiful
amazing! thank you for sharing
Amazing! how Intelligent these beautiful creatures are,.. thank you,!.. for sharing this beautiful video
I learned about Jackie and Shadow last year during their nesting season. I fell in absolute love with them then. Yes it was very sad that they did not bring the eggs too term. From this video alone it looks like Shadow has really stepped up as far as staying on the nest. I really really appreciate you posting this for the people. Watching these two majestic eagles is one of the highlights of my day. They hit my very buried happy spot. Today I shed tears as I watched these two beautiful creatures. Thank you so much❤
Shadow shows up. How are eggs doing. Jackie beautiful. Need a little rest. Ok. ❤❤
WOW! So delicate. I love the little shimmy to settle in 😊. If I ever get a second chance at life, I wanna come back as one of these. ❤
I hope all works well for Jackie and shadow last time the eggs didn't hatch praying this time they do.such beautiful birds who care for each other.so sweet.
Absolutely beautiful. I see eagles like this everyday in British Columbia. Thankyou for your special video❤️
I could just sit and watch these two all day long! They're so beautiful and impressive!
Mother Nature at its finest!!!!❤😊
This is so Amazing thank you for Sharing❤❤❤🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖️🏆
Fascinating! Excellent footage of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Thank you!
What a perfect little nest 🪹 bowl little igloo 😊 it really is beautiful in big bear . Im getting tired of this weather already😕 bless this nest and hoping for a beautiful outcome with our special couple!!😊 this season ! Thanks cali for this beautiful coverge ❤🦅🦅♥️🙏
Gosh they are just so gorgeous.
Jackie's like, "Come on honey...we go through this every time..." 🤍🤎💛
Lol, I was thinking the same thing 😂
Yeah , because she keeps leaving she leaves at random times he jumps on the eggs because he's doing his duty and she comes back and yells at him like he's doing the wrong thing...lol
I so love Shadows snonks♥
I really home these two amazing eagle's have all 3 hatch this year. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow...blown away by the beauty of this whole scene...
Very cool! Crazy how they’re able to stay warm. & they’re probably preferable to that weather. The sound quality on that camera is AMAZING too we could hear her wings flapping from a considerable distance. I love the conversations their having w each other. Shadow is quite the little nester/home decorator
Hello fantastic Cali Condor 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Bless these Eagles Jackie and Shadow. Bless there family❤❤❤
They're fantastic parents and an inspiring couple 💜
I knew the snow would hit about the time Jackie has eggs because every year they get hammered with cold weather! Congratulations to Jackie and Shadow😁
❤They are so BEAUTIFUL!❤❤true love!❤
Thank you for this. Fascinating to watch.
How beautiful this is! ❤
Shadow: hey babe, went to Forrest Depot and bought got us a gret stick Jackie: Great Babe, but we didn't need it. 😅
WE NEED FOOD 🦅
I think they actually need that stick though🤔. A nest builders with the biggest and most secure nest has more success of raising their young and prevent their young from accidentally fall and die. Papa eagle was preparing for the upcoming babies
Honestly the sharing of keeping their babies eggs warm is beyond wonderful ❤❤
What impressive images! Congratulations! From: Salvador, Bahia, 🇧🇷
Amazing to watch! Thank you!
They're beautiful animals, I could watch them all day. Thank you for sharing.
The best dedicated, most beautiful couple in nature.
Beautiful. Those birds can teach humans a lot about two parent households.
Outstanding Incredible footage.
Just take a look at this splendid example of our God's glorious creation, absolutely beautiful and awe inspiring. Praise the Lord in Jusus' precious name...!!!
This video has made my day. Thank you, thank you.
This is so beautiful to watch. Their relationship and dedication are precious. Love the vocals and you can pretty well tell what they are saying to each other. Love his tippitoeing around the eggs and how she gently moves him off the eggs.
Love listening to these two talking to each other
Aww they'res two Egglets. She's such a good mama. ❤

Now this what you call true love and dedication. Thank you for the awesome video. Precious 👍❤️
