On 2-18-2026, a hungry young eagle circled too close to Jackie and Shadow’s snowy nest high above Big Bear Lake. As Shadow guarded a freshly delivered coot in the winter cold, tension rose in the snow-covered branches.
On February 16, 2026, as a powerful winter storm pushed toward Big Bear and the wind began to build, Jackie made a move that instantly changed the mood in the nest. She lowered herself slowly into the bowl, pressing flat and still in a posture eagle watchers know well. Pancaking. The timing could not have felt more dramatic.
Jackie boldly tries to mate on the snowy Big Bear nest, leaning in with vocals and neck nibbles — but Shadow refuses. What happened seconds later could signal a major shift in the season.
Jackie has laid her second egg of the 2026 season at the Big Bear Eagle Nest, transforming the mood of the nest in a single sunset moment. Watch the powerful video as she stands to reveal both eggs and Shadow begins nest duty.
Shadow delivered fish and soft nesting fluff to Jackie as she guarded her egg on February 26. Now February 27 falls within the typical three-day window for a second egg — and nest watchers are on alert. Could Jackie lay again today?

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.
Just after sunrise on June 27, 2026, the forest around the nest was still wrapped in early-morning quiet when Shadow returned to the nest tree shortly after 6 a.m. Moments later, Shadow discovered the second egg following a soft but purposeful exchange with Jackie, their calls echoing through the branches. The quiet coordination between them signaled an important shift in the morning at the nest.
