12-29-2022 Blast From The Past
As Jackie and Shadow continue their summer staycation, we are bracing for a heatwave that will be coming to our area by the end this week. Unlike eagle pairs that live in other locations, Jackie and Shadow stick around their home base in summer, lounging in various spots around the lake. Big Bear has a mild alpine climate, so even though the daytime temperatures might sneak up into the 90s through the week, the nighttimes will still bring a nice reprieve down into the 50s. And, of course, the beautiful surrounding forest will provide plenty of shade in tall trees for the eagles.
We hope this little blast-from-the-past video will help you stay cool and carry on waiting patiently for Jackie and Shadow to visit the nest on occasion. There is nothing more satisfying than watching snow melt on a hot day and seeing our beloved eagles doing what they do best - worrying sticks, arguing about furniture placement and planting beaky kisses on each other.
Nestorations are just around the corner and we can’t wait to see what this fall brings for Jackie and Shadow! Meanwhile, we will keep catching glimpses of them on their favorite snags with the help of the new Wide View camera.
