Bald Eagles have Reversed Sexual Dimorphism: female is larger than male. Female is more dominant & largely determines nest dynamics: she is the brooder, he is the food provider/territory patroller.


Jackie & Shadow tend to stay in BB yearround. They hang out a lot after first being away, then do cool eagle stuff on cam 2. We often see them on perch trees and roost trees, and they sometimes even visit the nest. Jackie and Shadow stay in the general area, somewhere near the lake, yearround. Where are the eagles when not on the nest? https://bit.ly/4alBilp

Roost Tree 2 (RT2) was discovered in Oct 2023, but has likely been used by the eagles for a while. https://imgur.com/a/qGR1S3I

The nest is used for raising young. J&S use other trees for daytime perching and roosting. Why don't the eagles sleep in the nest at night? https://bit.ly/43n09CR

Jackie & Shadow have several favorite roost trees nearby. One of them is called The Roost Tree (RT) https://bit.ly/3F7Xh1l'>https://bit.ly/3F7Xh1l

Jackie & Shadow utilize their favorite Sentry Trees (some are snags) visible from Cam2: CS=Cactus Snag, SDS=Stick Depot Snag, LS=Lookout Snag, TP=Twin Pines, HOP=Hide Out Pine https://bit.ly/3F7Xh1l'>https://bit.ly/3F7Xh1l

Visits will become more frequent in the fall when nestorations begin. Jackie & Shadow Activity Log Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest FOBBV https://bit.ly/3LPCd1Z

Unlike dogs, cats and Turkey Vultures, eagles do not possess a very developed sense of smell. Prey and unhatched eggs likely do not emit much odor in this cool and arid climate.

Just like humans, eagles mate (copulate) year round, often outside the context of fertilization for bonding purposes or just because. The Whys, When's & How's of Mating https://bit.ly/3VikkQx

Eagles molt annually spring through fall, replacing the majority of feathers. The Basics of Bird Molts https://bit.ly/35Fwv2t

Bald eagles can be "Perch Potatoes". They spend much of their day conserving energy, observing their surroundings, or just people watching.
