I wasn't aware until seeing your post...but will follow now.

Do you know the general location of the nest?

Make this thread a sticky so it will be easy to find.

I believe it is somewhere in North California, the name "Big Bear" tells you the location. Also if you go on Facebook, and put in Big Bear you can join and follow that way also.

I've been watching the eagles this year (and many times over recent years). Hopefully they will have better luck this year than they did last year.

The nest is along Big Bear Lake, which is east of Los Angeles in southern California.
The exact nest location is within this green circle.

Just up the hill from San Bernardino. The lake is stocked with Kokanee salmon, trout, catfish, carp and bass, so lots of food. Then there’s ducks for a change of pace.

sometimes on the video of them I can hear car motors must have some roadway close enough.

That nest is impressive...some big sticks in there.

believe if you youtube you can find a pic of a typical eagle nest next to an adult body for size.

The tree is on a wide peninsula and a road runs behind it. The tree is way out toward the tip. There are fences and signs and BIG fines (and felony jail time) for disturbing the eagles.

awesome. we need more respect for the homes of animals /birds today.

@cpp gardener from your description of fences etc, gathering there are more than one nest?

there is a spot about 30 min drive from me, also gated off. Along the gate are you will find many photographers with those long lenses sitting waiting. Seems like it is a meet up area also. they bring picnic etc. seem to know each other. All with intent of focusing on an area island. I did go there one day, saw nothing.

The Conowingo Dam is One of the Best Spots in the U.S. for Seeing Bald Eagles

From November through January, eagle-eyed birdwatchers arrive from far-flung destinations to view hundreds of the birds that have migrated from New York and Canada.

No, just the one nest. Bald Eagles are only somewhat social in the Winter or on Salmon streams. Otherwise they are very fierce.

Seeing reports that one chick died in snowstorm.
