6-24-2023 Outdoor Adventure Days: Eagle Talk With Sandy Steers

- Both Jackie and Shadow showed up for fans at our Outdoor Adventure Days event!
Shortly after Saturday’s activities got under way, Shadow flew into the nest. He immediately shouted at all the nearby ravens, possibly showing off for the fans watching him through the spotting scope from ½ mile away across the bay. Shadow spent 40 minutes in the nest, arranging a stick or two, keeping a sharp eye on those ravens and giving a bunch of fans a chance for a live scope view of him.
A short way up the road, the Outdoor Adventure Days vendor information booths were drawing a crowd-a few hundred event participants were there registering for activities, buying Jackie and Shadow t-shirts and souvenirs, and visiting booths to chat, learn and create. In between the booths, people checked out their own wingspan compared to Jackie’s-no one came close.
One group of birders headed to the nearby trail to spot local birds, some headed off to kayaking, hikes, forest yoga, wildflower walks and boating adventures, while others gathered for the annual Jackie and Shadow fan party. At the party, everyone enjoyed the beautiful Native American dances of Eric Runningpath and his son, Braden. (Here is the video: • 6-24-2023 Outdoor Adve... ). Then I gave a talk on the background of Jackie and Shadow and the nest camera, and everyone got a chance to ask their questions about our widely loved bald eagle pair.
On an early evening Eagle Spotting and Lake Birding tour, several FOBBV team members were thrilled to spot Jackie hanging out on a snag near the lake shore! Then they enjoyed beautiful lake scenery and other birds-including a common loon, a Western or Clark’s grebe, a grebe in its lake top nest, a flying great blue heron and
historic Treasure Island.
Lots of people enjoyed a historic tour of the lake on the Big Bear Queen. And as a proper close to the day, Shadow visited the nest shortly before roost time to make sure everything was still in order.

Thank you. This was a great informative talk. !!
Sandy you are very knowledgeable, thanks for all you do 👏!!!
I am so thankful that this was taped. I watched the tape last year as well and was hoping to hear about the eggs and this season from Sandy. Sandy you are a wonderful storyteller and writer. I love the live cam and the chat, but your storytelling in fb is just magical. Thank you for loving Jackie and Shadow and BBV. We are blessed that you share your love with us. So we can in turn love Jackie and Shadow. 🦅❤️🦅
I've been watching falcon cams for over 30 years (in Northern California) but thanks to SKHideaways, I became an eagle junkie this year (2024). Although sadly none of the three eggs hatched (what a tough winter it was!) I completely fell in love with Jackie and Shadow. I so much enjoyed this video, Sandy, and have learned so much about eagles from your updates during the season. Looking forward to the 2025 season. Thank you Sandy, FOBBV and all those involved with bringing us viewers these wonderful raptors.
Very great channel and truly eagles are very intelligent birds the Most HIGH created.
Sandy, thanks for such a beautiful insight on this nest and our beloved Jackie and Shadow. I’ve been watching them since 2019. I fell in love with them and Cookie, Simba and Spirit. The sad parts are so hard but then the joys of watching the good things brings healing.
Thank you for your devotion to these majestic creatures!!!!
This is so interesting!!! THANK YOU😊😊
Thank you for your love for them. So many of us get to watch them now , too!
Oh this was wonderful and all my questions were answered in this event about Jackie and Shadow. Thank you for sharing this event and sad you did not show the eagle dance but cut that off. Have a great summer everyone.
You are welcome!

Thank you Sandy for her narration of the story of J&S. We really could feel how much she loves these love birds. I can tell everyone once you get to know J&S, you will never want to leave them because you will be surprised by them every moment. ❤
Wow! A fish in 90 seconds!!!!👏👏👏👏
We loved having the opportunity to attend another fabulous talk given by Sandy!! She has done so much to bring the story of Big Bear's Jackie and Shadow to many around the world. Thanks so very much for everything you have done to bring JOY to so many!

Thank you, Sandy (and FOBBV) for advocating for the Big Bear eagles. I could have listened to your J&S stories all day. I regretted not attending last year, but was very glad that I did so in 2023.
Thank you sandy

😊👍🏻
We love Big Bear ,beutiful.
Yay
❤❤❤
IM SORRY, WOULD YOU HAVE THAT ON FOOTAGE, WHERE MR. B IS WRESTLING WITH SHADOW??? 🦅🦅 THANK YOU!!😉🙏
I really wish I had made the trip out for this but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. Your presentation was top notch and very entertaining! I love watching Jackie & Shadow! I do have a question, when you hear them chortling to each other in the morning and the camera pans over to them for only a very brief time, is this just something they do? Are they "talking" to each other or are they talking to other predators out there? Thank you so much for all you do for us!

Has Jackie and Shadow ever used their other nest? Is it possible that they may at some point? Is it in a better spot?
We are unaware of them using the other nest for egg-laying. Eagles are usually very loyal to their nests, but anything is possible in nature!
@FOBBVCAM Do you think other nest may be better for them possibly? Is it close by and do you know if its as high as the one they use or lower? Appreciate you taking the time to answer me!
What happend to the babies
Hiiiiii
RAPTORS..
Not Ozzie and Harriet
Thank you, Sandy, for your insight and dedication to eagles. It was well worth the drive up from the OC to see you and everyone! ❤️🦅🦅❤️🪺❤️🐣❤️
