I know some of you like to view the bald eagle couple in Big Bear via camera. Ms Jackie and Mr Shadow now are nesting two eggs. The gestation period is about 38 days. I don't have a link but the camera can be found on YouTube.

    Thank you! I haven’t watched an eagle cam in a long time! I’d enjoy that!

    Thanks iris, i enjoy this too. Discovered just today that i have a beaver (!!!) In the tail of our large.farm pond. Not sure how to handle- s/he's taken down a sapling, almost severed an eight-inch poplar, and has started in on an eighteen-inch white oak. Hoping we can humanely trap and remove him. I've got otters too-had a family of three playing on our dock for half an hour last weekend. We occasionally see bald eagles, but our pond is not big enough to really support. I'm waiting on black bear and panthers next.

    There are all different live cams on explore.org, I love watching the puppies. They have eagles, bears and lots of other critters. I watch the eagles on this cam too:

    @Iris L. Thank you so much! My daughter with autism loves birds of prey and was overjoyed watching the bald eagle sitting on the nest! Snow, wind, nothing kept the mom or dad eagle from keeping the eggs warm.

    I also have a far view, it shows the trees around the nesting tree. I like to look at that one, when Jackie or Shadow leave the nest. Sometimes you can see Shadow perching in one of the other trees. Its amazing. 🦅🦅
