At about 5:30 tonight, Jackie, the female of the Big Bear nesting pair of bald eagles, laid her first egg of the 2020 season. If things go like the past couple years, we expect a second egg to be laid in about 3 days.

At long last, the Big Bear bald eagle has fledged! He took his first flight at 6:19 a.m. He will next remain in the area, learning to fly as his parents continue to care for him. Then, over the rest of the summer, we should see him around the lake being taught how to hunt.

They grow so fast. The two Big Bear bald eagle chicks that hatched mid-April are no longer tiny fluff balls! And they’ll be adult-sized next month. Today, we had them checked on (good news, they’re healthy) and banded. We also now know both are males. Here’s a close-up look.

Third graders in Big Bear got quite a show yesterday on their field trip with one of our biologists. Two adult and two juvenile bald eagles were spotted. The juveniles scuffled over food and the adults showed mating behavior.

How about a California Flannelbush to brighten your day? The fremontodendrons are bursting with yellow color across the forest right now. This one was seen on Forest Rd 2N01 (Broom Flats Rd). Have you seen it too? Reply here with a photo if you have🌻

Will the Forest closure be enforced? Yes. Here’s an example: In this photo from tonight, an investigation of a vehicle spotted in the closure area revealed expired registration over six months out, which is a towable offense.
