Big Bear Eagle Cam ~ Shadow & Mrs. BB Spend Time At Nest ~ Perch Together 6.22.18

Mrs. BB flies into the nest and 30 seconds later Shadow follows and lands on the edge of the nest by Mom's branch. Shadow is submissive and lowers his/her head as Mrs. BB softly vocalizes. Shadow makes no sounds at all - in fact I have never heard Shadow vocalize at all from the videos I have made. Shadow goes to Mom's branch until Mom comes up and Shadow flies off only to come right back & land in the nest and work on the sticks. Mrs. BB comes back to the nest and nips a little at Shadow - who goes to the outer branch until Mrs is done and then returns to the nest -- Mrs didn't like that & nips at Shadows wing - Shadow goes to Dad's branch and she returns to hers. Shadow returns to the nest to move sticks for several minutes then joins Mrs on her branch. Very nice to see them so close to one another and comfortable. Shadow once again returns to the nest to move sticks and then returns to Mom's branch before flying off for the evening. Mrs. BB stayed on the branch. Very interesting dynamics going on here and it seems to me that Mrs allows Shadow because Shadow is so submissive and non threatening. There is an endearing quality about Shadow that I find myself attracted to this story especially if Shadow can not vocalize (this is just an observation). Shadow is certainly thriving and enjoying the time spent not only at this nest but with entire family. Thank you for watching!
