Three months after leaving their nest following the successful fledging of their two chicks, Sunny and Gizmo, Big Bear Lake’s famed bald eagle parents Jackie and Shadow were spotted making a visit to the treetop dwelling this week.<\/p>\n

The prominent predators came swooping into the nest on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 26, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley<\/a>, a nonprofit organization that operates a 24-hour live camera feed of the nest.<\/p>\n

“They’re back!” FOBBV Exective Director Sandy Steers gleefully announced in a social media post<\/a>. “Jackie and Shadow touched down\u2014Jackie first, followed right behind by Shadow\u2014for a beautiful joint arrival at the nest!”<\/p>\n

The couple hasn’t been seen together in the nest since vacating their seasonal home in June after eaglet sisters Sunny and Gizmo spread their wings to strike out on their own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fresh feathers<\/h2>\n

Jacke and Shadow had some fresh plumage to show off, FOBBV said.<\/p>\n

“They have both obviously finished their summer molting and their feather coats look absolutely\u00a0stunning,” according to Steers.<\/p>\n

A black sap stain that had adorned Jackie’s head all year and helped eagle-eyed viewers easily tell the parents apart, was gone.<\/p>\n
