That nest has been a feature for several years. It was active this winter but the howling winds from those heavy winter storms up there were difficult. The eggs were noticed to be overdue and it appears they may not have been fertilized. When the eagles abandoned the nest in early spring, ravens were seen eating the two eggs.

Great photos of the pair in this piece about them:

Highs, lows and heartbreak: How a pair of California eagles developed a worldwide fanbase

Fans around the world love watching Jackie the bald eagle and her mate as they watch over two eggs in their nest. They got some bad news last week.

We heard from people who live in Studio City about the earthquake.They got an alert on their phones: “Earthquake detected”!

I follow the Bald Eagle nest in Big Bear. Jackie and Shadow are so entertaining, and beautiful birds! I’ve learned much about Bald Eagles by watching them.

And now an earthquake. I felt it. 5.5 centered near Ojai. I also got the earthquake alert on my phone. I just heard they have downgraded it to a 5.0 on ABC news.

Interesting that the alert came AFTER the earthquake for me.
I'm trying to figues out how this would help the earthquake alert app would help us take shelter in advance of a major earthquake if the alert comes after the event?

Have we ever had an earthquake and a hurricane at the same time?

From the NHC

...CORE OF HILARY NEARING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA... ...CATASTROPHIC AND LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING LIKELY OVER BAJA CALIFORNIA AND PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. THROUGH MONDAY...

Windy as forecasted

South Bay; drizzling here now.

JMVHO.

OK, this one makes sense, thank you for this. Heaviest rain runs the edge of the coast, comes in at LA, takes a turn and heads to Nevada. This is the only one that has made sense so far. The trajectories where it was supposed be coming over the baja border, just didn't make sense.

The kumeyaay interstate near table mtns is closed..long auto line up.. due to rock falls. Just one way I think.The storm chaser sent up his drone to check it out.

Going up and over the top of the US, such a strange path, I expected it to go across the US.

(Inland San Diego-Poway area). Wind is starting to pick up. rain has currently lightened. Current wind conditions are much less than last winter storms. (last winter took out anything that wasn't nailed down or weighing over 100 lbs in my yard-it was an unusual storm pattern). I can hear a solar light I must have missed clanging out there. I need to go get it

I hope the inside Zoo enclosures are sturdy. If the winds get to 50MPH, some of the eucalyptus trees will snap off branches.

Yeah, that's what I worry most with wind, are weak wooded trees.
