We’ve been following their story ever since early 2025, when the now well-established bald eagle pair laid the eggs that would later hatch into sisters Sunny and Gizmo. During that season, we witnessed all their adventures, from their first flaps to flight lessons and, eventually, their departure from the nest. Along the way, we were also treated to surprise appearances by other standout characters, like the fearless and nosy squirrels Fiona and her brother, Fast Freddy.
But if you thought this reality show was over once the sisters flew the coop, think again. The star couple is still hard at work preparing their home with fresh branches, and in recent days they’ve started adding the coziest (and most crucial) layer for protecting eggs: feathers.
Day after day, viewers can watch via the Friends of Big Bear Valley livestream as the tireless Jackie and Shadow come and go, gathering more materials to make the nest as welcoming as possible. And there’s a reason for all this activity: as early as January, Jackie could be laying new eggs ahead of the 2026 season.
For now, all that’s left to do is marvel at the home makeover and wait for the start of a brand-new season… How many cast members will there be this time?
