On Thursday morning, the larger male eagle returned to the nest, put a stick on the female s tail feathers and moments later the female flew away, leaving the male to tend to the eggs. Friends of Big Bear Valley, which operates a webcam near the nest, say the eggs are expected to hatch in midMarch. The nest is in a pine tree about 145 feet (44 meters) in the air.
