School Spotlight SUMMIT ACADEMY - YOUNGSTOWN

It’s the Eye of the Eagle, the Thrill of the Flight...

Fourth grade teacher, Cyndi Cline, loves watching the Eagle Nest Cam from the Friends of Big

Bear Valley, California. Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

dedicated to environmental education and connecting people with nature. They are best

known for operating the Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest Cam, which provides a live stream of a wild

bald eagle nest in Big Bear Valley, California.

The nest, located approximately 145 feet up in a Jeffrey pine tree, has been active since 2013

and is home to the resident bald eagle pair, Jackie and Shadow. FOBBV's live stream has

allowed viewers worldwide to observe the eagles' nesting activities, including egg-laying,

hatching, and chick-rearing processes.

In early March 2025, Jackie and Shadow welcomed two eaglets, marking a significant

milestone after previous unsuccessful nesting attempts. This event attracted widespread

attention and was celebrated by eagle enthusiasts globally, including Ms. Cline and her

students.

Recently, Ms. Cline and the class had the exciting opportunity to meet with a team member

from FOBBV for a special question-and-answer session. During the session, they asked

insightful questions and gained a deeper understanding of the eagles, eaglets, and their

environment.

Continue to fly high and soar like the eagles, Ms. Cline and class!
