Kaydee the Bald Eagle Gives Eagle Cam Viewers an Adorable Close-Up

A new visitor has been catching the attention of viewers watching the Friends of Big Bear Valley eagle camera — and she appears to be just as curious about the camera as viewers are about her.

Kaydee, a bald eagle who has recently been making appearances around the nest, was spotted getting unusually close to the eagle cam Thursday morning.

Video shows Kaydee appearing to inspect the camera dome — or possibly her own reflection in it.

The curious encounter resulted in several adorable head tilts as Kaydee seemed to study what was in front of her.

For eagle cam viewers, it was an unexpected close-up and another memorable appearance from the newest feathered visitor.

Whether Kaydee was checking out her reflection or simply trying to figure out what was watching her, she certainly gave viewers plenty to smile about.
