Overview
- Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed via the livestream that the season’s fourth egg arrived just before 6 p.m. Friday.
- Jackie laid the first egg of this second clutch on Feb. 24, and observers note she often spaces eggs about three days apart, making another egg possible early next week.
- Once full incubation begins, hatching typically takes roughly 35 to 39 days, according to the nonprofit that monitors the nest.
- The pair’s initial clutch was destroyed on Jan. 30 when ravens breached the nest and damaged both eggs.
- The widely watched livestream continues to draw global viewers as the Friends group carries on after the Feb. 11 death of longtime leader Sandy Steers.
