Overview
- Jackie and Shadow’s two eggs produced chicks, with the first hatching Saturday night and the second emerging at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley.
- The process began Friday when viewers saw a pip, the first crack that lets a chick break the membrane and take its first breath.
- FOBBV said the parents are brooding the nest and feeding tiny bits of fish to the hatchlings.
- This successful clutch follows the loss of two earlier eggs to ravens in January and a new pair laid on February 24 and 27.
- The nonprofit runs the Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam and reported tens of thousands watching the hatch live, underscoring the project’s broad public following.
