Baby eagle on the way for Big Bear's favorite pair Jackie and Shadow
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- The bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow, famous in California and observed via a popular webcam, have an egg that has begun hatching, attracting global attention.
- The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley, which operates the eagle cam, reported signs of life with chirping from the egg, indicating the eaglet has broken the internal membrane and taken its first breath.
- A visible crack in the egg suggests the hatching process is underway, which can take 24 to 48 hours to complete.
- Jackie and Shadow are also caring for a second egg laid after a raven destroyed their initial eggs earlier in the season.
- This is the couple’s fourth egg of the year, continuing their successful breeding since the livestream began in 2018, following the earlier hatching of eaglets Sunny and Gizmo last year.
