BIG BEAR, Calif. — Big Bear’s beloved bald eagle couple, Jackie and Shadow, have welcomed three eaglets into the world.
During a feeding session Friday, only two of the eaglets were visible.
“We cannot see the entire nest bowl because the view remains partially obstructed by snow. We are observers of nature and do not know the entirety of the current situation,” said the Friends of Big Bear Valley group in an update.
You can continue to watch live as the parents keep a close eye on their babies.
The first eaglet arrived Monday night, popping out of its shell shortly before 11:30 p.m. The special moment was captured live during the 11 p.m. newscast of ABC7 Eyewitness News.
The second chick hatched sometime in the overnight hours.
Jackie and Shadow are taking turns watching and feeding the baby birds, who won’t be able to leave the nest for about 10 to 14 weeks.
The baby birds are unnamed, but suggestions will come from the public. The tough decision-makers will be local Big Bear third-graders.
In 2022, Jackie and Shadow successfully hatched an eaglet, later named Spirit via a contest held by Friends of Big Bear Valley.
