Overview
- The eaglet's death was confirmed by the Friends of Big Bear Valley nonprofit, which operates the live eagle nest webcam.
- The chick was last seen alive during a feeding on Thursday evening before disappearing from view due to heavy snow obscuring the nest.
- Over two feet of snow from a winter storm impacted the area, also damaging some of the nonprofit's camera equipment.
- The cause of the eaglet's death remains unknown, and the organization has urged viewers to avoid speculation about the incident.
- The two surviving eaglets are reportedly healthy and continue to be cared for by their parents, Jackie and Shadow, who have a dedicated online following.
