Overview
- Friends of Big Bear Valley, which runs the live nest cam, announced Friday that Jackie and Shadow’s chicks will be called Sandy and Luna.
- Nearly 64,000 public submissions were narrowed by a computer draw to 30 finalists, which Big Bear Valley third graders voted on in class.
- The student ballots put Sandy first with 30 votes and Luna second with 25, with Star and Chip tying for third place.
- The name Sandy honors the late Sandy Steers, the group’s former director who helped launch the eagle livestream in 2015.
- FOBBV tied the naming effort to its $10 million Save Moon Camp push to buy nearby land for habitat protection.
