Jackie and Shadow Add Second Egg to Big Bear Nest

The pair are delaying full incubation to synchronize hatch timing.

Overview

  • Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed Jackie laid the second egg around 5:10 p.m. Monday on the nest cam above Big Bear Lake.
  • The first egg arrived around 4:30 p.m. Friday, matching Jackie’s typical three-day spacing between eggs.
  • More than 22,000 viewers were watching the livestream when the second egg appeared, up from over 14,000 for the first.
  • The eagles are practicing delayed incubation and will begin full warming once the clutch is complete, with hatching typically 35 to 39 days after that point.
  • Based on recent seasons, observers are watching for a possible third egg later this week as the adults continue alternating brief nest duty shifts.
