Jackie Lays First Egg of 2026 at Big Bear Eagle Nest

Incubation begins with this nest’s eggs often taking longer than average to hatch.

Overview

  • Friends of Big Bear Valley’s live camera recorded Jackie laying the egg at about 4:32 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23.
  • Shadow arrived minutes later to view the egg, with Jackie guarding the nest through the night.
  • Hatching typically takes about 35 days, though FOBBV reports this pair’s eggs often hatch in roughly 38–39 days.
  • Viewers are watching for additional eggs in the next few days, consistent with past multi‑egg clutches.
  • The widely followed livestream tracks a pair with variable outcomes, including two fledglings in 2025 and no hatchlings in 2023 or 2024.
