Overview

  • Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed on Friday that a raven entered Jackie and Shadow’s nest and cracked at least one egg on camera.
  • Reports differ on the second egg’s status, with the nonprofit and observers saying it remains unclear whether it was also breached.
  • Jackie laid the first egg on Jan. 23 and the second on Jan. 26 during a nesting season closely watched by thousands on the livestream.
  • The eagles were away from the nest for several hours before the intrusion, then later returned, with Jackie seen resuming incubation.
  • Friends of Big Bear Valley noted Jackie has produced a replacement clutch in past years and urged viewers to stay calm as the wild nest is monitored.
