Overview
- Jackie and Shadow welcomed two chicks over the weekend, with the first hatching Saturday night and the second late Sunday morning in Southern California’s Big Bear Valley.
- Both hatchings were captured on the Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam, and Friends of Big Bear Valley posted the key moments to the project’s Facebook page.
- Viewers can keep watching the parents feed and brood their young on FOBBV’s website, which offers two livestreams with multiple camera angles.
- This brood came from a second clutch that Jackie laid on February 24 and 27 after ravens raided and destroyed the pair’s earlier eggs in January.
- FOBBV explains that eaglets often take 24 to 48 hours to fully hatch after the first crack, known as a pip, and the chicks can grow to about three feet in just over two months.
