Big Bear bald eagle cam updates: Jackie and Shadow’s first eaglet hatches, second expected to hatch soon

BIG BEAR, Calif. () — We have an eaglet! An egg belonging to Big Bear eagles Jackie and Shadow has finally hatched.

The chick emerged from its egg early Sunday morning, revealing a fluffy eaglet moving around the nest. The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley said the hatching process took about 36 hours.

Video from the nest showed the newly hatched eagle moving around shortly after emerging, as viewers continued to watch the nest on Easter morning.

Meanwhile, a second chick has begun breaching its shell and is expected to hatch soon, according to the group monitoring the nest.

Observers are continuing to watch the Big Bear Lake nest as the nesting season progresses and anticipate the arrival of the second eaglet.
