One of Big Bear Bald Eagle Chicks Has Started to Hatch, Livestream Shows
Friends of Big Bear Valley said the chick made its first pip as the nonprofit’s livestream drew thousands of viewers and the hatch could take 24 to 48 hours.
- On Friday, the first egg in the nest of bald eagles Jackie and Shadow began hatching high above Big Bear Lake, marking a hopeful return for the pair after earlier devastation.
- After their first clutch was destroyed earlier this year, Jackie and Shadow recovered and laid new eggs one month later, allowing the cycle of life to continue.
- Jennifer Voisard, media manager for The Friends, said the hatching process takes 24 to 48 hours after the initial pip appears. The chick must work through the membrane and outer shell.
- The Big Bear Eagle Cam is drawing thousands of viewers who are celebrating the 'baby chirps' picked up by the nest microphone, indicating the chick has broken the internal membrane and is breathing air.
- Meanwhile, The Friends is promoting the 'Save Moon Camp' initiative, a $10 million habitat preservation effort by the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust to protect the eagles' nesting area from development.
