Big Bear Bald Eagle Couple Lose Both Eggs After Ravens Invade Nest
Ravens ate Jackie and Shadow’s eggs after a brief absence, but the pair may lay a new clutch within a month if they resume nesting and mating behaviors.
- Late January, Friends of Big Bear Valley reported ravens breached the eggs after Shadow left the unattended nest in Big Bear Valley.
- Earlier this season, Jackie laid the first egg on January 31 and a second a few days later, after becoming empty nesters last year.
- Livestream monitors recorded Jackie later returned and incubated a breached egg, with Friends of Big Bear Valley's 24/7 YouTube livestream having 702,000 subscribers.
- Friends of Big Bear Valley said there is a possibility Jackie might lay a second clutch, as a female generally needs about a month to recover before laying again, and supporters mourn while monitors wait.
- Producing another clutch will require Jackie and Shadow to start from square one, resume bonding and mating, while observers noted more eagles in the valley and Jackie laid a second clutch in 2021.
