I’m totally obsessed with #JackieAndShadow’s nest live cam in #BigBearValley. They have 3 eggs this year. Last year they lost all the babies & they were devastated.

Shadow typically is on the day shift & Jackie on night watch. Jackie just totally came & kicked shadow out.

#JackieAndShadow’s initial pip has been confirmed today at 15:09. The pip is circled in the picture.
Jackie & Shadow’s previous chick Spirit pipped exactly 3 years ago to the date.
It may take a day or more for the chick to fully emerge from the shell.

It looks like a beautiful, if chilly, morning in #BigBearValley.
Shadow warms the eggs in a snow filled nest. It snowed all night. But the week ahead is forecast for warmer weather. The egg that pipped should hatch today or tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest.🤞
Woo Hoo!
2 eggs have now pipped!
Here’s a video of Jackie rolling the eggs just now, you can see somebody is coming!

It looks to me like all 3 eggs have pipped. Here you can even see feathers & a leg(?) through the crack in the shell!

Oh my goodness!
#Eaglet beak & face sighting through the pip!

Jackie finally lets Shadow takeover for a while. Shadow usually does the day shift while Jackie takes night. They clearly have a heightened awareness of what seems like impending hatching. They are checking on & rolling the eggs a lot more frequently & Shadow has been hanging around very close by. Jackie has occasionally called to him & he’s there in a second or two.
Check out Jackie’s 7 foot wing span as she takes off.

Jackie just took a break to eat the fish Shadow had brought her & we got a glimpse of 2 little faces & beaks & one even gave out a little cry! So cool. Jackie just finished eating & successfully ousted Shadow.
Apologizies for the orientation switch — I quickly switch back to landscape just in time to see baby chirp.

I love how Shadow prattles away to the #eaglets as he rolls the eggs under himself to take his shift while Jackie eats.

Exactly why I’m watching, TL cleanse
Here’s a good long look at the #eaglets peeking & chirping through the pips in the shells. I’m a little worried about the third egg, but it’s possible it will hatch later. Jackie laid each egg singly & 3 days apart from each other. So it could be the last egg laid.
#JackieAndShadow #BaldEagle #BigBearValley #wildlife #conservation
Chick1 hatched 3/3 23:26! Chick2 hatched 3/4 4:29!
It was on the night vision cam, so pretty difficult to see, but yay!!!
Shadow is on watch now, & he’s keeping them nice & warm tucked beneath him, but here’s a little look at the #eaglets. Shadow sweetly tucks the remaining unhatched egg between the 2 before settling back down.

Here’s a much better look at the #eaglets. One is already innately opening its little beak for a feeding, #Shadow didn’t have anything, but stroked the little one with his beak.

Feeding!
Jackie just succeeded in feeding some fish to one of the new chicks. The whole time I was rooting for the other chick to get some nibbles.
#JackieAndShadow #Eaglets #BaldEagle #BigBearValley #wildlife #conservation
I love #Shadow, but he’s just not as good at the whole feeding thing as #Jackie.
Video: Eaglets, with wide open beaks, are ready for a feeding. Shadow, belatedly realizes it, but the chicks have tired themselves out, so when he tries to give them some bits of fish, they’ve exhausted themselves. - I do think one of the eaglets got a little nibblet.

Proving my point, #Jackie returns to the nest, bloodied beak & claws, prey in claw, & successfully feeds both #eaglets!!
First feeding of eaglet #2!

These two are a crack up. Here they are grabbing each other’s beaks. They’re so absorbed in each other it took a while before they realized Jackie was trying to feed them.

Still snowing in #BigBearValley, CA.
Here’s #Shadow checking in on the eaglets in the nest’s snow bowl.
He even treats them (& us) to a few silly snorts.
The third egg has pipped!!!!
In the video you can see the unhatched eaglet moving around through the pip!

Yeesh, & you thought your kids were messy eaters.

This livestream is keeping me sane 😆 I've been following since yesterday and almost cried happy tears when chick 2 finally managed to feed.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. I have never witnessed a feeding of one so young. 😀

It’s such a nice break from the human news of the world. There’s more hope & far more love in this story.
After last year and the fires this is so good!
A Northern Royal Albatross hatching about 6 weeks ago, on the Otago Peninsula. #LiveCam of that too 👍
