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!

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.

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.
