On Friday morning, viewers of the Friends of Big Bear Valley live camera noticed that one of the three eaglets in the nest of bald eagles Jackie and Shadow appeared to be missing. The eaglets had successfully hatched last week, with Jackie and Shadow seen keeping them warm and feeding them. A video posted by the Friends of Big Bear Valley on Thursday showed the two eagles feeding their chicks, with the post noting, “Jackie and Shadow instinctively prepare when inclement weather is on the way. A dual feeding seemed super effective and productive as all the chicks received ample amounts of food.”
However, by Friday morning, concerned comments flooded in from viewers who could only see two eaglets in the nest. According to NBC Los Angeles, the Friends of Big Bear Valley stated, “We were only able to see two chicks during the first feeding so we are not sure what is going on. Please hold positive thoughts as we wait to be updated by nature.”
The nest, located in the San Bernardino Mountains, has been under close watch, with the third eaglet’s absence following recent snowfall. A representative from the Friends of Big Bear Valley told ABC News that snow obstructed the view into the nest bowl, leaving a part of it unseen. The organization remains hopeful for updates as nature takes its course.
