"We are sad to let everyone know that one of Jackie and Shadow's chicks did not make it through the severe weather storm that brought over 2 feet of snow to the area," said a message from the nonprofit organization that offers a 24/7 look into the eagle's nest, which rests nearly 150 feet up a tree overlooking Big Bear Lake.
A midday feeding on March 15, 2025, where only two of the three eagles recently hatched in Big Bear can be seen. Friends of Big Bear Valley/YouTubeParts of the nest were partially obstructed from the camera's view because of the large pile of snow from two recent storms that swept through the San Bernardino Mountains. As the snow began to melt, more of the nest came into view.
There has been speculation as to what happened to the third chick for several days, but they offered clarity on Saturday afternoon as soon as they learned more.
"We understand completely how hard this is to hear," they said. "Please allow yourself to grieve and feel whatever you feel. Please honor the chick for its courage in getting as far as it did and doing whatever it came to do."
The first of three eggs was laid by Jackie on Jan. 22, with the second two eggs following just days later. Several weeks later all three of the eggs hatched.
