Pair of Big Bear bald eagle eggs show signs of hatching ...Middle East

Three years after Spirit the bald eagle hatched his way out of an egg in a nest high above Big Bear Lake, he may have siblings on the way.

Friends of Big Bear Valley, a nonprofit that operates two web cams to capture the goings-on in the nest, announced Monday, March 3, that it discovered two of the three eggs welcomed this year by Big Bear bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow have pipped.

At 7:59 a.m. Monday, one of the web cams captured images showing a second egg had pipped, or cracked as part of the hatching process, some 18 hours after signs that the first egg had pipped. By midday Monday there was no sign the third egg had pipped.

Jackie and Shadow’s last chick, Spirit, pipped three years ago Sunday.

In a social media post, Friends of Big Bear Valley urged excited fans of the bald eagles to be patient with the pipping process. It may take a day or two for a chick to fully emerge from its shell, the nonprofit said.

Hundreds of thousands of people watch the nonprofit’s live stream of the eagles’ nest each year. On social media Monday, fans cheered as “pip watch” continued, hoping for a successful hatching process this year. None of Jackie’s and Shadow’s offspring have survived the past two years.

“After last year’s heartbreak, this is so beautiful to witness!” one commenter wrote on the nonprofit’s Facebook page Monday morning. “Jackie and Shadow deserve it, they are such a devoted eagle family!”
