Congrats, Jackie and Shadow! Famous Bald Eagle Couple Welcomed 2 New Chicks
There are two new chicks on the block in California’s Big Bear Valley (and three more on Santa Cruz Island). Beloved bald eagles Jackie and Shadow welcomed a pair of eaglets into the world over Easter weekend — and the whole thing was captured on camera, much to the delight of wildlife lovers.
The first (darling) chick emerged from its shell Saturday at 9:33 p.m. PT after a 36-hour hatching process, followed by the second (equally darling) chick on Sunday morning. Both siblings are “looking great,” according to the nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley, which operates the 24/7 nest livestream.
This moment marks a major triumph for Jackie and Shadow following a failed clutch earlier this year. Now the work continues for mom and dad as they stay busy protecting their chicks and nourishing them with snacks, as well as their saliva, which contains electrolytes and antibodies.
Right now, Friends of Big Bear Valley is calling the little ones “bobbleheads” due to their weak neck muscles and adorably wobbly heads, but their official monikers will come from third graders at a local school, according to the Los Angeles Times. Watch the livestream footage for nonstop cuteness while we await the news of their names.
