LIVESTREAM: Bald eagle egg hatches at Big Bear nest
We've at least one hatched bald eagle egg at the Big Bear nest!
On Thursday, the egg we've been on pip watch for hatched.
The first pip was caught on camera on Wednesday, March 2. According to the Friends of Big Bear Valley, a non-profit organization that owns and operates the camera, pip is a short word for pipping, the first hole the eaglet makes from the inside of the egg.
Hatching usually takes a few days.
The mother, Jackie, a 10-year-old bald eagle, laid her first egg on January 22. The second egg was laid on January 25. We're holding out that the second egg also hatches here in the next few days
The camera has been active for several weeks as Jackie and the father, Shadow, continue to wait, like all of us, for the eggs to hatch.
The Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest camera is up and running 24/7. So you can always check in on Jackie, Shadow, and the two eggs.
