Big bear bald eagle lays her second egg of the season

BIG BEAR, Calif. (KESQ) - Jackie the bald eagle has laid her second egg at the Big Bear nest!

Jackie had her egg at a little after 5 p.m. on Monday, the Friends of Big Bear Valley team announced.

She laid her first egg on Friday.

According to FOBBV, the two eggs should hatch closer together.

"Bald Eagles practice delayed incubation. They intermittently incubate and stay off or hover over the egg(s) until the last egg of the clutch is laid. Once the last egg is laid, they should incubate all the eggs more regularly. Since Jackie consistently lays eggs 3 days apart, this process slows the development of the first egg(s) laid so hatching will occur closer together, the eaglets will be closer in size, and all eaglets will have a better chance of survival."
