Big Bear bald eagles Jackie and Shadow welcome in eaglets on Easter Sunday

BIG BEAR, Calif. (KESQ) — A new chapter is underway for Big Bear’s beloved bald eagle pair, Jackie and Shadow, as both of their eaglets have now hatched.

Friends of Big Bear Valley says the second egg hatched around 6 p.m. Sunday, joining its sibling that began breaking out of its shell Saturday and emerged early Sunday. The nonprofit says the hatching process for the first chick took about 36 hours.

With both birds now out of their shells, the nest is officially home to two eaglets --- marking another exciting season for the well-known eagle pair.

The milestone moment was captured live on the organization’s nest camera, drawing viewers from across the country eager to watch Jackie and Shadow grow their family.

You can follow along with the eaglets’ progress through the Friends of Big Bear Valley livestream.
