Jackie and Shadow, Big Bear’s beloved nesting eagle pair, have welcomed their first egg of 2025.
For days, fans of the eagles have been following a live feed from a nest overlooking Big Bear Lake, monitoring as Jackie, the female, and Shadow, the male, prepared their home for their new arrival.
Shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22, Jackie settled in the nest and began making the tea kettle-like sound that is associated with egg-laying. At 5:06 p.m., the whistling ended, Jackie rose and a single egg was visible, according to the live stream provided by the Friends of Big Bear Valley nest cam.
