Mystery Surrounds Missing Eaglet in Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest

Jackie and Shadow, the Big Bear bald eagle couple, are known for their parenting journey that has been livestreamed to the world. However, it seems one of their three eaglets that hatched this season is missing.

A video of the nest posted on social media on Thursday afternoon showed three baby birds being fed by their parents. But as of Friday, only two eaglets were seen in the nest, according to the Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest Cam.

The reason for the missing eaglet is unclear. "We were only able to see two chicks during the first feeding so we are not sure what is going on," said Jenny Voisard, media and website manager for Friends of Big Bear Valley. "Our view into the nest bowl is partially obstructed by snow, and there is a big part of it that we cannot see."

Voisard asks for positive thoughts as they wait for updates from nature.

Jackie laid three eggs at the end of January, and all three hatched last week. The first hatched on March 3, the second on March 4, and the third a few days later. It is unclear which of the three birds is missing.
