'Where is the third baby?' Concern grows over Jackie and Shadow's missing eaglet Show Caption Hide Caption Beloved bald eagle couple Jackie and Shadow may have only two eaglets Famous bald eagle couple Jackie and Shadow may have lost one of their three eaglets in a snowstorm. Some potential sad news from the wild kingdom: the bald eagle couple Jackie and Shadow, who have become online stars, may have lost one of their three eaglets amid a snowstorm. Last week, viewers got to witness the arrival of three eaglets – the first eaglet chick emerging from its shell early Monday and the third chick on Saturday within their nest in Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. This was big news for the community of fans following Jackie and Shadow, who have been stars on the Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam, set up in 2016 by the Friends of Big Bear Valley (FBBV). That's because the couple had lost eggs in 2023 and 2024. Blood moon eclipse: What did the eclipse look like from the moon's surface? See photos taken by lunar lander Bald eagle chick concerns: 'Where is the third baby?' After several days of joy at the late arrival of the third chick, followers became concerned Friday morning when only two chicks were visible during a morning feeding. "I'm sitting here horrified, where is the third baby?" posted one viewer on Instagram. Many others posted comments on Instagram and in the chat channel on the YouTube page hosting the webcam. Still, the flock of followers is trying to remain hopeful. "Nothing has been confirmed and there is a big portion of the nest bowl area that is out of view of the camera due to the snow berm along the edge," Friends of Big Bear Valley Executive Director Sandy Steers told USA TODAY in an email. "So, we cannot see that area or know what is happening. Yes, it possible that the chick is just hidden in that out of view portion," Steers said. Snow covering the top of the nest makes it hard to see the nest's interior closest to the webcam. The nest, which is about 145 feet high in a Jeffrey Pine tree, could be seen gently swaying in the wind late Friday morning as Shadow rested protecting the chicks from the cold. Steers suggested fans keep the faith. "We will remember to handle things the way Jackie and Shadow do, one moment at a time and moving forward with whatever shows up in each moment," she said.

Bald eagle couple's third eaglet is here: See fuzzy chick 'presented to the world'
Bald eagle couple's third eaglet is here: See fuzzy chick 'presented to the world' The waiting was the hardest part for a pair of bald eagles who finally welcomed their third eaglet, which emerged from its shell Saturday. The first hatched on Monday night, the other early Tuesday. Show Caption Hide Caption Watch: Jackie and Shadow's final eaglet is close to hatching Jackie and Shadow's third and final egg is close to hatching just days after their two broke through their shells. And baby bald eagle makes three. Internet faves Jackie and Shadow, a pair of bald eagles whose nest in Southern California can be watched via webcam, have welcomed the third eaglet of their brood. The last eaglet of the nestlings emerged from its shell and could be seen early Saturday morning. "And at today's early morning feeding at 6:13 am, Chick #3 was presented to the world!" the Friends of Big Bear Valley (FBBV) and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam pronounced Saturday on the nonprofit's Facebook page. Back in 2016, the preservation group set up a webcam in Big Bear Lake Forest, located a hundred miles northeast of Los Angeles. Those watching on the FBBV live camera feed could see signs Friday morning that the third eaglet was moving within the final egg as the pip site – the initial crack in the egg before the chick emerges – became evident and grew. Nature calls: Butterflies are in trouble. It doesn't take much to help The other two eaglets hatched earlier in the week, one late Monday and another early Tuesday. Over the years, Jackie and Shadow have grown an internet flock and viewers could watch the arrival of Shadow in 2018 after he chased off another male. Whether the bald eagles bear progeny has been big drama for followers. Jackie and Shadow welcomed chicks in 2019 and 2022, but lost eggs in 2023 and 2024. This year's trio makes it seem as if "Mother Nature is making up for the last few years of no eggs," one follower posted on the Facebook page.
