Houston, we have an egg! In major news for followers of Southern California’s most famous feathered power couple, bald eagles Jackie and Shadow have welcomed their first egg of the 2026 season in their Big Bear nest.
Jackie began to show signs of labor at 4:22 p.m. Friday and the egg arrived just 10 minutes later, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley, which runs the popular online livestream of the couple’s nest.
“She did a great job and is now resting,” the nonprofit wrote in a Friday evening update. “Shadow came in briefly at 16:41:30 and saw the egg! Thank you for being a part of this amazing event!”
