""Mating will continue until all eggs in the clutch are laid. Only Jackie knows how many and when she is done," the non-profit said in an Instagram post. "Eggs are laid 3-5 days apart. Jackie tends to lay every 3 days. In the meantime, if other eggs are on the way, incubation for Egg#1 is delayed in order for all eggs to hatch closer together. This helps with the survival rate of the chicks after hatching.""
""Big Bear's beloved bald eagle couple, Jackie and Shadow, have laid their first eggs of the season. It's something that was anticipated by many after the two were seen building up their nest and getting extra friendly with one another on the live nest camera, which is owned and operated by the non-profit Friends of Big Bear Valley. The pair have raised several eaglets in the past, including Sunny and Gizmo last year.""
Big Bear's bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow laid their first egg on Friday and a second egg on Monday. The birds were seen building their nest and interacting on a live nest camera operated by the non-profit Friends of Big Bear Valley. The pair have previously raised eaglets, including Sunny and Gizmo last year. Mating will continue until the clutch is complete; eggs are laid three to five days apart and Jackie tends to lay every three days. Incubation of the first egg may be delayed until additional eggs are laid so hatchings occur closer together, improving chick survival.
