A congratulations is in order for celebrity bald eagle couple Jackie and Shadow, because two fluffy eaglets have hatched.
The first eaglet hatched late Monday night, followed by a second hatching early morning Tuesday, according to the Friends of Big Bear Valley’s livestream recap for one of its bald eagle nest camera feeds.
Viewers of the livestream were treated to a view of both of the eaglets shifting around in their tree-top nest near Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains later Tuesday morning.
It comes as the nonprofit confirmed two “pips” on Monday, the term used to describe when a chick pierces through the eggshell, starting the hatching process.
A third egg in the bald eagle couple’s nest is “only on Day 34,” the nonprofit said on Facebook Tuesday. “Normal hatchings are 35-42 days, so still plenty of time to wait and watch what happens with it.”
More than 83,000 viewers were turned into the nonprofit’s camera one livestream of the eagle nest as of 10:05 a.m. Tuesday, with some commentators congratulating Jackie and Shadow and sharing their excitement over the eggs hatching.
