Jackie the Big Bear bald eagle delivered her first egg of 2024 on Thursday.
While Jackie’s partner Shadow was nowhere to be seen, Sandy Steers, a spokesperson for Friends of Big Bear Valley, said he knew about the egg.
“You can see him look under Jackie and you can tell by his reaction that he definitely saw it,” she said.
When will the egg hatch? Steers said it could be about 35 to 38 days. She added that there’s a possibility Jackie could lay a second egg.
“They kind of do that and don't incubate it fully the first few days so that the eggs will hatch closer together,” she said.
While Jackie laid two eggs last year, they never hatched.
