Big Bear bald eagles waiting for eggs to hatch

The waiting game continues in Big Bear as we watch two bald eagles tend to their three eggs. Gordon Tokumatsu reports for the NBC4 News on Mar. 11, 2024.

We love Jackie and Shadow as well as their journey! We’re blessed to be so up close! Love them so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@danielbroadley4211]

SO Amazing! This is the Kind of thing that should be shown in schools at all ages. Does anyone else agree?

[@aunt.minna33]

My students are watching

[@danielbroadley4211]

What are the students reactions please

Nice footage of the always lovable and entertaining Jackie and Shadow. Good work getting the perspective of an ornithologist working with raptors in SoCal. 👍

[@BirdWorldtv8795]

amazing

[@loveroseroserose4119]

I wanted to see a cute eagle chick🐤 So fluffy

[@CJames-ws6eo]

Looks like another carefree no responsibility spring and summer for these two. Enjoy your spring and summer shadow and Jackie!!

[@kerryguzman8263]

Sad to say they will be reporting the eggs didn't hatch this season😢

[@MrCageinblood]

It should have been born by now

[@hpenfold]

It's interesting to watch the dynamics. When Shadow arrives at the nest he is expecting a turn incubating. If Jackie is not ready to leave sometimes he places a stick on her back or steps on her. Often she accepts this little nudge and lets him have a turn, but not always.

Lord please bless them with children,,,,,

[@marciayoung8735]

The Eagles were born there in big bear so they are used to the weather..

[@sunrise-kx4ev]

Good reporting! Thank you!

[@melissawarfield]

Jackie and Shadow are part of my family. I've been watching for a long time. If the eggs were going to hatch I would be happy. There's a chance the snow and cold had something to do with the eggs not hatching. Fingers crossed for the next season of eggs. Prayers for the Eaglets that never came to fruition.

[@pattylewin3548]

Prayerfully the eggs 🥚 🥚🥚 hatch. Beautiful eagles.❤🦅🦅

[@donbaxley5530]

I'm curious that when the ravens come to the feeder if the eggs will be liquid or have embryos in them?

[@latamarap13]

I have been on an PIP for weeks I'm going to be so sad if I don't see any eaglets. I hope that we get to keep on watching them though.

[@Perfer-gw6ir]

I hope I am wrong, but it looks like we have three dud eggs.

[@nancyrobertson8402]

Breaking my heart.

[@BeccasMovieChannel]

They going to be St Patrick's Day babies

[@Suzanne1999]

I'm watching other eagle cams, where the eaglets have hatched. So sad for Shadow and Jackie. Maybe they're just too high? 145 feet is HIGH! The temperatures do not seem to be in their favor. I know they were successful in 2019. I would like to see them relocate, but I know they won't. 😢

All animal love respect lessons on every school world wide Children have to learn how to respect animals

[@bonniejackson1789]

It saddens my heart if these eggs do not hatch..

[@rosemiller8425]

Lord can you help these powerful eagles Amen

[@bombaybeach208]

They arent going to hatch. They didnt hatch last year, either.

[@horacegreeley5479]

Yeah, they're success rate is really low. 16 eggs laid over 6 years have only produced 3 eaglets.

[@robingreene8167]

How long will they wait?

[@sharoncolick5080]

Maybe wait till first days of Spring they had a bad winter hope the eggs do hatch real soon ........🦅🦅🦅 🦅🦅👩‍🦳😊🌱🌱

[@ingridruiz-meijer6089]

They are famous and they have a daughter called Spirit So many people love or are in love with them includimg me ❤️🧡 Spirit ❤

[@Crazycatlady688]

😢I'm so upset. I feel sorry for her.

[@kimsmith6469]

😢me too..they worked so hard keeping the eggs warm...

[@jazminruffafederova218]

they won’t hatch anymore 😢

[@territaylor5499]

So their eggs haven’t hatched in 2 years..could it be they are being able to fertilize those eggs. Just a thought. So sad

[@dawnmanley6406]

Love watching J&S❤

[@Channelinterrupted]

Well, during the last 2 storms, they left their eggs unattended both times ( and that's only what I observed) for 10 minutes... In the snow . That's too much I think..I had googled it at that time and it said they usually can only leave them safely for a few minutes when it's that cold... So it's odd that they did that... Especially considering they are very diligent this past week in not leaving the eggs unattended... Hmm

[@johnguz76]

Eggs are all now beyond hatch stage so they will not hatch.

[@sct3339]

The eggs are not viable 😢. 2nd year in a row

[@seacoastpatriot318]

eggs are not viable. is common for this pair who have produced just one eaglet in last 5 years.

[@laskey2175]

😟

[@lars277]

I believe no chicks this year. It is well past due date.

[@kimsmith6469]

He is right, there are a pair of bald eagles here...and we believe that there was no hatchlings this year as well...i saw a couple of Crow's in the nest the other day...😥😥

[@mistyflores7778]

Lol there were no crows in the nest, only Jackie and Shadow have been in the nest..

[@jeffreyb8770]

Who put the golf ball in the nest??

[@tarawhite4419]

Are these birds real or are they robots too?

[@alecmcdonald744]

Eggs had 40 days . This is well gone . There dead

[@thatsafactjack6513]

Them eggs are done ravens will clean up lol

[@blueberrycobbler]

Yes, that’s the reality, but I’m not quite seeing the humor.

[@The-ii5mj]

Have some respect for all the people who not only watch but love these 🦅's, please. Their behavior alone is amazing. Hear that comment that was read out⁉️ These 🦅🦅 may be a joke to you but they mean something to A LOT of people.✌️

[@schumacher5757]

Pretty crappy comment. Why comment at all?

[@sct3339]

Glad u find this so funny loser

[@thatsafactjack6513]
