Friends of Big Bear Valley, the nonprofit that runs two webcams that livestream the eagles’ nest, said Friday morning that during the first feeding, only two chicks were visible. Then Saturday, the nonprofit announced on its website the missing chick had been spotted dead.

Following speculation of its wellbeing after its disappearance, one of Jackie and Shadow’s eaglets has died, Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed Saturday.

Just as all three eaglets hatched from their eggs in the Big Bear nest about one week ago, on Friday morning, only two of the little ones could be seen bobbing about for their feeding.The Friends of Big Bear Valley's nest cam captures the nest life of Jackie and Shadow.

Big Bear’s famous baby eagles hatched last week. Their parents Jackie and Shadow had three successful eggs hatch for the first time since researchers began observing their nest. Thousands have watched the livestream from Friends of Big Bear Valley.

Parents Jackie and Shadow still have one egg to tend to, hopeful that a trio of eaglets will complete their new family.

Elated beyond imagination.” That’s how Sandy Steers, executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, says that she and the team of mostly volunteers are feeling after watching three eaglets hatch last week.
