Famous Bald Eagle Babies Weather Major Storm On Live Nest Cam
As the snowstorm rages on in Big Bear Valley, California, Jackie and Shadow’s nest is a flurry of activity. The famous bald eagle couple is facing the harsh weather conditions head-on, along with their three eaglets, who are growing rapidly under the care of the devoted parents.
With over 530,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly 1 million Facebook followers, it’s no surprise that viewers are hooked on the livestream provided by Friends of Big Bear Valley. The organization’s camera operators, including a volunteer based in Greece handling the night shift, have been capturing every moment of this unforgettable family saga since Jackie and Shadow welcomed their eaglets to the world.
As the storm rages on, eagle enthusiasts can rest assured that Jackie is taking care of her young ones with ease, thanks to her remarkable physiology. Her body temperature is an incredible 105 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing her to transfer warmth to her babies through a special “brood patch” on her underside. This crucial role in the eaglets’ development means she’s primarily handling nest-warming duties for now.
Meanwhile, Shadow is busy securing food for his family by fishing and providing sustenance while Jackie focuses on keeping the trio warm and cozy. As their fans eagerly await updates, we are reminded that these remarkable birds require a two-eagle effort to thrive.
The eaglets’ rapid growth process means that, unfortunately, viewers will have to bid farewell to this captivating chapter in the lives of Jackie and Shadow sooner rather than later. Wild bird enthusiasts like Gros suggest that instead of mourning their departure, we should look forward to the next exciting chapter in the story of these beloved birds.
