Eaglets Hatch! Help Name Big Bear Valley's Newest Arrivals
20 Apr
Summary
- Two eaglets hatched recently in Big Bear Valley, joining eagle parents Jackie and Shadow.
- A naming contest is underway, accepting donations for name suggestions until April 26th.
- The births are bittersweet due to the recent passing of nest cam installer Sandy Steers.
Two eaglets, welcomed by eagle parents Jackie and Shadow, have hatched in Big Bear Valley. These new additions are being observed by fans via a live camera feed, with a unique naming contest now open.
The "Big Eaglet Naming Contest" invites the public to submit creative names for a donation, with options to submit multiple names for increased donations. The contest concludes on April 26th, after which a winner will be randomly selected.
The birth of these eaglets carries sentimental value, honoring Sandy Steers, the nest cam installer who passed away two months prior. Despite previous challenges, including the loss of their winter eggs to ravens, the survival of these new eaglets is a celebrated occasion.
Past eaglet names, such as Sunny and Gizmo from the previous year, were memorable, and Friends of Big Bear Valley anticipates equally creative suggestions for the current hatchlings.
