4-15-26 Help name Jackie and Shadows Chicks [3kvJC8W1T9f]
Help name Jackie and Shadow’s chicks! It’s that fun time of year again when we get to help name the Big Bear Bald Eagle chicks. Jackie and Shadow’s eaglets hatched April 4 and 5, and they have been moving quite along in their development. They are close in age and size but we can tell some subtle differences in color and behavior. Chick 1 we believe is a little darker, more submissive and went exploring out of the nest bowl yesterday, while its sassy younger sibling was practicing its survival skills. Both found themselves tucked back under their dad after their adventures. These chicks are both learning new eagle things everyday through these behaviors, along with trial and error. They have started little wingers and they have preened their feathers. They are eating and pooping and taking bigger bites each day. They both get enough to eat, as Jackie and Shadow are able to provide a stocked pantry of fish and prey despite some other nesting neighbors and feathered visitors with similar goals and needs. It is very fascinating to watch the scene unfold among the tree tops. The eaglets change every day, as the beautiful nature cycles on all around them. Every season we root for this little family to figure things out and overcome whatever obstacles they face. We never know what to expect, as that is nature, but we love them and it. If you would like to help name Jackie and Shadow’s chicks you can submit your entries on our website for a small donation of a few dollars. We are a nonprofit and your generosity helps us provide the livestream ad free, as a public benefit for all. Our website is THE ONLY PLACE to submit chick names for consideration.
