Sandy Steers, Executive Director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, says it's probably unlikely for the eggs to hatch at this point, but 'miracles do happen.'
The trio of eggs from popular Big Bear eagles Jackie and Shadow may not hatch, unfortunately. According to ‘Friends of Big Bear Valley’, as of March 11 there were no confirmed pips in any of the eggs. The first of three eggs was supposed to hatch February 29. Nearly two weeks later, none of the eggs have hatched. Sandy Steers, Executive Director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, says it's probably unlikely for them to hatch at this point, but "miracles do happen.
With the nest camera, we are all simply observers of their everyday journey. We can feel sad that things do not seem to be working out the way we had hoped or for the dissolving of expectations we had for what was to come," Steers wrote online. There is no indication what caused the eggs not to hatch, but Steers believes it may be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, and oxygen levels at high altitude. It could also be biological.
