2000 trees cut down and cement poured across 50+ acres for access roads, streets, 55 house foundations, drive ways, marina parking, boat launches, walk ways, and utility buildings.

This is how the MoonCamp development will begin!

And it could end in Jackie and Shadow abandoning their nest because only 15% of their perching and forging habitat will remain open space (Moon Camp Final EIR 2025).

After the heartbreak of a raven attack that destroyed their original nest earlier this season, Jackie and Shadow, the famous bald eagle duo from Big Bear Valley, California, is getting a hopeful second chance.

The pair, adored by thousands of online viewers via the Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagle Nest Cam, has now welcomed a second egg in their new clutch. This brings renewed excitement and optimism to fans following their high-up nest in San Bernardino County's forest canopy.

The first clutch—two eggs laid in late January—was lost when ravens raided the unattended nest. But because the loss occurred early enough, bald eagles like Jackie can often produce a replacement clutch. She laid the first egg of this new set on February 24 (or 25, per some reports), followed by the second on February 27 at around 5:55 p.m. local time.

Bald eagles usually space eggs about three days apart, with a typical full clutch ranging from one to three eggs. Each egg is approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) long and weighs about 4 ounces (113 grams). Both parents share incubation duties, maintaining a steady warmth for roughly 35 days until hatching.

Last season (2025), Jackie and Shadow successfully raised two eaglets—Sunny and Gizmo—from a three-egg clutch, with the young birds fledging in early June.

Right now, Jackie is diligently brooding the two eggs, while Shadow keeps watchful guard close by. Fingers crossed for this resilient pair.

@NatGeo https://t.co/Qa2sqcUI8T is fundraising to help https://t.co/hz7PmcHmwj purchase the surrounding habitat of Jackie & Shadows nest from a developer who wants to turn the land into luxury homes & boat slips. 10 million by July 31st. Please help spread the word

Congratulations to Jackie and Shadow.

The cherished bald eagle pair from Big Bear Valley—Jackie and Shadow—have just welcomed their first two eggs of the 2026 season, laid just three days apart. The first egg appeared on Friday, with the second following on Monday, delighting thousands of viewers tuning into the popular livestream.

Eagle enthusiasts are now eagerly watching to see if a third egg will arrive, as this devoted couple has a history of successfully raising eaglets—including the well-known Sunny and Gizmo in 2025. Over the years, Jackie and Shadow have become beloved local celebrities, giving the world a rare, up-close glimpse into the private lives of wild bald eagles.

Bald eagle egg-laying follows a predictable pattern: females typically produce one to three eggs, spaced roughly 3–5 days apart. Incubation starts gradually after the first egg is laid, allowing later eggs time to develop so the chicks hatch in close succession. This timing minimizes size differences among siblings and improves survival odds for the entire brood.

Jackie and Shadow share parenting duties seamlessly—Jackie frequently handles the overnight incubation, while Shadow takes over during daylight hours. Once the eaglets hatch, they grow astonishingly fast, often doubling their weight within days, and are typically ready to fledge after 10–12 weeks.

Thanks to the dedicated live cam run by Friends of Big Bear Valley, viewers can witness every moment: the patient stillness of incubation, the vigilant exchanges between parents, and eventually the thrilling first pips and hatchings.

For now, the nest remains calm and quiet under the watchful eyes of Jackie and Shadow. But in the coming weeks, it will burst into life with the soft chirps, wing stretches, and energetic beginnings of a new generation soaring above Big Bear.

[Savemooncamp @savemooncamp]

@Rainmaker1973 Hopefully Jackie and Shadow will be able to raise their eaglets in their nest. And not have to leave because they won’t have access to forage for their food anymore with luxury homes and boat slips taking away the endangered species of vegetation and other wildlife.

Do the Math on Moon Camp!

Fifty Homes+ Fifty-Five Boats +One Hundred Forty Cars - Two Thousand Trees = Zero Eagles?

Please help!

Question:
Grok, what would happen to Jackie and Shadow's habitat if the Moon Camp development is built?

Grok’s Answer:
“If the Moon Camp development goes ahead, Jackie and Shadow’s foraging and perching habitat—right on the shore of Big Bear Lake, less than a mile from their nest—would face major devastation.
• Number of houses: 50 luxury residential homes
• Number of boats: 55 private boat slips in a new marina,
• Number of cars: 140-
2.8 per home
• Number of trees cut down: 0ver 20000
to clear the 63-acre site.

Overall, this turns quiet eagle territory into a busy gated community with lake access, threatening the bald eagles’ food supply and peace.”

This COULD happen!
Help stop the Moon Camp development.
https://t.co/nhFesU8TVe
Keep Jackie and Shadow at home!

Experts say cutting down 2000 trees to build 50 homes and putting in a 55 boat marina risks their foraging and breeding ground and could lead to nest abandonment.
