She made a high-pitched whistling tea kettle noise a little before 5 p.m. Monday. Officials from Friends of Big Bear Valley have told LAist those behaviors are signs an egg is imminent. “She looks almost royal, because all of her feathers are out and it's just — I cry,” Jenny Voisard, the organization’s media and website manager, said with a laugh last week. “It's usually pretty amazing.” The eagle pair typically takes turns caring for their eggs. Shadow visited the nest for nearly three hours across nine incubation “daddy duty” sessions on Sunday, according to organization records.Jackie has laid up to three eggs in a clutch, including in each of the past two seasons, so fans could see another egg arrive this week.A clutch refers to the group of eggs laid in each nesting attempt. Bald eagles generally have one clutch per season, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley. A second clutch is possible if the eggs don’t make it through the early incubation process.The Big Bear eagles also practice delayed incubation, which is when Jackie and Shadow don’t apply their full body heat to the eggs until the whole clutch is laid. Waiting to incubate full time helps the eggs hatch closer together, making the chicks more similar in size and age, which the organization says gives them a better chance of survival. Jackie and Shadow successfully delayed incubation for their trio of eggs last season, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley.Jackie and Shadow's usual incubation time is around 35 to 39 days, starting when the eagles begin to fully incubate their clutch, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley. Last season, the first egg hatched at around 40 days old, the second egg hatched around 38 days old and the third egg around 39 days old. “Pip Watch” — short for pipping, which is the first hole an eaglet makes as it emerges from its egg — is typically announced by Friends of Big Bear Valley before chicks break through each season.You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information.
