Overview
- Friends of Big Bear Valley reported Jackie laid the first egg of a second clutch at 2:29:38 p.m. cam time on Feb. 24, with the egg visible minutes later.
- The new arrival is the pair’s third egg of the season after two earlier eggs were breached by ravens when the nest was unattended in late January.
- Live video showed Jackie revealing the egg and resettling in the Jeffrey pine nest 145 feet up in the San Bernardino National Forest.
- Nesting season runs through April in the area, so observers say additional eggs could still be laid this season.
- FOBBV, which operates the livestream, is mourning executive director Sandy Steers’ Feb. 11 death and has begun a $10 million effort with the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust to oppose the nearby Moon Camp development.
