After incubating for more than 40 days, it seems unlikely that the pair of bald eagle eggs in a nest near Big Bear will hatch.
It looks like Big Bear’s world famous bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow, won’t be welcoming new eaglets anytime soon.anticipating the hatching of two eggs that have been incubating for more than a month in a nest in a tree high above the San Bernardino National Forest.
“They could have not been fertilized, or could have stopped developing somewhere along the process for any of a variety of conditions and reasons,” the group wrote on Facebook. “Without seeing what was going on inside the eggs during each step of the process, we have no way to know what happened. We will simply trust that nature knows best what it is doing and why.”
About a week ago, Shadow and Jackie were also both seen leaving the eggs alone for up to two hours, which is considered odd behavior when eagles are caring for eggs.
