Fears for the fate of baby eaglet that vanished from viral nest cam

Jackie and Shadow, the Big Bear bald eagle couple whose parenting journey has been livestreamed to the world, appear to be missing one of the three eaglets that hatched this season.

Jackie and Shadow, the Big Bear bald eagle couple whose parenting journey has been livestreamed to the world, appear to be missing one of the three eaglets that hatched this season.

Video of the nest posted to social media Thursday afternoon showed three baby birds in the nest being fed by their parents.

But as of Friday, only two eaglets appeared to be in Jackie and Shadow's nest, according to the Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest Cam.

It's not clear what happened to the third eaglet, but Friends of Big Bear Valley said late on Friday that it was possible the remains of the missing chick may have been observed in the nest bowl.

"We are waiting for more clear visuals to confirm," read the statement," adding that the view into the nest bowl is partially obstructed by snow.
