Shadow and Jackie, pair-bonded bald eagles that have been tending to their eggs in a snow-covered nest above Big Bear, will likely not see them hatch.
"This makes my heart hurt," said another.In a certain way, they've become like members of our own families, wild animals that we can now watch in our own living rooms.Like many of us, Riherd and his family did their share of watching. NBC4 met with him at his wildlife learning center in Sylmar, where he pulled up the live cam and we watched Jackie taking her turn warming the eggs with her body.
Like many thousands of others, they witnessed a mom doing her best for her young and a dad, guarding her and the eggs in the home they built together and, sadly, the tragedy of a loss they're not even aware of yet.Riherd would know, he has two bald eagles live at his learning center, both were seriously injured and now are held in captivity to survive.
But there's good news from Big Bear, Steers said Jackie and Shadow still have years of mating and more eggs ahead of them.No one can know what the future will bring for this little family in the great big wilderness.This article tagged under:
