00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to Sandy Steers with friends

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:08.359
<v Speaker 1>of Big Bear Valley. A very exciting day in the nest, Sandy, Hello.

3
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes we do. It's very exciting to see them out.

4
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So tell us what when did this start? And

5
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>is it pretty normal to have it take about this

6
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>long for them to come out or did they come

7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>out extra quick?

8
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty it was pretty normal. The last one, you know,

9
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 3>one day is on the fast side, but it's not

10
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 3>faster than usual, okay. And both of them took about well,

11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 3>the first one took about a little over a day

12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 3>and the second one took about a day.

13
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So the first one was officially hatched, and they

14
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>start with the pipping that's when they break through the shell,

15
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>and then you consider them hatched once they're completely.

16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Out, Yes, when they're out of the shell, okay.

17
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And the second one just finished hatching like an hour ago.

18
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, that's correct.

19
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So what happens now? What does now that they've

20
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>got two eaglets and we've we still have a third

21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 1>egg that could hatch. Maybe we don't know yet. It's

22
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>still within the window of time for it to be

23
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>able to be viable, right.

24
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's correct, it still could hatch.

25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 2>It was only thirty four days yesterday, and they don't

26
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>even really start hatching until at least thirty five.

27
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so now we're watching the third egg. But we've

28
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>got two little babies out. And what do Jackie in

29
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>shadow now do to keep them safe? Protect them? What

30
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>are we what are we going to be looking for?

31
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, they will be you know, covering them as usual

32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and probably taking turns if Jackie let's shadow have his turn,

33
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>and they will be starting to feed them as soon

34
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>as the chick drives off a little bit and can

35
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>sit up. It takes it a while before it can

36
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>even hold its head up, and then they will start

37
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 2>feeding it little bits, feed both of them little bits

38
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of food, and we'll watch and few what happens. But

39
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>they will start bringing more and more fish and other

40
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>food to the nest and kind of stored along the side,

41
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>so there's plenty there for Whenever they stand up, they

42
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>will start trying to feed the chicks.

43
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and they immediately go right to like fish and

44
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>other meat, right.

45
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah.

46
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>The parents will break off little pieces of fish and

47
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>or ducks usually and start feeding tiny pieces to the chick.

48
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and then sandy. We know that we've got another

49
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 1>rainstorm coming. We just had some snow in the nest.

50
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And I saw Jackie the other day. Does she sat

51
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>there as hail fell on her? I mean, she just

52
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>weather's the storm. But one, I mean, the chicks are

53
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>okay if another heavy rainstorm.

54
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 4>Comes in, Yes, the chicks are okay.

55
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I've got she's calling in the background. The chicks

56
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>are fine, and they will keep them covered. And they

57
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have waterproof feathers yet, so that's why they keep

58
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>them covered the whole time. But Jackie and Shadow are

59
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>very good at that, so they will be fine through

60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the storm. And Jackie and Shadow are sort of waterproofed,

61
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>so they will also be fine.

62
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And I know that I've been watching

63
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>obviously you have been watching. Pretty much everyone here at

64
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>KFI has been watching the Big Bear Eagle cam. So

65
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>how many people are watching this?

66
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday we had I think it was fifty nine thousand

67
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and something we're watching at the same time.

68
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 1>It's just I mean, it's just it's just nature. But

69
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>you say it's just nature, it's such a miracle and

70
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>it's so cool to watch Jackie in shadow being the

71
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 1>parents and like tending to the eggs, and now we're

72
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 1>going to watch them as they help their babies grow,

73
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>which is another It's just beautiful to watch. So and

74
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 1>we thank the friends of Big Bear Valley for putting
