BIG BEAR, Calif. (KABC) -- We have two eaglets! Two eggs belonging to Big Bear eagles Jackie and Shadow have finally hatched.



The first chick emerged from its egg early Sunday morning, revealing a fluffy eaglet moving around the nest. The nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley said the hatching process took about 36 hours.
