Famous bald eagles Jackie and Shadow welcome third egg after losing first two >Bald eagles Jackie and Shadow, whose trials and triumphs in parenthood have been livestreamed to the world from Big Bear, got another shot at raising at least one chick this season after welcoming a third egg to their nest Tuesday. **Why it matters:** Their legions of fans were left crushed earlier this year when Jackie's first two eggs were lost. Friends of Big Bear Valley, which operates the livestream, confirmed in January that an egg was cracked. A raven then came back to the nest later that day and breached both eggs. **Why now:** According to the nonprofit, Jackie's hormones reset — something [fans had held out hope ](https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/jackie-and-shadow-new-eggs-possible)for — and [she laid a third egg ](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1455576862956817)on Tuesday. **What's next:** She could still lay another egg as part of her second clutch, like she did several years ago after her eggs also were broken or breached by ravens. She's typically fertile and able to lay eggs January through April each year.

Incredible news from our favorite bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow! 🎉 They've welcomed a third egg, bringing renewed hope after the loss of their previous two. #BaldEagles #NatureNews #GoodVibes
