Name Big Bear's New Eaglets: Naming Contest Open

21 April 2026 03:32

The public can participate in naming two new bald eaglets in Bear Valley through a community contest. The eaglets hatched in early April to the well-known local eagle pair, Jackie and Shadow.

Name submissions are accepted online through April 26 for a small donation that supports the nest's livestream camera. A computer will select finalists, then local third-graders will vote to choose the official names.

This annual tradition helps fund wildlife observation and engages the Big Bear community.
