A pair of bald eagles nesting in Big Bear Valley in southern California welcomed their second egg during anon 17 January. The female eagle, named Jackie, laid their first egg six days earlier. The nest camera is one of a handful of its kind around the country that give scientists and members of the public a window into how bald eagles live, hunt and rear their young.
