A contest fundraiser to name the little eaglet is open until March 25.
After the deadline, 35 names will be randomly drawn.
The names will then be given to local Big Bear third grade classrooms for a final vote.
After that, all submissions will be entered into a random drawing for prizes, including Jackie and Shadow plush toys, a framed painting of the bald eagle couple, an eagle tapestry, and other gifts.
Since the chick’s gender is not known, a name that isn’t gender specific would work best, organizers said.
Friends of Big Bear Valley has been posting updates on the eaglet, saying it’s doing well and eating lots of fish.
“In addition to being adorable, our little one is gaining coordination and serious personality,” the group posted on Facebook Wednesday. “When Jackie’s tail passes over the chicks head the chick tried to grab her tail feathers… that sounds very familiar, oh yes, daddy does that too!”
“The chick is now starting to move around the nest bowl with ease, Jackie & Shadow better be ready, this one seems active and curious,” the group said.

Call him “Flip”
Full name is “Flip the Bird”
Are you close to Lake Tahoe? Hank the Tank lives there and he should stay away from your new birdie.
Would help to know whether the eaglet is male or female..Ava is appropriate name for female birdie, as it means flight.
That is ridiculous in the extreme. If the eaglet gets an incorrect name assigned, just have the eaglet identify as the other gender. Or, better yet, just assign the opposite gender to the eaglet matching it’s assigned name. Problem solved.
What sort of troglodyte thinking are they teaching these kids?
FJB or Brandon!
