Introduction to the Big Bear Eaglet Naming Contest
The Big Bear eaglet naming contest is coming to a close, and fans of Jackie and Shadow still have a chance to name the remaining two chicks. The contest, organized by Friends of Big Bear Valley, a nonprofit organization that oversees the bald eagle nest camera in Big Bear, will accept naming suggestions until Friday, March 28 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
Contest Details
The contest is a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization, with raised money going to support the Bald Eagle Cam’s livestream. Since the livestreams of Jackie and Shadow’s nest cameras are always free to the public and free from advertisements, the organization traditionally asks for a small donation with chick name suggestions. Fans can donate $5 for one name entry, $10 for three name entries, or $25 for 10 name entries. Anything inappropriate will automatically be filtered out.
Selection Process
A randomly selected list of finalist names will be selected by a computer after the contest closes. Local 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students will then vote by secret ballot to choose the winning name next week on April 1. The gender of the chicks is still unknown, so neutral name suggestions are preferred.
Prize and Announcement
The names will later be announced at some point in early April. The winner will receive a certificate of recognition. Sandy Steers, executive director of FOBBV, expressed her gratitude to fans, saying, “Thank you all for your beautiful dedication to Jackie and Shadow and their family. Best of luck in having your favorite name selected!”
Conclusion
The Big Bear eaglet naming contest is a fun and engaging way for fans to support the bald eagle cam and get involved in the lives of Jackie and Shadow’s family. With the contest closing soon, fans should submit their name suggestions and donations as soon as possible. The winner will be announced in early April, and the new names will be a exciting addition to the bald eagle cam family.
