The Friends of Big Bear Valley organization says their eaglet has been officially named!

The chick hatched on March 3 this year, in a nest in the San Bernardino National Forest. It was the first healthy chick in two years for Big Bear’s famed bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow.

The second egg in the same nest never hatched.

Nearly 10,000 names were submitted, but Spirit won out for the baby bald eagle, whose gender is not yet known. The winning name was sent by Patti G, according to the organization.

Hope it doesn’t get greened out by a wind turbine.
