Topline:
The naming contest for Jackie and Shadow's new eagle chicks is officially open!
The backstory: Big Bear third graders will make the final call on the chicks' names. But they'll use a computer-generated list of finalists from the naming contest to vote on the winners.
The rules: You'll have to make a small donation to Friends of Big Bear Valley, the nonprofit that runs the popular livestream of Jackie and Shadow's nest. One entry is $5. Three entries will cost $10. And 10 entries will set you back $25. Names also have to be gender neutral because it's not known yet whether the chicks are male or female. And this probably goes without saying, but any inappropriate, explicit or derogatory names will automatically be disqualified.
How to enter: You can find more information on the contest here. Friends of Big Bear Valley is accepting suggestions until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, April 26.
