Big Bear Bald Eagle Jackie Rescued by Wildlife Officials After Fight with Other Eagles
The longtime Big Bear bald eagle is stable at a rehabilitation facility after rescuers found her unable to fly far following the confrontation.
- On Saturday, July 18, the L.A. County Parks and Recreation San Dimas Raptor Rescue team rescued Jackie, a famous bald eagle, after she was found grounded following a "short ground altercation" with two subadult eagles.
- Friends of Big Bear Valley , which operates the eagle's 24/7 livestream, reported Jackie missing from her Big Bear Valley home last week after she defended her territory against two younger eagles on Friday, July 17.
- The Ojai Raptor Center is treating the eagle, which officials describe as "weak and vulnerable" and currently "underweight and lethargic," after her rescue near Dana Point Park where she was unable to fly.
- While veterinarians await diagnostic results that could take several days, Shadow, Jackie's mate, continues to care for their fledglings Sandy and Luna in the San Bernardino National Forest.
- The Ojai Raptor Center cautioned that recovery depends on pending bloodwork and toxicology results, and officials cannot yet predict a specific timeline or outcome for the eagle.
