The latest update on Jackie brought the news no one wanted. Her anemia has worsened, her PCV has fallen to 13%, and advanced testing is now underway.
Shadow guards an empty Big Bear nest while a sub-adult eagle settles into Jackie’s favorite perch and Sandy and Luna remain away from the nest overnight.
An adult bald eagle was found struggling in Big Bear Lake before a trained rescue team reached the bird after dark. Dramatic footage follows the eagle from the water to a boat, a transport crate, and specialized rehabilitation care.
Shadow delivered separate fish to Sandy and Luna before the Big Bear siblings shared a heart-melting moment back at the nest.
Sandy’s first flight at Big Bear did not go as planned. After Luna’s porch bump, Sandy slipped below the nest, freed herself, and flew.
