Kaydee came to the Big Bear nest with sticks on her mind. After winning a battle with one stubborn branch, she found Shadow and made an even bolder move.
Hours after Jackie died, KD1 did something never seen before: the banded young eagle landed in Jackie and Shadow’s nest, then ended the night near Shadow.
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 and a sub-adult eagle spent the night in the same Big Bear roost tree, but a second young eagle nearby made the evening even more surprising.
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.
