Jackie came through anesthesia after a contrast CT scan and bone marrow biopsy, but the most difficult part now begins: waiting for the tests to reveal what has kept the Big Bear eagle so ill.

Sandy has been found near Luna after Big Bear’s dramatic fledge weekend, and Jackie and Shadow are already adapting to feed their young eagles in new places.
