Los Angeles, CA, July 20, 2026 —
A bald eagle, widely believed to be Jackie, one of the stars of the popular Big Bear nest livestream, has been rescued in Big Bear, California. The bird was discovered in a lethargic and hungry state near Dana Point Park following an apparent altercation with two other eagles.
The eagle has since been transferred to a specialized rehabilitation facility for care and recovery. The exact condition and prognosis for the bird were not immediately available.
Meanwhile, Jackie’s mate, Shadow, remains at the nest in Big Bear, continuing to care for their two young eaglets, named Sandy and Luna. The ongoing efforts of Shadow to provide for the fledglings are being closely monitored by observers of the livestream, who have become invested in the family’s well-being.
The incident highlights the natural dangers faced by wildlife, even within protected or monitored environments. Bald eagles, while powerful predators, can engage in territorial disputes that may lead to injury.
Further updates on the rescued eagle’s recovery are anticipated as it receives care at the rehabilitation center.
