Jackie laid a replacement egg after ravens destroyed two earlier eggs, as conservationists mourn their late director and fight a $10 million local development threat.
- Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed on Tuesday that Jackie, female bald eagle, laid an egg on Feb. 24, 2026, the first of her second clutch and the pair’s third egg this season.
- Ravens breached the nest last month, and a pair of ravens destroyed Jackie and Shadow’s two earlier eggs while the nest was unattended for several hours.

- Jennifer Voisard said the appearance of a third egg brings renewed hope, and the Friends’ Facebook post received over 5,000 likes within minutes.
- With nesting season running through April, Friends of Big Bear Valley is raising $10 million with the San Bernardino Mountain Land Trust to halt Moon Camp development after Sandy Steers's death earlier this month.
