Big Bear Bald Eagle Jackie Takes "Encouraging Step Forward," Moved From ICU, Ojai Raptor Center Says
The bald eagle remains seriously ill and will return to Big Bear only if veterinarians say she can hunt and defend herself.
- On Wednesday, the Ojai Raptor Center moved Jackie, the Big Bear bald eagle, from intensive care to a regular hospital unit, marking an encouraging milestone in her recovery from an unknown illness.
- Wildlife rescue teams transferred Jackie to the center on July 17 after finding her grounded near Dana Point Park following a territorial fight with two subadult eagles; medical exams revealed anemia and kidney inflammation.
- Although veterinarians report Jackie has taken an 'encouraging step forward,' they emphasize she remains a very sick patient requiring intensive monitoring; she received a life-saving blood transfusion last week.
- Once healthy enough to hunt and protect herself, Jackie will be released to her home territory in Big Bear, though veterinary teams have not provided a specific discharge timeline.
- While Jackie receives care, her mate Shadow continues defending their nest; nonprofit Friends of Big Bear Valley reports that eaglets Sandy and Luna have not been seen on cameras since July 23 and appear to have left.
