- On Aug. 10, 2026, the bald eagle Jackie died at the Ojai Raptor Center after three weeks of intensive medical care following her rescue near Dana Point Park.
- Following an 'altercation' with two subadult eagles on July 17, rescuers found Jackie on the ground near Dana Point Park and transported her about 170 miles to the Ojai Raptor Center.
