Rescued Big Bear Bald Eagle Jackie Is ‘Stable,’ Wildlife Nonprofit Says

Friends of Big Bear Valley said public photos and videos suggest the grounded bird is Jackie, who is now receiving care at a rehabilitation facility.

  • On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the Los Angeles County Parks San Dimas Raptor Rescue team retrieved an injured adult bald eagle in Big Bear Valley; Friends of Big Bear Valley confirmed Sunday the bird is "likely Jackie," the famous local eagle.
  • Before the rescue, community members observed the eagle grounded near Dana Point Park on Friday, July 17, appearing to have been involved in a "short ground altercation" with two subadult eagles that left it unable to fly away.
  • Because the eagle is not banded, FOBBV relied on photos and public video to identify the bird, noting that Jackie had been missing from her nest for several days before the rescue.
  • Community members and fans have expressed concern, prompting FOBBV to request the public refrain from contacting the rehabilitation facility, as officials stated the eagle is "in the best place it can be" while undergoing medical exams.
  • While the eagle recovers, her mate Shadow continues to care for their recent fledglings Sandy and Luna, and viewers can monitor the nest via a 24/7 livestream operated by FOBBV since 2015.
