Bald Eagle Shadow Spotted with Another Bird Days After Jackie's Death, Leaving Fans Chirping
Friends of Big Bear Valley said the banded eagle is a 2022 hatchling that may be nearing breeding age.
- Following the death of celebrity bald eagle Jackie, her long-time partner Shadow has been observed at the Big Bear nest with a new companion, a banded bird identified as KD1.
- Jackie, a beloved Big Bear Valley resident, died on Monday, August 10, after weeks of deteriorating health and treatment for severe anemia at the Ojai Raptor Center.
- Biologists from the Orange County Water District banded KD1, who was hatched in 2022 near the Prado Basin, and observers note the eagle is larger than Shadow.
- According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, surviving eagles commonly seek new mates and continue using an established nest after a partner's death.
- Although outside the breeding season that runs from January through August, the pair has been spotted visiting the site together, suggesting potential future nesting activity.
