Beloved Big Bear Bald Eagle Jackie Dies After Prolonged Illness and Intensive CarePreviousNext

Jackie, a 14-year-old bald eagle from Big Bear Lake, California, died after more than three weeks of intensive care at the Ojai Raptor Center. Despite treatments including oxygen therapy, blood transfusion, and specialist consultations, her condition worsened due to severe anemia and kidney inflammation. Jackie had been involved in a fight with younger eagles, but this was not the cause of her illness. She was a beloved local and global symbol of bald eagle recovery, known from livestreams documenting her life and nesting.
