Jackie, famed Big Bear bald eagle, dies 3 weeks after entering Ojai Raptor Center

Jackie, one half of the internet’s beloved bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow, has died after several weeks of intensive medical care, the Ojai Raptor Center said.

Jackie, one half of the internet’s beloved bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow, has died after several weeks of intensive medical care, the Ojai Raptor Center said Monday.

The raptor died early Monday after her condition continued to worsen despite treatment, the rehabilitation center said on Instagram.

Jackie and her mate, Shadow, rose to fame through Friends of Big Bear Valley’s livestreamed eagle cameras, which documented the mated pair as they nested in Southern California for the past decade.

Around the clock, viewers could tune in to watch the eagles build and defend their nest, hunt for fish and raise their two eaglets, who hatched in April.

Jackie had been taken into care after a territorial fight with younger eagles left her flightless and grounded. Although she did not sustain any significant injuries, per the center’s previous statements, subsequent testing revealed she had life-threatening anemia.
