This is from the FOBBV Facebook poge @ 3hrs ago: Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam

UPDATE: We have been in contact with the rehab facility this morning. Jackie is stable and they are waiting on diagnostic results that can take several days. When we have additional information, we will post it here. Jackie is a strong eagle and we as a community will get through this. Meanwhile, Shadow is an excellent mate and father, he continues to care for Sandy and Luna while protecting the nest and territory.Thank you all for your kind words and well wishes for Jackie.The FOBBV Team

Speaking of eagles, is there any definitive info as to:
1) Whether or not Jackie is the rescued bird;
2) If so, the bird's present condition;
3) If recovery is successful, an estimate of the bird's return to this valley.

FOBBV, can you update us please??

This Facebook video was posted by the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks & Recreation showing the rescue of the Big Bear eagle.

The FOBBV, who has reviewed the video, stated that the eagle appears to be Jackie, but the statement falls short of a definitive identification.

It seems for now that we may know what happened!
