Thank you, Jilly! Hopefully Jackie will continue to get stronger and heal soon.🙏

Wonderful news Jilly. TYVM.

The Ojai Raptor Center intended to post Jackie updates as they became available, but they report that Facebook has removed their update posts and restricted their account. It looks like their Instagram account has been blocked also. It seems the recent upsurge in their web traffic has triggered some sort of security measures.

Good maneuver Facebook!

[BFA INCIDENT DISPATCH]
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN BIG BEAR CITY - NB HWY MM BIG BEAR CITY
DETAILS: [Click Here]

Friends of Big Bear Valley posed this today:

An update from Ojai Raptor Center this morning.
They are still waiting on results for any sign of lead, zinc or rodenticide levels. Jackie is anemic and has inflammation affecting her kidneys. They are unsure of the underlying issue causing these symptoms. The center is working with several specialist veterinarians to determine the best supportive care for the moment.

We loved hearing that Jackie has more energy this morning. She is mad and fighting the staff… That’s our Jackie, a strong and mighty eagle!

She is eating well with assistance and is even picking up food on her own. She is still standing up and perching.

They did do x-rays and there were no fishing hooks, sinkers or other metal objects observed.

We will keep updating you the minute we hear any new information. Thank you for your support, well wishes to Jackie and the entire eagle family.

Keep the positive energy and prayers coming.

The FOBBV Team

And please, no one post a reply about how they can't be sure because there was no band on the bird, blah blah blah. Come on! No one's seen Jackie in Big Bear since that day. So why not add 2+2 and say, "Jackie, we wish you a speedy recovery and can't wait for you to return to Big Bear."

This isn't meant to be disrespectful toward anyone, but - well - the whole thing about maintaining secrecy regarding the eagles identity? Maybe I'm the only one here, but... it just struck me as funny! A cartoon caption appeared: "In order to assure privacy, the name of the victim is being withheld pending next of kin." Ahh, I guess it offered a bit of comic relief during these tense global times...

Right on Marty. Thank you so much!

The latest and best source for information regarding Jackie is from the organization that is currently treating her, The Ojai Raptor Center.

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??

PO ya took the words right outta my mouth! Circle of Life.

Yep PO birds of a feather my flock together but not always.

We need to round up a posse and arrest them young eagles. Oh wait... Shadow was a sub adult when he kicked out Mr BB.
