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!

Hi mimoo! Although I take credit for posting the link here at SCM, I did not produce nor edit it.

The video was produced by David James, who obviously has been an eagle spotter in Big Bear for some time.

His videos and observations are great, and his channel adds quite a bit of perspective regarding our Big Bear eagles!

Marty, thank you for taking the time to edit and post this video for us. It's mesmerizing to watch these majestic eagles in action.

This is a fascinating YouTube video documenting two sub-adult eagles as they harass and hit Jackie during the days before the rescue. There is a fair amount of video showing Jackie grounded near Grout Bay.

Not to fuel any speculation, but this video may offer insight as to the circumstances surrounding Jackie.

If you are interested our local eagles, this video is a must watch!
