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.

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??
