I wonder if they will put a kiosk on the just purchased land with info on Jackie and the rest of the eagles? In order to help folks learn about our ecosystem. Maybe that land should be named Jackie's Legacy.

Weezmo- two military choppers were out and about last night. I would guess doing night flying drlls. HOWEVER, and this is strange, when I turned on the light to see what they were they were running dim and when one noticed our porch light it went completely dark. I'd really rather they do that out over empty desert and not over neighborhoods where a crash would be catastrophic!

So sorry it was always a pleasure to see her through the years of with joy and some sadness, with the nesting .

Hoping there will be a comprehensive necropsy to determine if there was indeed a toxin involved. Then Jackie's last gift might be awareness of such a toxin's impact on the ecosystem - her passing should not be in vain. And if toxins are ruled out, then it's simply a tragic loss.

PS Jackie
It would be cool for the mountain to get her remains{ashes}and sprinkle them below the nest and also some to spread on the lake? Just a thought.

What a bummer that BBs eagle has passed. Mother nature can be brutal at times. I count it a privilege to be able to view the nest and family 24/7/365. Sad news for sure.
