# Jackie, beloved Big Bear bald eagle, dies at 14 2026-08-10T22:03:18+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Jackie, the bald eagle who became an internet celebrity through Big Bear Valley livestreams, died early Monday after a prolonged illness, the Ojai Raptor Center said. She was 14. She had been in intensive care for over three weeks after being found grounded near Big Bear Lake, suffering from severe anaemia and kidney inflammation. Her packed cell volume fell below 6 per cent despite a blood transfusion that briefly improved her condition. Jackie, mate of the famous bald eagle Shadow, hatched in spring 2012 and raised multiple eaglets, including three in 2025. Her death marks the loss of one of California’s best-known wild eagles, representing the species’ recovery from DDT and habitat loss. Her remains have been transferred to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for further analysis. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - livemint.com Tags: bald eagle, Big Bear Lake, Jackie, Ojai Raptor Center, wildlife Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/big-bear-bald-eagle-jackie-dies-after-weeks-of-intensive-care/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
