Mother Jackie, Missing from the Nest
An eagle was rescued at Big Bear Valley, thought to be Jackie who has been missing from the nest for the past 10 Days. Father, Shadow has taken over care of the family in her absence.
This has been an unusual season after Sandy (big sister) and Luna (little brother) returned to the nest after they fledged. It’s been a whole-family affair at the nest. Jackie has lost weight, but is responding to treatment. It appears she may have been in a fight over food before she was unable to make her way home.
Another clip from the FOBBV live stream shows Shadow defending the nest from a sub-adult eagle intruder with Luna lending a hand. Jackie is in good hands and able to eat on her own. Jackie may be realizing the friends who have been watching over the family, and know her name — while human’s get a closer look while she’s under their care.
