Jackie the Eagle’s Final Flight | California News

Big Bear’s beloved bald eagle, Jackie, has died after a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful battle against illness. Found grounded following a territorial brawl, she was rushed to the Ojai Raptor Center where she battled severe anemia, kidney and lung issues, and dangerous blood clots — even receiving a heroic blood transfusion from fellow eagle Spirit. Despite round-the-clock care, her condition spiraled. A full necropsy confirms her passing, and her remains will be honored at the National Eagle Repository, serving Native American traditions. Tests are still pending to uncover the root cause of her decline — but Jackie’s story has already touched hearts and reignited our call to protect wildlife.
