Jackie and Shadow

Jackie (c. 2012) and Shadow (c. 2014) are a wild female and male bald eagle couple who reside near Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, California.

Jackie, believed to be the first eaglet hatched in Big Bear Valley, came to the public's attention in 2017, when she and her mate took over an abandoned nest with two cameras installed beside it, while Shadow came to the public's attention one year later, when he replaced Jackie's mate at that nest. As of February 2024, Jackie and Shadow have laid 14+ eggs together, five of which have hatched, with two or three of the eaglets surviving into adulthood, all of which have been live-streamed by Friends of Big Bear Valley, installers of the nest-side cameras. The live-stream gained significant attention in 2023, when Jackie and Shadow attempted to hatch eggs despite multiple atmospheric rivers that brought ~45 inches of snow to the area.
