ABC7 Los Angeles • • nation
Key Points:
- Shadow, the long-time partner of Jackie the bald eagle, was seen returning to the nest with a new eagle companion tagged "KD1," according to Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV).
- KD1, who hatched in March 2022 in Southern California, is larger than Shadow, suggesting KD1 may be female, as female eagles are typically 25-33% larger than males.
- KD1 first visited the nest shortly after Jackie’s death on Monday and has made several visits since, spending time with Shadow before flying off together.
- Jackie, Shadow's previous partner, passed away recently after a serious illness, marking a significant change for the nesting eagles in Big Bear Valley.
