10-26-2025 Jackie And Shadow Healthy And Ready

Yesterday Jackie and Shadow visited the nest for over an hour! Jackie flew in first, showing off her full crop. She gave the nest a good inspection before Shadow joined her. It seems Jackie heard worries about fans not being able to identify her with her molted clean head, so, she kindly put a new dark smudge exactly where the old one had been—now everyone is set for telling them apart again! Jackie and Shadow stood together admiring their nest and surroundings. They each picked at a few sticks, watched bugs in the nest bowl and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying hanging with each other and regrounding in their home territory. Jackie was also showing off her perfectly healthy eyes. For anyone who didn’t hear, one monetized FB page (‘Big Bear Lake Bald Eagles’—NOT affiliated with FOBBV or the nest cam; and NOT a place to go for eagle truth or accuracy) has been saying Jackie had a severely injured right eye. That group admin even sent people to find evidence on our livestream of the injury – they found 4 places where her right eye closed for a few seconds—out of over an hour of livestream footage with her eye open and fine. To assist, this video shows 2 places where Jackie closed her LEFT eye for a few seconds… …It’s almost as if bald eagles randomly close one eye or the other, especially when it’s windy (like yesterday) or they are a bit sleepy and looking like they might want a nap. Bald eagles have 3 eyelids that open and close individually. When the one called a ‘nictitating membrane’ is closed by itself (ex: https://www.florida-ecology.com/nicti..., it looks amazingly like the photographs that were posted claiming an eye injury. After a long time in the nest together, Jackie and Shadow stuck around for close ups showing how bright, not-quite-clean, and healthy they both are. Shadow then hopped out to the side front porch to make sure he checked around the entire neighborhood. Jackie joined Shadow out there for some nest tree swaying before they each flew off on an exciting day of adventure. It’s always great to see them both!
