Jackie’s heartbreaking death has stunned fans of the famed Big Bear bald eagle and while they navigate the loss of the beloved bird, they’re also wondering – what’s next for her mate, Shadow? Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), the nonprofit behind the livestream of the eagles’ nest, provided some insight. “The chances are high that he would find a new mate,” Voisard said. Jackie and Shadow’s love story began in 2018 after Shadow successfully kicked out Jackie’s then-mate, Mr. B, from the nest. From then on, Jackie accepted Shadow as her new mate and the pair were together until her fight with the two younger eagles.
