Most likely culprits are the people who have been prevented from developing the land that because of the Jackie and Shadow.

Well, I suppose this is a good use of #AI money. At least for #JackieAndShadow and the rest of the #wildlife at #BigBear.
#OpenAI co-founder revealed as giant donor behind Big Bear bald eagle land
The contentious lakeside spot had been threatened with development for yearsBy Erin Rode, July 24, 2026
"The co-founder and president of OpenAI has donated $5.5 million to help environmental groups purchase a parcel of land near Big Bear Lake that had long been slated for development, according to an announcement from Friends of Big Bear Valley on Friday.
"Friends of Big Bear Valley and the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust were staring down a July 31 deadline to raise $10 million to purchase the 63-acre chunk of land along the lake’s north shore under a purchase agreement with property owner RCK Properties. As of earlier this week, the total amount raised stood around $4.5 million.
"The parcel is near the nest of Jackie and Shadow, the internet-famous bald eagles who call the lake area home and use the proposed development site for hunting. Jackie is experiencing health issues and undergoing care at the Ojai Raptor Center.
" 'We did it together! With your help we were able to raise the $10 million needed to save #MoonCamp. Your love for Jackie, Shadow, their chicks and their habitat raised nearly half of the amount and culminating in the total amount being fulfilled thanks to a generous donation of more than $5.5 million from #AnnaBrockman and #GregBrockman,' states a Facebook post from Friends of Big Bear Valley on Friday.
"The nonprofit said the additional funds from the Brockmans, of OpenAI fortune, will allow the land trust to purchase the property 'and have funds remaining to cover closing costs, taxes, legal fees and help maintain the land.'
" '#FOBBV and #SBMLT would like to thank everyone that contributed to this cause. The boards and the team wish to recognize Anna and Greg for their amazing generosity for Jackie, Shadow, their chicks and this special place that so many people love,' states the Facebook post. "

#Jackie the rescued eagle from #BigBear is alert and underweight
by Rene Ray De La Cruz
July 21, 2026"Jackie, the rescued bald eagle and mate of Shadow from Big Bear, is underweight, alert, perching and eating with assistance, according to the Ojai Raptor Center.
"The center delivered that message to Friends of Big Bear Valley, who reported on Monday that the Ventura County-based rehab center had not yet received Jackie’s medical test results, but was expected to within the next couple of days.
"On Tuesday, FOBBV shared an update from the Ojai Raptor Center, saying personnel there are awaiting test results for signs of #lead, #zinc, or rodenticide levels.
"#Rodenticides are pesticides that kill a variety of rodents, according to the National Pesticide Information Center.
"The most common route of exposure to lead for birds, especially in eagles, is through ingestion of spent lead #ammunition fragments and #FishingTackle, according to the #Cornell #Wildlife Health Lab.
"High zinc levels in birds are often caused by the ingestion of lead, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual.
" 'Jackie is anemic and has inflammation affecting her kidneys,' FOBBV said. “They are unsure of the underlying issue causing these symptoms. The center is working with several specialist veterinarians to determine the best supportive care for the moment.'
"FOBBV was also told that Jackie has more energy and 'is mad and fighting. That’s our Jackie, a strong and mighty eagle!' "

🦅📏 Jackie and Shadow have distinct physical traits that allow viewers of the #BigBear Lake #livestream to identify them accurately.
Popular Science explains how sexual dimorphism in #raptors makes Jackie the larger of the pair while specific facial structures provide her with a more intense appearance.

Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagle cam!
(BB is one of the big mountains we can see in the mountain skyline from where we live, it is further east of where all the LA fires were.)
We’ve been watching Jackie and Shadow since the pandemic started and so far they’ve been unsuccessful. But this year there are THREE eggs, which raises the odds! Here’s hoping for eaglets in a few weeks…
