#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!' "

Documentaries show that predators such as #barnowls, #eagleowls, #tawnyowls, #kestrels, #commonbuzzards, #redkites, #foxes can be secondarily poisoned if they eat poisoned #mice.Long-term monitoring of barn owls reveals widespread contamination with #rodenticides,while systematic monitoring is lacking in many countries.This is precisely where the agricultural and hunting lobbies intertwine:instead of promoting natural predators as allies,they defend poisoning strategies
