Demand Public Updates on Bald Eagle Jackie's Recovery
The Issue
Jackie is one of the most-watched birds in America. For years, millions of people across the country have tuned in to the Big Bear Valley Bald Eagle Cam to follow her life — her nests, her eaglets, her bond with her mate Shadow. When news broke that she had been found on the ground near Big Bear Lake and rushed to the Ojai Raptor Center in critical condition, people everywhere were heartbroken.
But heartbreak has turned to frustration. Fans and wildlife advocates are struggling to get clear, consistent information about Jackie's condition and care. She received a blood transfusion from another eagle — a remarkable and risky procedure — yet the public that has followed her for years deserves to know what comes next.
Jackie is more than a beloved bird. She is a federally protected bald eagle, a symbol of American wildlife recovery, and proof that conservation works when people pay attention. The agencies and organizations responsible for her care have a responsibility to keep the public informed — not just with vague status updates, but with meaningful transparency about her diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis.
Sign this petition to demand that the Ojai Raptor Center and California Department of Fish and Wildlife commit to regular, detailed public updates on Jackie's condition. The millions who love her deserve to know.
