Big Bear's Resident Bald Eagles

Meet Jackie and Shadow

Read the story about Jackie and Shadow. These two bald eagles are known to be full time Big Bear Lake residents, which is rare. More commonly Bald Eagles "winter" in Big Bear Lake since the lake rarely freezes over. In the winter, the lake provides an abundance of food for these birds. Interestingly, Jackie is not the first bald eagle to become a full time resident, her parents were.
