A newly released report sheds new light on the death of Jackie, the famous bald eagle mother who died in August. An autopsy revealed that Jackie died of pathogenic avian influenza, also known as bird flu.
Jackie became famous thanks to a webcam placed in the Eagle’s Nest 10 years ago, near the shores of Big Bear Lake, about 75 miles east of Los Angeles. Millions of viewers watched her love story with her partner, Shadow, as they fought year after year to protect their eggs and chicks from predatory crows, heavy snowfalls and windstorms.
