Summary

Jackie Rescued

Veterinarians at Ojai Raptor Center are treating Jackie, a bald eagle rescued after a July attack that left her flightless, anemic and with kidney inflammation.
The center posted a July 27, 2026 video comparing Jackie’s soft call with the dramatic red-tailed hawk sound used in Hollywood.
Friends of Big Bear Valley said a subadult female bald eagle has perched near Shadow since July 22, 2026, likely fought with Jackie.

Summary

Brockmans Donate

Greg and Anna Brockman donated $5.5 million, helping the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust meet its $10 million goal for a 63-acre parcel.
The donation let the Trust close the purchase by July 31.
The parcel, once slated for development, will protect hunting grounds and habitat for local bald eagles.
Friends of Big Bear Valley raised half the target with over 25,000 donors, urging support for Ojai Raptor Center’s Bald Eagle Recovery Campaign.
