Jackie, beloved Big Bear bald eagle watched by millions, dies - The Desert Sun

A global sensation over the last decade, her remote nest overlooked California's Big Bear Lake. People tuned in from all over to watch her battle brutal snowstorms, diligently raise her eaglets, and just live her wild life. The Ojai Raptor Center announced her passing Monday.

Her death leaves a real hole for the enormous online community who felt personally invested in her daily existence. It truly shows how much we connect with nature, even if it's playing out on a screen a thousand miles from the South Plains Mall. It's a universal feeling.

A single wild creature managed to capture the consistent attention of millions, a feat most human celebrities never achieve.
