The beloved bald eagle Jackie from Big Bear Lake has been found alive but injured after a fight with other birds, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley. The advocacy group operates a live nestcam that has made Jackie and her partner Shadow viral sensations. Observers first spotted the eagle on the ground last Thursday, then witnessed a "short ground altercation with two other subadult eagles" on Friday.

The injured bird was rescued by San Dimas Raptor Rescue, a division of Los Angeles County Parks Foundation. While initial reports were uncertain about the eagle's identity, Friends of Big Bear Valley now believes the rescued eagle is indeed Jackie.
