KD1 Sparks a New Chapter for Shadow in Big Bear Eagle Nest
TL;DR Summary
Following Jackie’s death, Shadow has been seen with a new potential mate, KD1 (Katie), in the Big Bear nest. The pair were observed spending time together, touching beaks and moving sticks, fueling hopes she could become his mate. Katie, born in 2022 in Orange County and banded as KD1, may be a candidate as fans cope with Jackie’s passing, though it’s unclear if they’ll mate this season, since California’s mating hormones typically rise in December–January and Big Bear hosts many visiting eagles during summer.
