KD1 Sparks a New Chapter for Shadow in Big Bear Eagle Nest

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.

Shadow Stays by the Nest as Jackie Reovers?

Shadow remains guarding the Big Bear nest and helping care for Sandy and Luna in Jackie’s absence, with experts saying his strong bond with Jackie makes moving on unlikely for now; while Jackie remains in critical condition after a life-saving transfusion, experts note she could reclaim the nest if she recovers, or potentially start anew with a different mate later, depending on her health and population dynamics.
