BIG BEAR, Calif. (KABC) — It appears Jackie’s long-time partner, Shadow, has a new friend.<\/p>\n

Friends of Big Bear Valley shared a video<\/a> from the live nest cam<\/a> that shows two bald eagles on the nest.<\/p>\n

FOBBV says Shadow’s last visit to the nest was on July 23, but on Thursday he returned with another eagle.<\/p>\n

The organization says Shadow’s new friend is tagged “KD1,” but they have not confirmed if it’s a female or male. However, FOBBV added that in “comparing size against Shadow, KD1 is larger. Female eagles are 25-33% larger than males.”<\/p>\n

KD1 hatched in March 2022 in Southern California, making it 4 1\/2 years old, according to the organization.<\/p>\n

“KD1 first visited the nest on 8\/10, just hours after it was announced Jackie had passed and has stopped by a couple of times since then,” FOBBV said on their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both eagles spend several minutes together before flying off the nest.<\/p>\n

Jackie died on Monday after a serious illness.<\/p>\n
