[Y9dGHPT1V2M] Health Updated on August 10, 2026 EDT — Published on August 10, 2026 EDT #JackieUpdate Why Did Shadow Stop Chasing the Young Eagle? When Sandy and Luna were still near the nest, Shadow repeatedly chased a young eagle away. Later, after the fledglings were no longer seen on camera, he appeared more tolerant. Why did his behavior change? Young bald eagles still depend on their parents for food and protection for several weeks after their first flight. While Sandy and Luna remained nearby, Shadow still had young to protect. If they have now dispersed, that need may have decreased. Chasing another eagle also uses energy and can lead to injury. Shadow may therefore be tolerating the visitor because there is less reason to drive it away, not because he has accepted a new mate. #BaldEagle #Update #JackieAndShadoow #SandyAndLuna #WildlifeRescue #WildlifeCare #LACountyParks #FriendsOfBigBearValley #SanDimasRaptorRescue #SanBernardinoCountyFire #EagleBehavior #WildlifeFacts Source: Friends of Big Bear Valley; U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Boise State University Visual note: AI-generated visualisation based on factual reporting.
