Jackie and Shadow’s Big Bear eagle’s nest threatened by construction

California’s most famous feathered couple may fly the coop if a planned luxury housing development is built near their nest.

The Friends of Big Bear — which has been captivating viewers worldwide by filming the day-to-day activities of lovebirds Jackie and Shadow — issued a “last chance” plea to stop the development less than a mile from their nest.

“Over the years, experts have testified and documented that a major housing development would cause ‘significant detrimental impact’ to the Bald Eagles,” the conservation group said in a statement, regarding the proposed project on the north shore of Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino National Forest.

“In addition to impacting Jackie and Shadow’s ability to raise chicks, there is a real possibility they will leave altogether due to the destruction of the North Shore.”

The development, called Moon Camp, consists of 50 luxury residences and a 50-boat marina. The Friends of Big Bear have been battling the project for years and filed several lawsuits to prevent construction.

The group’s latest push centers on a fundraising campaign following the death of beloved Friends of Big Bear Executive Director Sandy Steers, who helped launch the bald eagle cam more than decade ago.

“We need everyone to become Jackie and Shadow’s hero” Steers said before her
death, according to the group.

Viewers worldwide have tuned in through the years to watch the feathered pair, who welcomed their first egg of the year late last month — only for a raven to swoop in and attack the nest while Jackie and Shadow were away.
