This is the final necropsy update on everybody's beloved Big Bear Eagle Jackie ♥️

Final Necropsy Findings for Bald Eagle Patient 26-519

The final necropsy and extensive diagnostic testing have provided important answers about the illness and death of patient 26-519, the bald eagle from Big Bear Valley, known publicly as Jackie.

The necropsy revealed a complex and unusual disease process involving severe, chronic inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, persistent internal bleeding, anemia and secondary bacterial sepsis. Further diagnostic testing confirmed Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) within the affected tissues, identifying the virus as an underlying cause of the severe stomach ulceration. Multiple complications developed over time and ultimately contributed to her decline and death.

These findings have helped connect many of the pieces we were seeing throughout her hospitalization and provided a better understanding of the challenges she faced.
We are grateful to the many veterinary specialists, laboratories, wildlife agencies and partner organizations who worked alongside our team to understand her illness and provide her with the best possible care. Caring for her was an extraordinary privilege for our entire team.

For more information about the necropsy findings and Patient 26-519's medical care, please visit the Patient 26-519 section on our website where we have recently updated the FAQ with additional information. We will continue to communicate any important updates with our community. The link to the webpage is in our Linktree in our profile.

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets.

Fake Halloween webs kill innocent Wildlife. Please do not use as many animals getting tangled in them. 

Those wispy strands of faux spider webbing may look harmless, but outdoors they can be deadly to wildlife. Birds and small animals can become tangled in the fine, extremely strong fibers, leaving them unable to escape. Owls, songbirds, chipmunks, bats, and other animals have been found trapped in decorative webbing.

Please skip faux spider webbing when decorating outdoors. There are plenty of ways to make your yard spooky without creating a wildlife trap 🎃

Halloween decorations are fun and festive, but please remember that fake spiderwebs can seriously harm wildlife. Birds, small mammals, snakes, and lizards can all become painfully trapped. Please keep our local animals safe this season and avoid using fake cobwebs outdoors.

So many of us came together cheering for this female coyote, but unfortunately due to her severe injuries it didn't turned out well for her, I will never understand how people could br so cruel to any living creature or human. Its plain evil. Thank you to all for giving her some comfort and peace towards the end. And thank you Wendy for teaching us compassion for the voiceless.
