Jackie, who gained worldwide fame from a camera streaming footage of her nest at Big Bear Lake, died Aug. 10 at the Ojai Raptor Center, where she had been taken to recover after falling ill following a fight with two other bald eagles, the center said.
Since then, her former mate, Shadow, has been seen repeatedly with a bald eagle designated KD-1, the Friends of Big Bear Valley, which operates the livecams, said.
Normally, the organization does not name eagles until they have become long-term residents of the area, it said on Instagram on Wednesday.

“We have chosen to name KD1 Kaydee, whether or not they decide to stay in the area,” the post said. “We cannot know for sure if Kaydee is a female or not, we can only observe and let nature tell us the definitive answer to that question.”
However, observers are “leaning toward” female, the organization said.
Kaydee and Shadow have been spending more time together, including visits to the former nest of Jackie and Shadow, the organization said.
Jackie and Shadow had been together since 2018. Their efforts to hatch and raise offspring at their nest in Southern California became popular with live cam viewers.
