In the mountains above Big Bear, California, a bald eagle named Jackie lived and died as wild creatures do — but not without witness. Through years of live-stream cameras trained on her nest, she became an unlikely bridge between the remote natural world and millions of people who would never otherwise have known her. Her death this week, following a prolonged illness, has drawn an outpouring of grief and generosity that speaks to something quietly profound: that genuine care for the wild can take root even across a screen, and that such care, once rooted, does not easily let go.
