The eagle, known as Jackie, gained worldwide fame during the Covid-19 pandemic, as a bored public became enraptured by her life in the rugged San Bernardino Mountains. Viewers tuned in to watch her soaring, nesting and squawking over a landscape that was suddenly far less filled with the affairs of human beings.
