It’s been awhile, but I posted on the eagle couple Jacqueline and Shadow in Big Bear Valley in California.

I hope you all have been following them, too

The channel is called FOBBV on YouTube.

They just successfully raised two eaglets Sunny and Gizzy.

Now they are being threatened by fireworks for the 4th.

There’s a petition of 26,000 people against the fireworks because the eaglets are not skilled in catching their food and still rely on Jackie and Shadow for food.

Last year, Jackie and Shadow left Big Bear for days after the fireworks display because they and the rest of the wildlife were frightened.

If the fireworks are allowed to go on, the two eaglets would be in danger.

It’s good that so many signed a petition, but their concern is ignored. It would be better if 26,000 people showed up to protest.

I haven’t lit fireworks since the 90s . I think it’s a juvenile thing to do and the damage they will cause the eagles and other wildlife is unforgivable. It’s instant gratification with lasting damage.

If you can make the trip this 4th of July weekend, please do! God Bless you if you make the effort.
