Wildlife advocates are sounding the alarm as Jackie and Shadow, a well-known bald eagle pair nesting in Big Bear Lake, California, are raising eaglets just as Fourth of July fireworks events are set to begin. A petition circulating online warns that the loud booms, bright flashes, and smoke from fireworks near the nest could severely stress or disorient the baby eagles, possibly causing them to fall from the nest or abandon it altogether. The eaglets are still developing and rely heavily on a calm, stable environment. Conservationists and eagle watchers are urging local officials to relocate fireworks displays or implement buffer zones to protect the sensitive wildlife. The petition has quickly gained thousands of supporters, calling for a more wildlife-friendly celebration that ensures both freedom and safety—for all species.
