Big Bear's beloved bald eagles Jackie and Shadow have welcomed their first egg of 2025! I was among 700 people in the hall to hear Donald Trump address the World Economic Forum in Davos. I wondered whether his blunt style landed.

"The egg and Jackie are both fine. Congratulations to her for an efficient, smooth delivery!" Friends of Big Bear Valley wrote.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed that the black bear that attacked a man over the weekend in Jim Thorpe tested positive for rabies. The incident happened on Sunday, Jan. 19, as Jim Thrope resident Andrew Neirer was walking to the store on a trail near his house.

A man was attacked by a hungry bear on his way home from the grocery store on Sunday, only to be saved by his quick-thinking neighbor. The man, named Andrew Nierer, was attacked by the small black bear on a street in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, after walking back from the store along a trail through the woods.

A rabies diagnosis following a bear attack that injured a man in Carbon County explains the aggression, officials say.
