First, she circled, and now she has flew!
Eaglet Sunny stretched her wings on Monday and flew out of the family nest for the first time, thrilling fans of the live webcam, which spyed on the Eagle family of the Big Bear family, including Mom Jackie, Dad Shadow and sibling Gizmo.
The video shows Gizmo’s head is whirled as Eagle Park takes off at 10:46 a.m., and the sunny people run away or take off from their nests.
“It’s exciting to have this beautiful, successful moment – at the same time, we don’t see her seeing her again,” said Sandy Steers, executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, a nonprofit that runs 24-hour nest cam. “I’m glad she successfully flew the nest.”
Sometimes, when the eagle racks fly, they don’t come back, Steers told The Times in an earlier interview. But Sonny didn’t go far.
Later Monday morning, one of the camera operators found the Eaglet inhabited the top of a tree near the nearby 145-foot-tall Jeffrey Pine, a mountain range that secured the family’s huge nest.

What will happen next in the sunshine of new independence?
Steers said parents Jackie and Shadow will follow Eaglet to protect her and help her find food anywhere between weeks and months. The Hawks did not reach sexual maturity until they were around the age of 4 to 5.
The first year of life can be dangerous for the eagle. According to the American Eagle Foundation, due to its inexperience, a teenage vulture has less than 50% chance of survival. If they survive, they can live in the wild for 15 to 30 years.
Meanwhile, Gizmo will be 13 weeks on Saturday and has not taken off yet.
Eagles usually protrude from 10 to 14 weeks of age. Until Monday, the two Eagles practiced adventures to tree limbs, and they would bounce their wings and bounce. They also tried hovering – this happens when the eagles catch the wind at the right moment, but it takes their bodies off the ground, but they don’t completely leave the nest.
Sunny, Jackie and Shadow’s fourth eagle, escaped. According to Steers, three have escaped since the camera was installed, which she said was the standard for the course. The webcam was installed in 2015 and recorded its first nesting season in 2017.
