Eaglet update - Sunny likes to flap his wings!

Eaglet update!

Well, Big Bear eaglets are getting up there. They're starting 10 weeks and eaglets are known to start fledging (flying away from the nest) anywhere between 10-14 weeks.

Here's a nice update with the local news channel.



For the most part, it's Sunny that you see flapping it's wings (we still don't know if sunny and gizmo are boys are girls, though I think girl eagles are typically bigger than boy eagles)

Gizmo doesn't flap it's wings as much. Sunny is the show off. haha.

The first born Eaglet was lost in a snowstorm in early to mid March. Sunny was the 2nd one hatched, and Gizmo was the 3rd one hatched.

Jackie and Shadow still feed them feesh and every so often bring in a rabbit or some other small critter, but I think the eaglets much prefer the feesh.

Shadow is teaching Sunny how to build a nest and he's more receptive to nest building. Gizmo gets interested in things after Sunny gets interested in things. Both are self-feeing now, but Jackie and Shadow feed them on occasion.

I'll try to do another update in about a week if nothing exciting happens between now and then.


If you get a chance check out my poem about eagles. I trying for a patriotic vibe since they are the national bird.
