Big Bear Eaglet Sunny’s First Flight Leaves Viewers Wondering—Will She Return?

Excitement soared in Southern California’s Big Bear Valley as Sunny, the first eaglet of the season from the famous bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow, took her inaugural flight from the nest at:46 a.m. on June. The moment, watched live by thousands on the Big Bear Eagle Cam operated by Friends of Big Bear Valley, marked a milestone for the 12-week-old eaglet and her devoted fanbase.

Sunny’s first flight was a textbook fledge: after days of practice flapping and hopping along the nest’s edge, she caught the wind and glided toward her parents’ favorite roosting tree nearby. Camera operators quickly located her perched near the top, safe and in view for eagle enthusiasts following her every move.

But the suspense didn’t end there. True to form for young eagles, Sunny returned to the nest the following day, reuniting with her sibling Gizmo, who is still preparing for her own first flight. Parents Jackie and Shadow continue to watch over both eaglets, providing food and guidance as they navigate this critical phase of development..

Sunny’s journey has captivated viewers and underscored the importance of wildlife conservation efforts led by Friends of Big Bear Valley. As Gizmo readies for her own leap, all eyes remain glued to the live cam, waiting to see what the next chapter holds for Big Bear’s beloved eagle family.
