Big Bear Lake’s Eaglets Are Thriving

The Bald Eagle nest at Big Bear Lake has been a source of joy and wonder for eagle enthusiasts this season, and the two eaglets, Gizmo and Sunny, are growing up fast! If you’ve been following their journey on the Bald Eagle webcam, you’ve likely seen just how much they’ve changed in just a few short weeks.

From Fluffy Chicks to Strong Juveniles

It feels like only yesterday that Jackie and Shadow, the devoted eagle parents, were carefully tending to their tiny, downy chicks. Now, Gizmo and Sunny are nearly as big as their parents, with their juvenile feathers coming in strong. Their wings are developing rapidly, and it won’t be long before they take their first thrilling flights out of the nest a milestone known as fledging.

A Rare Family Portrait

One of the most heartwarming moments recently captured was a full family shot, with both Jackie and Shadow in the nest alongside their growing eaglets. These majestic birds are a testament to the resilience of wildlife and the success of conservation efforts. Seeing them all together is a reminder of the incredible bond these eagles share.

What’s Next for Gizmo and Sunny?

As the eaglets continue to exercise their wings with vigorous flapping and short hops, they’re preparing for their first big leap into the sky. Fledging typically happens around 10-12 weeks of age, so we’re getting close to that exciting moment! Once they fledge, they’ll still rely on their parents for food and guidance as they hone their flying and hunting skills.
