Big Bear Valley Eaglet Takes First Flight: A Moment of Joy and Anticipation A heartwarming event unfolded Monday morning at Big Bear Valley in California. Eaglet Sunny, from the Big Bear eagle family, took its first flight, a moment captured by a live webcam and shared by The Los Angeles Times. The video shows Sunny's successful takeoff at 10:46 a.m., with her sibling Gizmo observing from the nest. The event has captivated viewers worldwide. "It's exciting to have this beautiful, successful moment," said Sandy Steers, executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley. However, there's also a touch of sadness, as Steers noted, "At the same time, sad that we won't be seeing her as much anymore." This bittersweet sentiment reflects the natural cycle of life and the eaglet's journey toward independence. Later that morning, Sunny was found perched safely in a nearby tree, showcasing her newfound skills. Her sibling, Gizmo, who is 13 weeks old, has yet to take its first flight. The Big Bear eagle family continues to provide a fascinating spectacle for nature enthusiasts and webcam viewers alike, offering a glimpse into the wild beauty of Big Bear Valley.
