Sandy and Luna’s wing practice at Big Bear turned into a powerful glimpse of what is coming next, as Luna took a small leap back to the nest and both eaglets showed growing confidence on the porches.
The Decorah Eagles nest area in Decorah, Iowa, had that familiar post-fledge energy on June 23, 2026. DH3 and DH4…
Sid was seen walking through the rain on his third day after fledge, while Maz reached a major milestone by fledging from the U.S. Steel bald eagle nest at 84 days old.
Luna reached the Y branch at Big Bear for the first time, bringing Jackie and Shadow’s eaglets one step closer to fledging before returning to Sandy for the sweetest little beaky-kiss moment.
Sandy and Luna’s first flight from the Big Bear eagle nest may feel like goodbye, but for Jackie and Shadow’s young bald eagles, it is really the beginning of everything.
