Luna reached the high perch at the Big Bear eagle nest, then made a bold dismount back to the nest. Now both eaglets are deep in the fledge window.
Sandy and Luna thought breakfast had arrived at the Big Bear eagle nest, but Shadow delivered a big stick instead. The surprise sparked loud complaints, teamwork, and one hilarious branch manager training session.
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 the eaglet stunned Big Bear eagle cam viewers on June 10, 2026, after trying to swallow Jackie’s fish delivery whole. What started as a bold grab quickly turned into a surprising sibling lesson as Luna stayed close, waited for an opening, and eventually claimed a share of the meal.
Luna has stepped beyond the Big Bear nest bowl, entering the branching stage before first flight. She has not fledged yet, but the nest is beginning to feel like a launchpad.
