Big Bear eagle Gizmo takes first flight from nest in California, joining sister Sunny after weeks of anticipation
Read Original Source
Big Bear eagles Jackie and Shadow are officially empty nesters after their second eaglet took flight from the comfort of the nest on Saturday. Around 8:27 a.m. local time, the second eaglet, Gizmo, could be seen on the Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam standing on a branch before beginning to flap her wings and soar off into the air. Her first attempt looked to be unsuccessful, as she quickly latched back onto a branch, but she tried again successfully a few seconds later. The flight didn't seem to last long.
