At 10:46 am this morning, Sunny flew from the upper Y-branch right out into the world! She put up her wings to catch the wind and then jumped up and let those beautiful wings carry her. She circled back around toward Shadow and Jackie’s favorite roost tree… Gizmo watched the whole thing from right beside Sunny. She looked completely fascinated and kept her eyes on Sunny flying away from the nest. …and a bit later, our awesome camera operatiors were able to find Sunny, perching near the top of the roost tree (upper center on the screen) – watch closely and her practice flapping will show you where she is. Sunny may return to the nest…Jackie and Shadow’s previous eaglets have all done that. It is all up to her at this point. But in any case, Jackie and Shadow will be keeping an eye on Sunny, bringing her food, guarding her and teaching her all that she needs to know to be out in the world. All while they also continue taking care of Gizmo. Gizmo probably now has a lot to think about. Congratulations, Sunny! – as we get to feel exuberance of this beautiful success and at the same time, sadness for change that means seeing her less often. Sunny is out in the world!

6/6/2025THANK YOU @FOBBVCAM Cam Ops, Sandy Steers & ALL the dedicated volunteers for allowing us to follow this amazing eagle family! Replying to @Tooie Lyn here who asked near the end of our FOBBV Thursday morning, June 5th morning live chat: "I understand there is a video of the elementary school watching when Sunny fledged. Where can I find that❓" Hoping you'll see my reply: Yes, Arcadia CA 3rd graders cheered - clip is included in ABC News' YouTube video (end of their World News Tonight June 2nd evening broadcast) of Sunny's 1st flight - it's titled "Sunny, one of the closely-watched baby bald eagles, leaves nest for first time" (at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w65wH84jM14&t=72">1:12</a>)

@JustMom-o6u
6/5/2025How worried should we be that Miss G doesn’t seem to want to fledge? She’s great at claiming food, but I haven’t seen her move her wings like Sunny…I hope nothing is wrong with her. I love this family so much! Thank you for sharing them with us.
@southpawje
6/5/2025So once they fledge will they ever return to that same nest or are they completely off on their own?
@floopyc1428
6/5/2025I'm curious, will she ever return to the nest for any reason?

6/4/2025Is there a copy of the poem that was written the day that Sunny fledged? It was so perfect!
@Hayes611
6/4/2025A day late to see this. Eyes a bit watery! A leap of faith. Momentous, beautiful and bittersweet.
