Sandy returned to the Big Bear eagle nest with a thunderous landing, claimed Shadow’s fish, and discovered something new near the camera.
Sandy and Luna faced one of their boldest tests yet on July 9, 2026, when a sub adult eagle flew straight at them with talons out. What happened next showed just how much Jackie and Shadow’s young eagles are learning.
Sandy returned to the Big Bear eagle nest after her accidental fledge, reuniting with Luna as Shadow delivered fish and the young eagles settled back into nest life.
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.
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.
