It may not have been pretty for Gizmo, but she and her fellow eaglet, Sunny, have officially embarked on their first flights from their nest in California’s Big Bear Valley. Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV) shared the news on Facebook this week.

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.
