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.
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.
