According to Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), Fledge Watch for eaglets Sunny and Gizmo officially kicks off today.
Young eagles like Sunny and Gizmo typically fledge–or leave the nest and fly–when they can flatten their wings and have feathers capable of flight.
Over the past several weeks, Sunny and Gizmo have made major progress towards this goal.
This week’s Fledge Watch is expected to be similar to Pip Watch from early March.
A group of students from a local elementary school voted on the names Sunny and Gizmo in early April.
