* The Big Bear Nest Diaries: Luna and Sandy spent their first night in charge of the nest! 🥳 We observed a few wing-slaps + back-talk from Fiona! 😁Both eaglets are 60 days old today! 😍 The chicks’ breakfast started a bit later today at 10:41 when Jackie delivered a fish, it didn’t take them long to eat it. Sandy even nipped at Luna’s toes trying to get that fish. 🤭Most of the day was full of wingers, eating, and standing on the rails. At 17:45 Luna stood on the rails and nibbled at the camera’s 🎥pole. Looks like it will be another night with the chicks in charge. 🌙 Roost Snug Jackie & Shadow, Luna and Sandy, we love you ♥️
* Quiet Moments: This afternoon , Sandy provided a delightful moment on the nest, eagerly watching and trying to catch the flies buzzing around nearby. With every glance,and quick movement, Sandy showed us how much has taken place over these past weeks. These playful attempts remind us that their eyesight and coordination are developing beautifully. Sometimes the simplest moments tell us the most, and today was a wonderful example of a young eagle learning about the world around them. ♥️
* Daily Fun Fact: “Rails” The sticks on the edge of the nest are called the rails. Jackie and Shadow usually bring bigger sticks for the edge of the nest. Luna 🐥 and Sandy will often go to the rails. At first they will lay there, and then perch on them. Currently they have been doing lots of rail perching. Perching is a common activity that eagles do. Fortunately they do have instincts that tell them not to go too far. The rails tend to be cooler then the nest 🪹 bowl which is one reason why the chicks may go there.
* Daddy Duties: Shadow had 5 nest 🪺 visits. Total nest time for Shadow was 3 hours, 53 min. Bringing 4 fish to His Chicks and Queen Jackie. 🐟
* Munchies and Mutes: Jackie and Shadow served 3 feedings. Luna and Sandy partook in 😋 self-feeding . Full crops were observed on both chicks. 24+ PS🐥(Poop Shots) were sliced, 0 were right on 🎯!!
