Steve Miller's 1976 hit "Fly Like an Eagle" provides the soundtrack to a video from Friends of Big Bear Valley that has been monitoring two eaglets -- Sunny and Gizmo -- and their first flight from a nest perched on a tree in Southern California’s San Bernardino County.
Sunny flew from the nest this past Monday morning, with a post saying, “She put up her wings to catch the wind and then jumped up and let those beautiful wings carry her.”
Commenting on the video and the use of his song, Miller says, "Sunny takes flight! Thanks to Friends of Big Bear Valley for sharing this beautiful moment. Wishing [the parents] Jackie and Shadow, and the little eaglets, Sunny and Gizmo, a wonderful life – may they thrive and soar.”
Friends of Big Bear Valley has been monitoring Jackie and Shadow since two eggs were spotted in the nest in 2023. Those eggs never hatched, but obviously they had better luck this spring.
A third chick died in mid-March following a winter storm.
