Bittersweet fledge watch begins for bald eagles Sunny and Gizmo

Bittersweet fledge watch begins for bald eagles Sunny and Gizmo
SHARE

The internet has been captivated by two young birds named Sunny and Gizmo, who are almost ready to leave their nest for the first time. According to Friends of Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), Fledge Watch for these eaglets officially begins today.

Young eagles typically fledge when they are around 10 to 14 weeks old and have developed the necessary feathers for flight. Males usually take their first flight earlier than females. Sunny and Gizmo have been making significant progress towards this milestone, with both birds showing signs of readiness to take to the skies.

This week’s Fledge Watch is expected to last until mid-June, with the possibility of the process taking longer. Despite the eaglets’ eventual departure from the nest, they are expected to stick around the Big Bear Lake area for at least three months as they learn to fish and hunt while following their parents.

While the fledglings may face threats such as flying into power lines or lead poisoning, FOBBV believes that about 70 percent of bald eagles survive the fledgling stage. The organization is monitoring Sunny and Gizmo closely, as their journey has been closely followed by tens of thousands of viewers via a 24-hour livecam.

The passing of one of the chicks earlier in the year was a poignant moment for viewers, with the deceased chick being named Misty in honor of an FOBBV volunteer who passed away. The remaining chicks were named Sunny and Gizmo by a group of local elementary school students.

As the eaglets continue to grow, slight differences between them are becoming more apparent. Sunny, the older eaglet, has a longer tail and is starting to show white feathers. Gizmo, on the other hand, has a more orange corner of the mouth and a thicker lower lip.

The upcoming Fledge Watch for Sunny and Gizmo is sure to be an emotional and exciting time for both the eaglets and their viewers as they prepare to take their first flight and begin their journey into adulthood. Sunny and Gizmo are two chicks that keep growing and changing rapidly, making it difficult to tell them apart. However, according to FOBBV, there is a unique feature that can help distinguish between the two – Gizmo has a “Mona Lisa smile.”

Gizmo’s smile is described as subtle and enigmatic, much like the famous painting of the Mona Lisa. This distinctive feature sets Gizmo apart from Sunny and makes it easier for birdwatchers to identify each chick.

As the chicks continue to grow and develop, it is important for researchers and bird enthusiasts to closely monitor their progress and behavior. By paying attention to details like Gizmo’s Mona Lisa smile, observers can gain valuable insights into the lives of these fascinating creatures.

In conclusion, the ability to differentiate between Sunny and Gizmo based on their unique characteristics, such as Gizmo’s Mona Lisa smile, is essential for tracking their growth and ensuring their well-being. By carefully observing and documenting these traits, researchers can continue to learn more about these remarkable chicks and their journey to adulthood.
