    Bad news. A raven seems to have breached the nest and cracked both of the eggs. But it's early in the breeding season, so maybe there's still hope.

          I donโ€™t have them on the tv non-stop like I did last year. But I do check in. It amazes me that the parents are even able to get food in those tiny little chick mouths in the beginning.

              I'm reminded of the Melody Gardot song-- Bad News for some reason.

                The eaglets have fledged. Or in one case, fludged. It's an accidental/unintentional fledge. Both babies seem to be doing fine.

                On Sunday, Sandy fell out of the nest in an accidental fledge. She appeared to be startled by Luna as he attempted to jump over her. Sandy then lost her footing, falling out of the nest in an accidental fledge, or a "fludge."

                Friends of Big Bear Valley said that Sandy appeared to be on another branch below on Sunday, getting her bearings out of the camera's view. Her mother, Jackie, was there right away to keep an eye on Sandy and has been through this with other eaglets in the past.

                In an update on Monday, conservationists with the nonprofit said they heard some distant vocals between Jackie and what they believe is Sandy. Then, in a later update, Friends of Big Bear Valley posted a video showing that Sandy was spotted not too far from Luna, midway up in a tree. They said she was moving around and looking good.
