Facing the Morning Sun

The Eagles favorite view looks toward the East where the Sun rises. Sandy and Luna may have fledged 2 weeks earlier than sisters Sunny and Gizmo in the last brood. Sandy was accidentally knocked off her perch by little brother Luna. Then Luna had to spend the night alone and fledged the next day.

They have the best accommodations (with room service). They know they can fly and make their way back, so they are free to come and go.

Jackie and Shadow will be our Eagle eyes on Earth, and the Goode Solar Telescope our eyes on the Sun.
