Jackie and Shadow: Fledge Watch
Eaglets Sandy and Luna hatched on Easter, April 5, 2026. They successfully fledged on June 28 and June 29, 2026, about 12 weeks later. Sandy went first after her little brother knocked her off balance. It was a shocking descent but she was good after a little rest with Jacking watching over her. After a night alone in the nest, Luna launched and found his way to his Father’s a roosting tree.
Sandy and Luna are out in the wild, learning how to eat on a branch when Mom or Dad make deliveries. Fiona the flying squirrel is foraging in the nest while no one is home.
