Around 8:27 a.m. local time, the second eaglet, Gizmo, could be seen on the Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam standing on a branch before beginning to flap her wings and soar off into the air. Her first attempt looked to be unsuccessful, as she quickly latched back onto a branch, but she tried again successfully a few seconds later.

Friends of Big Bear Valley announced the news on Facebook on Monday with a clip from the live camera feed at the nest perched on a tree in Southern California's San Bernardino County. The nonprofit has been monitoring the eaglets, named Sunny and Gizmo, since they hatched in early March.

Younger sister Gizmo looked on in astonishment as Sunny took to the sky over Big Bear Lake for the first time on Monday morning.
