Here's Amy King. 5 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.280 This is your wake up call for Tuesday, June third. 6 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.719 I'm Amy King. We're flying high on wake up call 7 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:41.600 this morning. Not that way flying high. We're not high 8 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.200 because our little Sonny left the nest sunny West. Will 9 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.600 comes in this morning, sits down and goes, I'm a 10 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.560 little concerned, And I said why, and he goes, there's 11 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.119 only one bird in the nest. And I said, that's 12 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.359 because Sonny flew away. I know, but she did what 13 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.679 she was supposed to do. She's around, she's not far by. 14 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.399 She's not far away. In case you haven't heard, Sonny, 15 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.799 the older of the two sisters the eagles in Big 16 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.719 Bear Lake, left the nest yesterday. In fact, I found 17 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.920 out about it because I had just driven home from 18 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.480 work and I found out about it because I got 19 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.239 a text from Will. All it said was OMG ten 20 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.439 forty six fifteen, and that's when Sonny left the nest. 21 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.400 So you can go back and check it out and 22 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.439 I'm already on the YouTube at Friends of Big Bear Valley. 23 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.959 They are searching around now to try to find Sonny. 24 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.920 She was in one of the trees what they call 25 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.719 the roosting tree for Jackie in Shadow yesterday, but who 26 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.879 knows where she is this morning. But she Oh my goodness, 27 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.040 it was so cool to see her fly away. 28 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.200 She looks like it was just casual. 29 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.719 She did a great job. She did a great job. 30 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.599 I think all that practice helped. And then Gizmo's just 31 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.920 sitting there like, uh, hello, whe'd go. Isn't that cool? 32 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.400 There were like seventy thousand people watching it yesterday. Anyway, 33 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.200 we're talking to Sandy Steers, Friends of Big Bear Valley 34 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.280 at the bottom of the hour. You're gonna want to 35 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.439 stick around for that. I know she's making the rounds 36 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.240 on all the media stations. We get her first this morning, 37 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.960 and she's going to be telling us, you know, what's next. 38 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.800 Are we going to see Sonny again? When is gizmoment 39 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.840 going to maybe take off? There's lots of questions to ask, 40 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.000 so again we'll be talking to Sandy Steers at the 41 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.759 bottom of the hour. Here's what's ahead on wake Up call. 42 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.599 Police are looking for three robbers who broke into a 43 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.879 home in Delray and zip tied the people inside. Police 44 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.479 say one of the people was able to escape from 45 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.039 the home last night and ran over to a community 46 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.080 police station to get help. At least two of the 47 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.879 robbers are said to have guns. A judge has blocked 48 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.599 the Trump administration from using the seventeen to ninety eight 49 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.319 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants in the LA Area. 50 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.520 Used District Judge John Holcomb, who was appointed by Trump 51 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.319 in his first term, issued the ruling yesterday, saying the 52 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.960 government hasn't promised the migrants due process. As I mentioned Sonny, 53 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.960 he's left the nests. The first of the two baby 54 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.639 eagles in the nest high above Big Bear Lake that 55 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.080 thousands have been watching every day has flown off. Sonny's 56 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.759 the older of the two that hatched more than twelve 57 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.319 weeks ago. The younger eagle, Gizmo's, expected to fledge or 58 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.280 fly away kinda any time. In the meantime, her parents, 59 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.000 Jackie and Shadow, continue to visit the nests to feed 60 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.879 Gizmo and protect her until she's ready to fly. Israel 61 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.800 says it is not randomly attacking Palestinians despite what hamas 62 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.800 led groups inside the Gaza strips say. ABC's Jodona Miller 63 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.319 is going to join us in about two or three 64 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.479 minutes to tell us more about that. If you've got 65 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.360 parents or grandparents, ABC's Jim Ryan says, bad guys are 66 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.240 going after them. He's going to tell us what they're 67 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.840 doing and what you can do to help keep your 68 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.520 parents and grandparents money safe. And an interesting new trend 69 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.039 for millionaires, they're renting instead of buying. Joel Larsgard is 70 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.639 going to join us at five point fifty and tell 71 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.840 us why that's happening. And again Sandy with friends of 72 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.360 Big Bear Valley talking about our little eagle who left 73 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.520 the nest. That's coming up at just after five point thirty. 74 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.719 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller, 75 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.399 who's in Jerusalem. Jordana reports out of the Gaza strip 76 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.360 are that Israeli troops fired on Palestinian civilians who are 77 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.680 trying to get humanitarian aid. US Ambassador to the UN 78 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.160 Mike Huckabee has pushed back on that. 79 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.319 What's the saying, Well, Mike Huckabee is calling a lot 80 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.120 of the reporting by some of the main networks in. 81 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:35.920 The United States. 82 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.120 He named CNN and others as inaccurate. Here's what we 83 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.920 do know. Early this morning, in a scene that resembles 84 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:51.439 what happened on Sunday, about somewhere between half a mile 85 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.160 to three quarters of a mile away from the distribution 86 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.040 center that's been set up. There's been several of them. 87 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.720 This is a new initiative back by the Americans and 88 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.199 the Israelis to distribute food directly to gosins and try 89 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.560 to keep it out of the hands of Hamas early 90 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.680 this morning, thousands had gathered to go into that distribution 91 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.600 center when it opened at about six am. And it appears, 92 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.399 according to the Israeli Army, that some of this crowd 93 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.920 rushed one of the Israeli army positions outside of the 94 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:31.920 distribution center, and Israel opened fire warning shots, and then 95 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.360 it appears shots on the crowd to move them away 96 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.839 from this area, and in the end, about twenty seven 97 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.759 people were killed, several dozens of others injured. Again, this 98 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.920 isn't at the site where people are gathering or getting food. 99 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.959 It's not even in the perimeter right there of the 100 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.160 distri distribution center. But you know, some way some five 101 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.279 hundred to a thousand yards away from there. So it's 102 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.120 not civilians who are getting food, but it's people who 103 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.560 were waiting in line to go who The Israeli armies say, 104 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:14.079 we're rushing their positions, and the Israeli armies that their 105 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.639 troops were endangered. Clearly, this new system of distributing aid 106 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.600 has a lot of problems. And here's the main one. 107 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.800 That it to ask people to go through active combat zones, 108 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.560 to line up in areas that are not exactly safe, 109 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.600 and after almost two years of this conflict, to think 110 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.399 that there won't be some in the crowd who might 111 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.279 try to clash or engage with the Israeli army, I 112 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.279 mean it's likely, and then we have deadly scenes like 113 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.199 we have this morning, likely a version of what happened 114 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.040 on Sunday. The Israeli Army this time put out a 115 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.680 statement right away saying they did fire warning shots, they 116 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.279 people did approach godsans did approach their soldiers, and that 117 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.279 they know that there were, you know, some casualties. 118 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.279 Okay, So Jordana, if they're saying we're here to give 119 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:16.000 you aid and help and they're still getting rushed, by 120 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.240 the crowds. Is that just a factor of the of 121 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.319 the desperation or why aren't they Why aren't the people 122 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.279 listening and staying back and staying in line? What's causing 123 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:30.199 this to escalate? 124 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.519 Well, first of all, I mean this is the first 125 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.519 week we've seen the system up and running, and clearly 126 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.519 it has some problems that have not and kinks that 127 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.439 have not been worked out, and there's you know, widespread 128 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:52.600 hunger and desperation. And again, the expectation that people would 129 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.720 quietly wait in line for hours and there would not 130 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.480 be any disturbances, you know, is in many senses dream 131 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.519 right when this is you know, almost two years into 132 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.040 a major war. So these issues have to be addressed, 133 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.560 and whether that is pushing the uh you know, creating 134 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.399 longer quarters for people to travel uh into the areas. 135 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.079 Because at the actual distribution sites, there hasn't been a 136 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.040 lot of violence. I mean, certainly people have been coming 137 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.600 in and taking aid. The center itself. The Gods of 138 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.879 Humanitarian Foundation says something like six million meals have been 139 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.200 distributed in a week. That may sound like a lot, 140 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.480 but when there's you know, over two million people, you know, 141 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.759 that's just three meals per person in a week, right, 142 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.840 it's not it's not a ton of food, but remember 143 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.759 a meal. Also, at the same time, there's about one 144 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.399 hundred trucks of ague going in and being distributed, you know, 145 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.320 along the old lines of distribution, that is going up 146 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.679 to warehouses and from there being just contributed to the 147 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.240 two gossms. So there's two systems working in tandem. All 148 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.440 of it together is still not enough though. 149 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.279 Okay, well, hopefully they'll get it figured out because they 150 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.919 this is not looking good, you know, for the Israeli's efforts, 151 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.360 and they're saying we're trying to help, we're trying to 152 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.720 get aid in and then shooting and killing people. So 153 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.440 ABC's Jordana Miller, thanks as always for the information. We 154 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.440 appreciate it. Tuck, all right, take care. Good morning. I'm 155 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.039 Amy King. Thanks so much for starting your beautiful sunny 156 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.600 day with us. Although we have drizzle in the forecast 157 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.080 in some areas, but beautiful in Burbank, and it's beautiful 158 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.240 in the skies above Big Bear Lake where Gizmo is 159 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.799 up and flapping this morning. Here's what we're following in 160 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.399 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Some people who lost 161 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.240 their homes in the wildfire in January say they're not 162 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.759 sure they're going to be able to rebuild. It's not 163 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.879 that they don't want to, they say they're wary of 164 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.799 government officials not moving fast enough, and say leadership just 165 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.159 isn't there to get the job done. A project recovery 166 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.200 survey shows that for every year it takes to get 167 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.720 back in to rebuild, twenty percent will sell instead. Harvey 168 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.360 Weinstein's not expected to take the stand in his sex 169 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.799 crimes retrial in New York. Closing arguments are expected today 170 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.559 following about six weeks of testimony. He was convicted in 171 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.720 twenty twenty twenty twenty, but that conviction was thrown out. 172 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:25.679 Weinstein maintains that all the sex he had was consensual. 173 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.200 The twenty four witnesses in this trial have disputed that. 174 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.639 La County marks the start of Pride Month with a 175 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.799 flag raising at the City Administration Building in downtown La 176 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.000 this morning. It'll be followed with another Pride flag raising 177 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.279 at the County Department of Public Social Services in industry. 178 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.600 The theme of Pride Month this year Pride. It begins 179 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.320 with us the La Pride Parade that starts at sunset 180 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.799 and Highland happens on Sunday. Let's say good morning now 181 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.120 to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, if you have parents 182 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.759 or grandparents, you got to listen up because there's bad 183 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.799 guys out there and a lot of them are coming 184 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.679 after your parents and grandparents. 185 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.399 Well they are and having some success Saturday. I may 186 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.200 if you look at the FBI statistics for twenty twenty four, 187 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.200 and that's the latest year they have, there were one 188 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.279 hundred and forty seven thousand complaints filed by people sixty 189 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.399 and up. Now his people are getting ripped off by 190 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.159 scammers out there. The total loss is four point eight 191 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.039 billion dollars. Do the math there and that's eighty three 192 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.279 thousand dollars the average laws to someone over sixty through 193 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.360 one of these scamps eighty three thousand dollars. That means 194 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.840 that some people got lost much much more than the 195 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.559 case out of Florida that just came to light. A man, 196 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.919 a ninety two year old man in Sun City, Florida, 197 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:45.080 got into an online relationship he thought a romantic relationship. 198 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.159 This person asked him for money time and time again. 199 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.679 He ended up emptying out his bank account eight hundred 200 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.600 thousand dollars. Turns out it wasn't a woman that you 201 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.519 know in this romance that he was expecting. It was 202 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.279 a prisoner, somebody in the Florida State prison, some guy 203 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.039 who had gotten hold of a cell phone in his 204 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.759 cell and was perpetrating these scams on people. And it's 205 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.399 pervasive across the country. 206 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.240 Okay, so guys, even when you're ninety two, you don't 207 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.360 probably unless you have a lot of money, probably aren't 208 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.559 going to have some young hot thing coming after you. 209 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.799 Well, people want to believe what the heart wants, what 210 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.080 the heart wants, amy. 211 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.000 All right, So that's that's one one what they want.

Let's say 273 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.320 good morning to Sandy Steers with friends of Big Bear Valley. 274 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.200 A very exciting morning, Sandy. 275 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.519 Hi, Yes, it is very exciting. 276 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.360 I yeah, so tell us. So Sonny left the nest 277 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.720 at ten forty six fifteen yesterday morning. Her first flight 278 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.240 caught on video and she flew like a champ. 279 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.240 She did. Yes, she jumped off and took off. 280 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.159 And how long did she fly? Because I also saw 281 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.039 another view where they showed a kind of a wide 282 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.840 angle of her kind of swooping around and flying around 283 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.679 the tree. Basically, did she fly for very long or 284 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.120 did she? Was it a short one? 285 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.120 It was? It was a long one for a first one. 286 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.159 But she flew around the tree and over to the 287 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.080 roof tree that Jackie and Shadow's favorite roofs tree. So 288 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:13.200 that's where she still lives. 289 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:16.279 Okay, So, and that's really interesting to me. Will and 290 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.519 I were talking about it earlier because we were like, 291 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.200 so did she do they watch them? So they kind 292 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.440 of like she had probably an idea like well that's 293 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.600 where mom and dad go or was that just kind 294 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.600 of where she landed. We don't really know because we 295 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.399 don't know what's in her. 296 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.360 Head, right, We don't know, but I'm sure she's seen 297 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.080 them go there often, so it might have looked like 298 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.039 a destination. 299 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.559 Okay. And has she flown again since yesterday morning? Or 300 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:40.480 she just hanging out now? 301 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.759 She's just hanging out still. 302 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.759 And I saw a picture, Sandy of the three of 303 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.919 them all that same tree. Is that correct? 304 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.279 Yes? Yeah, Jackie and Shadow spent the night there, and 305 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.399 she's there a little bit above where they are. 306 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.320 And poor little Gizmos all alone for the very first time, 307 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.079 I've seeing him in the nest, seeing her in the nest. 308 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.519 She's been flapping around pretty good. So do we have 309 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.000 any Do we have any kind of idea how long 310 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.240 it's going to be before Gizmo takes off? 311 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.599 No, we really don't. It's totally up to her. This 312 00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.799 could make her leave sooner, it could make her wait longer. 313 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:20.720 We don't know. 314 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.400 Okay. And then what about Sonny, the older of the two, 315 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.480 heading back to the nest. Are we expecting that to happen? 316 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.119 Well, we try not to set up expectations in general, 317 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.559 but all the other eagles have the eaglets. When they've left, 318 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.440 they did come back to the nest in sometimes a day, 319 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.920 sometimes a few days. So we'll see what she does next. 320 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.400 Okay. And now that she Sonny is out of the nest, 321 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.319 how does she get her food because she doesn't have 322 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.960 Jackie and Shadow bringing it up to the nest for 323 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.559 her anymore. 324 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.039 Well, Jackie and Shadow will still be bringing her food. 325 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.200 We'll still be protecting her and guarding her and following 326 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.000 her around as she follows them around, so she can 327 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.400 learn how to live, how to fish, how to find 328 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.680 food in general. Yes, they'll be with her. 329 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.119 Okay, that's so, that's very reassuring. And then here's another 330 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.680 question for you, Sandy. Like the eaglets sleep in the 331 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.480 nest and they lay down, but now Sonny doesn't have 332 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.559 anywhere to lay down. So does she sleep just holding 333 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.119 on to the branch like mom and Dad do. 334 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.720 Yes, she does, and she has, in fact, for the 335 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:31.920 past couple of weeks at least been off and on 336 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.240 sleeping standing up, and so has Gizmo. They learned that early, 337 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.839 and their talons, their toenails, their toes lock into place 338 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.680 when they fall asleep, so they're good standing on the branch. 339 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:49.240 Okay, so this morning, Gizmo is already up, and Gizmo, 340 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.079 of course the eagle that's still in the nest, and 341 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.480 I've seen her flapping her wings. Are there any kind 342 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.640 of telltale signs, because like with Sonny, it looked like 343 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.799 Sonny was ready to go, I haven't seen that with 344 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.960 Gizmo as much yet. 345 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.200 Right, Yeah, Gizmo hasn't looked as ready as Sonny did. 346 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.319 Gizmo seems to like to lay in the nest and 347 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:11.119 have mom feeder. 348 00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.599 She's lazy. She's lazy, But so far she looks really 349 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.440 like there's there's no concern or anything because there's still 350 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.920 a good window for her to fledge. 351 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.119 Oh totally. And she's four days younger than than Sonny anyway, 352 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:26.640 so yes, there's plenty of time. 353 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.960 Okay. And with other eagles, have oh, she just kind 354 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.279 of hopped up into the attic with other eagles, have 355 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.960 you noticed that when one of them leaves the nest 356 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.119 that it spurs the other one to go. 357 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.079 We haven't ever had two, so we don't know. 358 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.839 So it's a wait and see. It's a wait and see, 359 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.839 all right, And what should be we should be watching 360 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.240 for in the next few days, Sandy, just. 361 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.559 When you know her doing flapping and practicing and being 362 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.240 out on the different branches and h and also looking 363 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.599 for maybe Sonny.
