You could tell she was ready early this morning. She was so restless and couldn’t sit still!
It’s like she’s been flying her whole life! She’s a natural 🥰🦅
Yaaay Spirit!
Momma and Daddy are watching and keeping an eye on her ❤️❤️❤️
Mom and Dad were where they could watch her...they knew. Graceful flying by the valley princess!
I believe it's better that Spirit fledged in the morning bc it gives her a whole day to orient herself and Jackie and Shadow to monitor and support her...What a sight to see her fly!
She looks joyous ~ she's having a good time, like she just got her driver's license 😀

Spirit picked such a perfect moment to fledge! Emotional watching in such a beautiful morning.
Spirit isn't just flying - She's SOARING!!! This brought a tear to my eye. What an incredible sight, to see such a gorgeous and mighty creature experience and enjoy the freedom of flight for the first time!

An what a relief! I was worried she was going to fall like a rock out of that nest….. Super ending!
Spirit, you go girl!! Daddy Shadow is watching you. 💜
You all know at this point it’s been six hours, if she is soaring as effortlessly as it appears, her tree landing must be working out well too. Aloha
💕💕😍😍😍😍😍😍💕💕 💕💕BEAUTIFUL😍😍 So happy we got to see this💕💕
G EVENING CALI..THANK YOU SO MUCH..TEARY EYED..WONDERFULL PARENTS..GAVE HER ALL THE SKILLS TO BECOME THE EAGLE THAT JACKIE AND SHADOW ARE..WONDERFULL JOB ALL OF YOU DO TO GIVE US INSITE ON A WORLD WE WOULD NOT SEE ALL OF IT OTHER WISE..BIG WORLD SHE HAS WANTED TO SEE FOR AWHILE NOW..MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU CALI AND FOBBV AND ALL WHO HAVE MADE THIS POSSIBLE..FLY HIGH SWEETHEART,,ENJOY YOUR NEW ADVENTURE
Ima loving Spirit making flybys on camera. She IS Spirit (and courage).
You go girl ... Dad got your back ... That wind beneath your wings looks great💖💖
YES!! She is still there ❤️
Its helpful to see her , the sightings, knowing she is ok.. She looks happy-go-lucky ☺ flying by as she is meant to do..
Cali, you are best. You always know what we want. 😘 Spirit was so bored at the nest the last few days. Exploring every little thing minutely. Now she’s got a whole world to investigate. I bet she is over the moon happy. 🦅😎
Such a glorious sight. Thank You
Thank you Cali Condor!
It’s those good genes that she has! J & S are such awesome eagle parents!

"Look Daddy....wheeeee!!!!!" Thank you for this clip, CC! (And for all of them these past months!!!) It's so reassuring to see and helps with the empty-nest sadness we're all feeling! Spirit is spectacular! So good to see her in her element, doing so well what she is supposed to do, and seeming to enjoy herself!
She’s flying so beautifully ❤️
Crazy isn't it? I mean we need over a year just to get on our feet, while this beautiful animal learns how to fly within months. And yeah, eventually we can do math, science and figure out nicer ways to eat those fishes, but to just jump out of your bed on a confident day to soar the skies, that must be an ultimate high.
Wonderful! Seeing her again has eased my worries a bit.😀💕

Just look at our baby girl go!!!!💓
How spectacular is this eagle!!!
I've seen a couple videos of fledglings having to grab some pretty low roosting spots their first night because they struggled to get airborne after their leap of faith. Not this little sweetie pie! Looks like she could almost get back to the nest.
That’s wonderful to see!! It’s great to see Spirit ! Thank you so much Cali ! ☀️😊We love you Spirit ⚡️♥️
Wonderful to get to see her fly. Thank you for the vid❤ Needed to see her😊
Spirit is an amazing Eagle. She is strong and proud and of good breeding!!
Woohoooo ... Spirit you are flying beautifully .. Shadow is so proud of you .. and so are we !!! 💖 Thanks Cali.
Spirit is having a ball!!! What a celebration in Big Bear!! We know Jackie and Shadow is feeling so HAPPY their baby girl has stepped-out into the world!!♡♡♡♡♡♡
Spirit is soaring the beautiful blue sky. So happy for her. Mom and Dad close by watching. They must be proud of Spirit. Thank you cali.🦅
Spirit looks like she's been flying along time, and is enjoying her flight.
This has eased my mind that she could not fly back up to the nest. She definitely can fly that high and then some
Oh my goodness…this is magnificent!
So great to see. Thank you. Love watching her fly like she has always flown. Of course she was always meant to fly ❤️🦅
Thank you for this ♥️
I had tears of mixed emotions when she fledged, and am almost breathless with the thrill of seeing her fly like an old pro! Jackie and Shadow are such marvelous parents. I just adore them. ❤
I was hoping this would get posted. I was watching cam2 and wondered if that was her🖤
What a sight to see! Great parenting Jackie and Shadow..🦅.Now, Spirit can soar free as an Eagle bird! We will all miss seeing you in the nest.. But, you are doing exactly what nature intended..Fly free and happy, stay safe!❤🦅
Beautiful! 💗

I feel like the proudest uncle in the world i tell you what!! God Bless Spirit on her new Journey in Life!!!!
that was a beautiful sight! She was joyously soaring like she's been doing it for years. Nice to see that Shadow was nearby. I know he and Jackie will be keeping a close watch on her. Thanks, Cali, you know just what we need to see.
Spirit is telling Shadow everything is alright dad I can fly see you someday at the nest
GOOD GIRL SPIRIT I THINK I CAN FLYING 🥰😍🤩🦅🦅🦅💞💓💗
So happy that Spirit is doing so well and that her parents 'found' her! Am betting after all these hours she must be getting hungry...unless mom/dad have already taken care of that wherever she/they were

Mom and dad are watching her and will take her food, wherever she is if she doesn’t make it back to the nest.
Sweet princess I miss her
This has been such a thrill. Spirit is on the wing and appears to be super excited about her big "step". I can never thank you enough for your nest cam and these amazing parents.
Wow she is doing such a great job and I'm so happy for her she is really exploring her territory. Great job my beautiful Spirit 💞💞💞
Looks like Spirit has no intention of going back to nest life just yet lol
