Timing of July 4th fireworks couldn’t be worse for Big Bear eaglets, advocates say

Advocates are concerned that the July 4th fireworks could stress the eaglets in Big Bear, as the nestlings, Sandy and Luna, haven't yet learned to fly. The noise from the fireworks might disrupt the young birds' safety and well-being, especially as their parents could be distracted or alarmed. This situation highlights the delicate balance between community celebrations and wildlife protection, especially during sensitive periods like nesting season. The implications extend beyond immediate safety, raising awareness about the impact of human activities on local wildlife.
