A young bald eagle has taken flight, leaving an empty nest in Big Bear Valley, California.
Thousands tuned in to a popular livestream set up by Friends of Big Bear Valley, to watch the juvenile eagle, nicknamed Luna, flap its wings and glide to a nearby tree for the first time.
A group of bird watchers also gathered in the California valley, east of Los Angeles, to witness the action in real time.
