Their bone structure and foot pads are fully grown. Their feathers will continue to fill in and grow, their beaks will grow slightly bigger, and they will put on a bit more weight over the next few weeks. We have spent hours of observations and team collaborations comparing everything from overall size, shoulder width, beak and ankle thickness and vocal pitch between Sandy and Luna. Male and female bald eagles have significant differences in vocal pitch; we have all heard the difference in vocals with Jackie and Shadow. Females are larger than males and so are their voice boxes (Syrinx), which results in deeper lower-pitched vocalizations We used frequency applications to record and analyze Sandy and Luna’s vocals and there were consistent differences in vocal pitch. The only true way to determine gender for Sandy and Luna would be through blood tests. FOBBV believes that nature should be left to nature, we are here to observe not to be intrusive. We have done our best to make an educated guess on our eaglet’s genders without intruding on their lives. We believe that Luna is a male and Sandy is a female! Brother and sister living their best lives under the care of their wonderful parents, Jackie and Shadow. A special thank you to the FOBBV teams involved with these tireless observations happening 24/7! The private Facebook group admins and moderators, the detail-oriented recap team and our awesome CamOps team! Thank you for following along on this wonderous eagle adventure with us! " The FOBBV Team I concur with FOBBV assessment of the gender of the eaglets & have felt Sandy was a female for quite some time and wanted to see Luna fully grown to see if he would stay smaller than Sandy (which he has - indicating he is a male) Their voices have been developing for the past few weeks so I was really happy to include in today's video both Sandy's voice (which is a deeper sounding pitch indicating female) and then Luna's voice (squealing with joy while wingercising - a higher pitch indicating male). Of course, we can't be 100% sure without a DNA test but I am confident to say we have a boy and a girl too! Thank you for watching!
