So until then, I will continue to post any Banner reports plus the weather reports...
(According to the City of Fort Myers Hurricane Center, their hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th of each year.)

Also, Vicki will share/post her summer videos here in our HW SWFEC forum, so keep checking back to see her wonderful videos!

Good late night everyone. I visited the nest just before sunset tonight.

The Nest Area Looks Great After The Storm 06.05.22

I visited the nest this evening after the storm from a tropical system produced heavy rain with minimal winds a few days ago. All looked good at the nest and nest area. The field grasses have grown quite a bit since I was there ten days ago. Harriet & M15 were not there nor did they arrive while I waited for sunset. It is not unusual to not see them this time of year as they have no 24/7 duties at the nest without eggs/eaglets. I know they were enjoying the sunset wherever they perched for the night.

.... Vicki for visiting the nest tree area! So good to see that everything looked okay there!

I saw Harriet (?) sitting in Nest 2 @ the 3:53 mark. (You said it was hard to see things in the pasture area due to the sun setting in the West.)

Looking at today's picture of newly hatched eaglets reminds me of question I had when E20 hatched. There is a rather large bare looking patch between wings on back--that is, looks like no down. Does anyone know what causes that? It seemed to be more pronounced on E20 than E19.

That dark spot on E19 was from some dried (juicy) fish gunk.


Page 148: (check out page 147, too, for more of this story!)

Harriet tried to get some of that dried fish off from E19's back...

9:07am - While Harriet looked down at E19 & E20...E19 looked up at Harriet with some downy feathers and grass in its beak.

9:07am - Harriet noticed that dried fish juice on E19's back and tried to remove it...with
disapproval from E19 or E19 just wanting more food!

9:07am - Well, with Harriet being insistent to remove that stuff on E19's back...E19 bobbled over onto E20.

Thank you, Journi.

I did find that out early this morning and have edited the video title and description to reflect Harriet's presence.

Good morning!
"Tempus Fugit!" It has been 20 days since E20 departed and 40 days since E19 left.
It is 1200 miles to my area.....

Pictures from Monday, 3/28/22
E19 on the outer attic arch. I was happy I captured these photos of the heart
on E19's chest feathers. I had seen it on the cams before.

E20 says to E19 " You are such a show-off!" Spread those wings E19!

E19 says to E20 " Pretty impressive, huh E20?"

My favorite photos of E19 in the horaltic pose.

Woodstork flies over the nest tree.
