.Early excitement at the nest last season. This was from AEF---The AEF cam operators discovered a monofilament fishing line around one of the eaglets. Officials at AEF have contacted USFWS for permission to have CROW investigate and evaluate the eaglet's health. Upon permission, a trained CROW staff member will be lifted to the nest.
An excellent photo of the two eaglets posted by CROW on FB. How cute are these babies?

It has been quite an eventful day for the eagles at the Captiva Nest Cam!
The American Eagle Foundation camera operators discovered a monofilament line wrapped around one of the eaglets and contacted USFWS for permission to have the #CROWClinic investigate and evaluate the eaglet’s health. Once permission was obtained, CROW rehabber Katie M. was lifted to the nest to check on the eaglets and remove the monofilament.
We are happy to report the eaglets are well and through team efforts with AEF’s Connor O., she was able to remove not only the offending monofilament but also a hook attached to it. Special thank you to LCEC for providing assistance in getting Katie to the nest.
This was also shared by CROW ~~ "Mission Accomplished! Both eaglets are fine - no line around them - both eaglets were examined by vet tech - line was retrieved from nest.
****************************************************************************************
.Our first season with this cam ended early when we lost bot of our eaglets to rat poison. One of the parents brought a dead rat to the nest which the youngest eaglet consumed. As eagles will--no wasting food--parts of the dead eaglet were fed to the older eaglet resulting in a long and terrible death for that one.
This is from last year's thread ---
. We have lost our precious Peace to unknown causes later known to be rat poison) on January 13, 2021-- 30 days old. Soar high and free baby eaglet.
. Early this morning, January 24, 2021 at about 4 AM, (41 days old) we lost our other precious eaglet, Hope. We don't know how or why but I hope that she has been reunited with Peace! Soar high and free sweet baby eagles. We will miss you.
The eaglet's remains were retrieved by CROW for testing and cause of death was found to be rat poison!
********************************************************************************
After all of the trauma of losing both beautiful eaglets at this nest we also lost Dad Joe. Poor Connie---what a year she has had. It seems that she has a brand new mate. Here is a note from the cam owner, Lori.
.Captiva Update - March 15, 2021 - Lori has named the new young male "Martin", a terrific name for Connie's new mate. Here is Lori's post from Instagram "Well...I guess it’s official. First Connie arrives at the nest...followed by her new young male partner. After an agonizing few weeks of praying for Joe’s return...I now feel ready to accept this new male in her life. Initially, I named our resident pair Connie and Joe, after my parents (Connie and Joe Peller). My parents had an extraordinary marriage (61 years) and a wonderful life together. Even though they passed in 2013 and 2016...there is not a day goes by that I don’t think of them both. They introduced us to the beautiful island of Captiva ...and it has become our home away from home! I struggled with what to name the male...as the only name that goes perfectly with Connie is Joe. But it turns out...there is one other...Martin. Martin was my Mom’s maiden name. So everyone...meet Martin...Connie’s new partner in life. They have been spending many early mornings and lazy late afternoon hours ...relaxing in the nest together. They seem very content and and relaxed. I pray that the drama for this nest has passed and the next season will be one of joy and peace!"

. Here is a little information about the nest history. It was posted in chat by the AEF mods last season. Although Joe is no longer with us the history still pertains to the nest. ---
This is a pretty good sized nest that is tucked between to large "trunks" of the upper part of the nest tree. Here is Connie on her eggs last season.

.Here are two different views of the nest and the nest tree. You can see the two trunks that are in the middle of the nest. Both photos are property of and copyright AEF.
This shot is farther away and shows how close to the water the nest is---what a view they must have from up there.

Nest Stats For Season 2021/2022
Note: On October 14 2021 Martin who returned with Connie for the season was challenged by another male eagle and was defeated. The new male on the nest was named by Lori (the property owner) on Nov 15, 2021 "Clive".
* Eggs Laid -- Egg #1 December 4, 2021 / Egg #2 December 7, 2021
* Eggs Hatched -- Unfortunately neither egg hatched. Thoughts are they were infertile due to the lack of bonding time Connie and Clive had.
