Such a joy to see E22 scooting all over the place exploring Blu, do you think M knows where is E21 is?

Cam op found E22 sitting on a fence; so good to see him this morning! Wonderful M15 saw his eaglet and brought
a fish to him to eat on the tree. E22 mantled, but didn't take the fish. M15 then took the fish to the nest, hoping to
coax E22 to follow. He sat in the nest holding a small piece of fish in his mouth and then flew back to the tree.
E22 did a lot of squeeing, but no eating. Eventually, M15 flew off. He is so patient with his eaglet.
Again, M15 is the best eagle dad EVER!

E22 down by the pond. Not sure what he was eating at first, but then it looked like a turtle (circled foot).
He then walked over and is very intrigued by the beautiful pond.

Thanks, BluSkye & gracie, for the great scaps

E22 surely was having a great time, eating and carrying around the fish, and exploring

Bev---if you are standing on the office side of the pond looking across pond at nest tree:
East to your left and West to your right.
Looking straight across the pond at the nest tree and highway is South and behind you would be North
Hope that helps some.

[bev.]

Got it from your saying looking to nest tree.
Thank you

E 21 flew quite a way out west so I would not be surprised if M15 feeds her out there..

E 22 is quite the character
Thank you everyone for such good reports, pictures and videos. Been watching this site since before M15

Thanks LazyParrot. Sounds like you've been there. This makes it clearer for me, too. Thanks for asking, Bev.

From Lady Hawk -- Apr 3, 2023 #FLORIDA #baldeagles #eagle

E22 has had an exciting morning so far! After perching on the church side fence, E22 flew to the church side snag and watched as M15 brought a fish to the dead tree on the ground. M15 was waiting there hoping to entice E22 to come down and claim it. When E22 did not come down, M15 flew off & brought the fish to E22 on the snag & tries to feed E22 on the branch but it was difficult to do. E22 was squeeing and mantling - M15 then went behind E22 and when that didn't work he flew back to the nest with the fish hoping E22 would follow. What an amazing Dad M15 is trying to help E22 figure this all out!

M15 then leaves the fish on the nest and flies back to the snag to be with E22 and stays there 7 minutes before flying off to go fishing again! We are witnessing the excellent parenting skill of M15 bringing food to E22 in new locations to encourage his fledgling to follow and claim the food! E22 is learning a whole new skill set!! Thank you for watching!

Here is my video from E22's first view on cam this morning.

Link: https://youtu.be/rs25akc1ukc

"SWFL Eagle Cam 4-3-23. E22 located by CamOps this morning, perched on the pasture fence."

CamOps was on a tour this morning and found E22 perched on the pasture fence. E22 was spotted at 8:46AM, and was flushed at 9:33AM when one of the pasture horses walked by. (Not shown: CamOps did pan looking for E22; however, I did not see the juvie in the footage.)

Here are some scaps from my video:

0847. CamOps finds E22.

0920. E22 warbles and loses their balance.

0920. E22 recovered .

This horse is a sweetie. Gotta watch out for the little one.
