12-6-22

:eag: Here is my cam video covering M15 chasing an eagle from the nest tree area yesterday, 12-5-22. Included are a few more scenes, plus Harriet taking a bath.

Link: https://youtu.be/kftPLBPHEjA

"SWFL Eagle Cam 12-5-22. M15 chases eagle from the nest tree area. The Cleanest Eagle in FL 🦅🏝🛁"

Cam video covers M15 chasing an eagle out of the nest tree area, while Harriet protects the eggs in the nest. A short time later, M15 has to flush an eagle off a nearby pine tree, quite possibly the same eagle. M15 will guard territory from the pine after flushing the eagle, then will return to the nest tree. Harriet flew in earlier to take a bath at the pond. Time stamps included, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.

Here are a few scaps from my video:

Hello everyone. I visited the nest this morning.

:vid: VIDEO: https://youtu.be/IKus63RYu4U

The O's & The E's ~ Both Incubate & Females Eat ~ M15 & A Big Stick ~ Harriet Catches/Eats An Egret 12.06.22

The "O's" GHO (Great Horned Owls) appear to have taken up residency in the N2 (nest 2) nest tree in the west pasture and are incubating as are our "E's" Harriet & M15 in their original nest tree. It is not uncommon to have GHO and Eagles nesting in close proximity. We shall see what this season brings as we watch these two raptor families raise their own offspring. M15 exchanged incubation duties with Harriet early. She went to the pond area hunting and caught an Egret which she ate in the office tree. Later M15 snapped a huge branch from an office oak, successfully getting it back to the nest after a stop at the Cam 2 tree and two full circles around the nest tree to get enough height to land in the nest. We saw both GHO - the male perched near the incubating female protecting her and the egg(s) from crows, etc. We also saw the female GHO appearing to eat in the nest and moving a stick or two around.

.. Here is Lady Hawk's video for the day. It full of all sorts of activities from the day.


SWFL Eagle ~ Hilarious Stick Antics! M Stands On Harriet Placing A Stick! Brings In Red Meat 12.6.22


M15 flies in with a big stick and places it on Harriet's back -- all scaps are from the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgYgz0_Mdzw :vid:


Harriet did not get up so M15 stood on her back. I have never seen that before! :w00t:
SWF   sstanding on H  2   12-6-22.jpg

From Lady Hawk -- Dec 6, 2022

This eagle couple is so funny to watch each year. We see M15 using the same tactics to get his time on the eggs and today was no different. First we see him fly off the nest and over the pond in a beautiful sweeping flight! Harriet will take over incubation duties until he returns with a huge branch with dried leaves and has to make several circling passes around the nest in order to land with it. When he reaches the nest he puts the stick across Harriet 's back and then he steps on her in order to place it. She is NOT happy and is vocalizing at him the entire time. She gets up with him still on top of her!! Well, M's tactic worked - Harriet went to the attic and he got his egg time! :)


M15 brings a food gift--a UFO--maybe a part of a bird?
SWF   ufo for H   12-6- 22.jpg

M will leave and Harriet will resume incubation duties. M flies in with a snack for her - a piece of red meat (looks like maybe a rabbit leg) and she quickly eats it. Great views of the eggs! M will bring in a wad of grasses and he puts some on Harriet!! Again she gets up and he gets his egg time! I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing them interact like this each season and can't wait for those bobbleheads to hatch! Thank you for watching!


M15 wants some more egg time so he went to his old stand by--grass on the back :D
