We had a pond princess but I have never seen one of our young eagles who loves to play as much as this one does! :love:

From Lady Hawk -- May 26, 2023

E22 spent some time at the pond this afternoon entertaining itself & finding sticks to play both in the water and on the sand. E22 hops up to the cement blocks & drainage pipe and does a balancing act on it. E22 will do some bottom dipping keeping itself clean 😊 and then finding more sticks to play with. E22 will fly towards a branch and gets its talons tangled up in it and then take out its frustrations on the branch - even to the point of tugging and pulling at it lol E22 certainly is a character and probably was hoping to pull off a branch to take back to the nest!! Needless to say, E22 loves the pond and hanging out here. Thank you for watching!

:tea: Good morning. No sights or sounds of eagles this morning. People at the church side fence before daylight. Maybe E22 did not want to deal with them???

Still no e22 :(
Could he be one of the "early birds" and has left on his journey already?

:dunno: Where is E22 this morning? Just for reference, E22 is 140 days old today. E20 was 141 days old when it left the area on May 18, 2022. Remember, the current season started a little later than last season.

Good morning everyone :)

:eag: Here is my cam video for yesterday, 5-26-23.

:vid: Link: https://youtu.be/nZqz4zqmh9A

"SWFL Eagle Cam 5-26-23. E22 Checks in @ Sunrise; E22 Swoops Duck 2X at pond 😳👍; E22 Goes Soaring!"

Video starts with E22 arriving for their sunrise check-in. E22 appears to be snoozy during the visit on the attic branch. The mockingbird shows up to pester, as expected. E22 heads to the pond. Shortly after arriving, E22 is shown (slo-mo) flying by, left to right. A duck then flies by, coming from the right, and leaves view toward the office oak area (appears to be a Muscovy, the only large duck I have ever seen here). A duck arrives in the pond, and E22 flies from the office oak, swoops the duck, circles back, and swoops the duck a second time. The swoops are shown in slo-mo first, then real time. The duck leaves the pond, and E22 flies by, appearing to pick up speed. Was E22 duck chasing as well as swoooping? Only E22 and the duck know. Later, E22 returns to the nest tree. The mockingbird shows up, as expected. A grackle also shows up to join the pester party. E22 leaves the nest tree, and CamOps follows, catching some of E22's morning soaring. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.

Time stamps: Provided in DVR time; actual time is on the cam clock.

08:57. Slo-mo, E22 flies by.
09:04. Duck flies by from the right, toward the office oak (likely Muscovy, the only large duck I have ever seen here).
09:19. Duck arrives at the pond. Slo-mo, E22 from the office oak swoops the duck.
09:40. Slo-mo, E22 returns for a second swoop of the duck. The duck flies out, E22 follows quickly.
09:52. Replay, normal time.
10:22. Cam3. E22 from the right (W) returns to the nest tree.

0733. E22 flies by after the two swoops, picking up speed. Made me wonder if E22 was chasing the duck, who left the pond after the swoops.
