:eag: Hello Everyone -

JudyB got back with me to let me know that she has sent a message to our tech person about the slow connection issue and several other issues, including the fact that pictures aren't showing up in some threads.

So this situation is being looked into and she (and I) don't know how long this issue will take to be resolved.

Please capture any s'caps that you'd like to share with us and then download them later...if possible.

:arrow: If and when you have any questions or having connection problems, please contact me or MaryF.

Thank you, Journi

.. Poor M15! I hope he remains strong and unhurt as he has taken so many owl strikes this season---so many more than usual! :cry1: (scaps later)

SWFL Eagles ~ OWL STRIKES M15 TWICE & KNOCKS HIM OFF ATTIC! He Gives Chase & Is Okay! 3.20.23


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qheskQGA3jE :vid:


From Lady Hawk -- Mar 20, 2023

Early this morning the owl strikes M15 two separate times and knocks him off the attic. At 00:52am the owl is seen flying in from the right (west) and hits him and knocks him off the attic branch. M15 flies to the left (east) and returns landing on the outer branch. He then moves closer to the nest as the E's are vocal.

Once again at 02:03am the owl returns coming in from the left (east) and strikes M15 & knocks him off the attic and into the nest. The owl flew to the front pines. E22 was perched on the rails and almost loses its balance but recovers. M15 flies off to the left and returns to the attic. The owl will fly to a pine on the right and M15 is watching and will fly off off the attic to attempt to flush it out. M15 then returns back to the attic but the owl is still there. The E's are vocal on the nest. The owl finally will fly off towards the south. Whew! This owl is relentless but M15 and the E's are okay! Thank you for watching!

To see the highlights below, please click on the timestamps to advance to that portion of the video.

:owl: :tt:
@ 11:57:17 pm. The owl comes from the west, fast and with might ! It hits M off the attic.
He goes straight down through the tree. Looks like he bounced off some branches on the way down. The owl continues to the east.
M recovers himself and flies out of the front pine area and heads at the camera and to the north.
Camera 1. EEs are sleeping side by side in the nest. E21 is laying low and watching. E22 is tucked and sleeping. When M gets hit, you can see him pass by the east side of the nest, as he goes down.

@ 11:58:12 pm. M returns to the attic. Vocal. As M returns to the attic, it scares E21 who flinches.
This wakes E22 who then also flinches. They both keep their heads low and are looking to see what is going on. E22 sound the vocals.
M is vocal for a few more minutes. EEs tuck their heads and go back to sleep. I guess M is OK. He seem to fly ok. Will wait to see when daylight comes.

:owl: :owl:

@ 1:56:06 am. M is hit again. The owl comes from the west, fast. M is knocked off attic but he lands on the Veranda.
He will go right back to the attic. Vocal alerts. EEs were rocked out of a sound sleep. They both jump, when M is hit.
No vocals from E22. Both EEs go right back to heads tucked.

@ 1:56:33 am. M leaves the attic. Goes out and to the west, then maybe north ?

@ 1:57:12 am. A large bird flies across the screen, from right to left. (west to east). Continues to go east.

@ @ 2:15 am. M15 has not returned yet. EEs are snuggled safe and sleeping.
Man I just want to cry, I feel so bad for poor sweet M. Be safe M. :rh:
Temp 53° F

@ 2:18:21 am. YAY ! M comes flying in from the west. Does a couple of circles at the left side of nest tree. He lands in the attic, to a chorus of EES squawking. M is vocal too. Of course it will take a few minutes for E22 to quiet back down.
E22 will go back to head tuck. But E21 is laying down, but is watching. M seems to be OK. He was gone for about 22 minutes, before returning to the attic.
Temp 52° F

Alright hooties, Enough is Enough ! Stop it. 🚫🦉 at all !!!
@ 2:35 am. M quietly sits in the attic. EEs are tucked and sleeping.
Be safe sweet eagle !
I'm done for tonight.
:nite:

:owl:

Folks,

M was knocked off the attic at 1:56:11. I think he got back up there and then shortly flew off in the direction away from the grumpy palm. So far, at 2:00 am, he hasn't come back.

I just checked again at around 2:15(?) am. I'm not sure about the time - it was 2:15 on my clock which isn't necessarily all that accurate. M was back and there was much vocals, squees and chortles and M moved around a lot on the attic.

That was a very hard hit from the owl @ 1:56:05 looked like M15 struggled a little and his alerts were very low . I hope he is ok.

From Lady Hawk -- Mar 21, 2023

M15 brought in three food items today - a small and large fish and a UFO snack. E22 mantle the first small fish delivery but E21 also has its talons on the fish. They both are gripping the fish but E21 will get it and start eating. Our magnificent M15 is seen on the U branch looking incredibly handsome! ♥


I've got the fishy--21 dances around the nest with the fish
SWF   22  I've got the fishy  2   3-20-23.jpg

Back on the nest, E21 decides to hop around and carry the fish in its beak before eating! M15 flies off and brings in a second bigger fish! The E's mantle it and E22 claims it and hangs on to it with its talons but E21 also have a grip and another tug-o-fish ensues and E21 gets it once again and begins to eat. E21 will finally walk away when it is full and E22 grabs the remainder of the fish and begins to eat it. After a while, E22 will also grab the fish in its beak and hop and flap around the nest with it lol


Handsome M15 on the U branch :rh:

When E22 is finished with the fish, M15 flies in with a UFO snack and E22 rushes over and grabs it and swallows quickly! Bon appetit E22 on your one gulper snack! Thank you for watching!

SWFL Eagles ~ 2 More OWL STRIKES On M15 Knocking Him Off Attic! He Flew Off & Returns Safely 3.21.23


The eaglets had been asleep and that strike sure woke them up! :ohmy:
SWF   Es reaction-strike 1   3-20-23.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1mY3jsegAA :vid:


From Lady Hawk -- Mar 21, 2023

The owl returns tonight two times in two separate strikes on M15. The first one was at 23:57 on March 20th and the owl comes in from the right (west) and targets M15 and hits him hard knocking him from the attic. M drops down and flew to the right and then in view of the cam heading north. The owl flew to the left (east). The E's were sleeping tucked in and both are startled awake by the hit. You can see M15 from cam 1 on the left as he gets hit and goes down. M15 returns after a minute to the attic with vocals. That makes a total of three owl strikes on M15 in one day!


Here come the owl from the right again for the second hit on M15
SWF   here comes owl--again   3-20-23.jpg

The second owl strike occurs at 01:56 (March 21st) and it comes in from the right once again and hits M15, This time M15 catches himself and lands on the veranda. He jumps back to the attic but then he flies off and heads west. I did not see the owl in the front pines or in view. The E's were startled once again by the hit but were quiet and went back to sleep. M15 returns & circles the area and lands on the attic 21 minutes later at 02:18 with a lot of vocals from the E's and himself. M15 is okay and the E's finally settle down after a few minutes of squeeing and go back to sleep. Thank you for watching!


Here we see part of M15's tail and one of the Es picks up it's head and look around at the noise of the strike
