M15 went for a fly-about toward the pond this afternoon, flushing some Cattle Egrets. Wonder what that was all about??? :)

:eag: Here is my video from yesterday, 3-22-23, covering the intruder chasing/stealing the fish from M15.

:vid: Link: https://youtu.be/LRCq7TrUpPM

"SWFL Eagle Cam 3-22-23. Intruder Chases M15/Steals Another. Intruder Eats Some/M15 Recovers the Rest"

M15 is flying in with a fish for the E's, being chased by an intruder. The chase passes directly in front of Cam3, shown in slo-mo. The intruder steals the fish, and is found on the ground eating near the downed live pine, and M15 is perched in the Cam2 tree. M15 returns to the nest tree, and after thirty minutes of eating, the intruder flies to the pond. M15 flies down, recovers the remainder of the fish (Cam3 only), and returns to the nest. E21 claims and eats the fish. M15 heads back to the ground where he recovered the fish, and is flushed by one of the pasture horses coming too close. M15 head to the pond, and the intruder flies in his direction. M15 returns to the nest tree to watch over while E21 eats. Time stamps provided, 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.

:eag: Here is another video from yesterday.

:vid: Link: https://youtu.be/0S9n1aXQxFA

"SWFL Eagle Cam 3-22-23. E22 Makes it to the Veranda, the First One this Season to Explore There!"

E22, who branched yesterday, 3-21-23, is the first to make it to the veranda branch this season! E22 wing flaps around the nest, carrying a small leftover item. E21 gets the head tilt just right to view E22's technique. E22 wing flaps on the rails next to E22, and gets a little beak nibble. E22 then wing flaps/hops up onto the veranda, the first one to make it there! Way to go, E22! E22 does some fast wing flapping on the veranda, then closely watches the distance. M15 flies in with a fish delivery, and E22 flaps and drops to the nest quickly, claiming the fish and Dad's foot. M15 gets their foot back and leaves the nest. E21 tries four times, unsuccessfully, to steal the fish from E22. E22 finishes their fish after doing a great job protecting it. Time stamps provided, if interested.

:eag: Here is another video from yesterday, 3-22-23.

:vid: Link: E22, https://youtu.be/IfjXpCV7Z1U

"SWFL Eagle Cam 3-22-23. E21, First To the Porch to Perch! Adorable Close Views + Horaltic Pose!"

Video from 3-22-23 combines ground footage with cam footage. Now that both E's have branched, they start working on getting to other branches of the nest tree. Video starts with ground footage, with E21 on the rails. E21 jumps into the nest, where E22 is resting. At 00:53, E21 flaps/hops onto the porch branch, then starts investigating the branch with their beak. I move the cam a little bit to show E21 just watching the world around them while perching on the porch. Cam coverage starts at 02:11, and will focus on E21. E21 wing flaps into the nest from the rails, then makes the easy jump onto the porch branch. CamOps provides close views of E21 while on the porch. E21 starts wing flapping again, going to the nest, and then across to the spike. Later, more close views of E21 perched on the porch, and then back to the spike for some adorable views as E21 looks up. E21 then treats us to their magnificent horaltic pose.

Hello night peeps
@ 7:15 pm -- 7 :59 pm. As in Journi's s'cap above M is drying off after a nice bath. He goes from the attic to the U branch.
The EEs are munching on nest overs. E22 watches dad. And is chitter-chirping to let dad know. E21 decides to start winging.
All around, and hopping. Out to the porch and back. Feeling the breeze. Now it's E22's turn winging by the west spike. Getting some air. The ends up at the bottom of the veranda. Intently looks at it. Nope not right now. The EEs have some cute moments of interacting with each other. E21 does a rouse and E22 looks at the sideways. Sure would love to know what they are thinking when the turn those heads sideway.

@ 7:46 pm. M will leave the nest tree. He flies to the north. Good night M be safe. E22 is standing on the rails.
She tracks dad to the north, then east, then back to the north. Head wiggling and watching. That's right I said it SHE. :D
E22 has Harriet's gift. She knows where M is. Just like Harriet always used to. :rh:
@ 8 pm. E22 left and E21 have both settled down. For now. The lay tail to tail. In a beautiful "eagle heart" shape. :wub:

@ 8:26 pm - 11:01 pm. E22 has been on "her" feet. Watching. Preening. Neck wiggle tracking. Preening. Watching, ect, ect...
E21 has been up but back down and sleeping.

@ 11:01 -- 11:11 pm pm. E22 and E21 sleep. Lots of bugs tonight.

@ 11:11 pm E22 is awake and back on it's feet again. Preening. Fixing those wonky feather. Going to to a pretty bird in the morning.
E21 sleeps. M is not seen.
Temp 72° F. Windy. ( and hopefully a peaceful night ). :luck:

:owl:
@ 12:32:39 am. Both EEs are standing doing their thing. The owl comes from the east. It hits E22. Who is taken across the nest. They stop at the edge. E22 has drags part of the north rail branches in it's right talon with them, as the slide across the nest.
E21 is sounding alerts. But they are quiet little chirps. No alerts or sounds from E22 at all. E22 is moving and on feet. So must be OK.
But has kept it's head down low. The owl will go to the top of the front pine trees, and sit.

@ 12:34 am The owl leaves the front pines around the nest tree and heads north.

@ 12:44 am. E22 lays down. E21 is standing on the east side of nest. Head bowed and sleeping.
Temp 69° F

.. Oh boy! The delivery of the Ibis. I'm glad it's not meal time for me! :roll:


M15 delivers an Ibis to the nest. You can't see it but it's there. :shock: -- scaps are from the video

The entire time the intruder who followed M15 has been up in the outer attic watching the eaglets eat but never interfered.
SWF   intruder in outer attic   3-23-23.jpg


From Lady Hawk -- Mar 23, 2023 #FLORIDA #baldeagles #eagle

The E's see M15 flying in with an ibis and E21 who is on the porch rushes back to the nest in anticipation of the delivery. E22 is ready to rush in and mantles as well and ends up claiming the bird! The female intruder follows M15 back and she lands in the upper branches. M heads to the porch as E22 is mantling and squeeing! E22 does a great job unzipping and de feathering the bird and eats first - all the while keeping an eye on the intruder. E21 will attempt a steal and grabs the ibis's foot and pulls - E22 keeps the prey and continues to eat.

After awhile, the intruder drops down to the outer attic branch and M15 is on the u branch. The intruder watches the E's eating on the nest but does not make any move to try and steal the bird. While the cam is focused on them, E21 steals the bird from E22 and begins to eat it. E22 is eating a piece as well on the left. Feathers are everywhere as E21 also does well in de-feathering the bird and now gets to eat. Thank you for watching!

.. M15 makes a delivery and then goes to take a much needed bath. AZs they said on chat today he probably needs to wash the feather lice off a bit, :w00t:

From Lady Hawk -- Mar 24, 2023 #FLORIDA #baldeagles #eagle

It was a good day of feasting for the E's with 6 food items delivered by M15 with four fish, one bird and one UFO. As the day is coming to a close, M15 brings in the last delivery - a fish head snack and E22 is there to mantle and claim it! M15 then flies to the pond to take a few sips of water and then proceed to take a bath while both E's are eating on the nest. M15 finishes his bath and flies off to dry his wings before returning back to the nest tree. He then will head to the U branch as the E's watch him. M15 will fly off for the evening for the third night in a row to roost elsewhere tonight as the E's tuck them in for the night. Thank you for watching!


M goes to the U branch while still a bit wet

And then flies off for the night leaving the Es alone again.

Here we go again! Poor E22 was STRUCK BY AN OWL AGAIN at a little about 12:32Am tonight. I don't understand why M15 is leaving them alone at night!! :angry:


There goes that awful owl heading for the nest :angry: :hlp: -- scaps are from the video

From Lady Hawk -- Mar 24, 2023 #FLORIDA #baldeagles #eagle

Both E's were up preening on the nest when the Great Horned Owl is seen flying in from the left (east). The owl targets & hits E22 and knocks E22 into the nest face down before flying off and landing in the front pines. E22 gets up and is crying out softly almost in whimpers while E21 is mostly silent on the left hand side of the nest. E22 must have been stunned once again with being struck so forcefully by the owl - E22 remained almost motionless for 12 minutes before finally lying back down on the nest. E22 appears to be okay. The owl is seen flying off to the east three minutes after striking E22. Thank you for watching!
