Good afternoon everyone. E22 seems to be very happy to stay longer. Maybe going for a record. I wonder if that was E22 and M15 soaring together this morning--hope so.

Hello fellow eagle lovers. I've been asked to post a poem I wrote yesterday about our SWFEC Season 11....just a small reminder of the emotions we've all shared together this season...thanks for reading and for everyone's great contributions to this wonderful site.
Our SWFEC Family Season 11

This season started with hopes for the best
‘til Ian’s destruction put fate to the test.

The days crawled by as we hungered for news
with fear for the community and what they could lose.

A nest in shambles, the eagles astray;
our friends scanned the skies for glimpses each day.

With mighty resolve, H&M did return
and restored the great nest with all they had learned.

As a rainbow brings hope, two eggs were soon laid;
our season renewed from all that we prayed.

Then joy! Two eaglets, a he or a she?
One thing’s for certain, high decibels of squees!

First nestlings, then fledglings, it all went so fast
except losing Harriet; those days never passed.

Our queen of the skies had left with a chase;
Though she doesn’t return, she left us her grace.

M was distraught, a great problem to solve;
He abated our fears with devotion, resolve.

Raising the eaglets and teaching them well,
he filled us with pride and such stories to tell!

All Es must depart and we bid our farewells,
wishing M a great mate and a new Season 12.

Afternoon peeps.
@ 2:05 pm. - 2:35 pm. E22 to the attic. Vocal on and off. Windsurfing. Up to the attic arch. Looking around. Then down to the nest.
E22 will do some gardening. . Pulling up the green things that have sprouted in the nest.
It looks like E15's garden, that was in the old nest.
E will go to the far end of the veranda and hang out there a bit. After looking up there,, . E22 will fly up the the upper branch.
Right side.
E is vocal, but hangs out there for a bit. With a mighty flap of "her" wings off "she' goes. Up and to the west.
Bye sweet pea, be safe !

** Outsoaring, that is a nice poem.. Appreciate you sharing it with us.

During the week while at work, I go outside to eat my lunch and check the feed to see what’s happening with the eagles. This is a regular thing for me during the last 6 years or so.
When I read the poem that was posted earlier today, the tears just started and I realized how much I am entwined with these magnificent amazing creatures! I know when Harriet went missing….I was devastated…but it has been so uplifting to witness the resilience these raptors have.
We are so fortunate to have this forum; thank you to everyone who shares, posts, updates and keeps the thread going!
