Hi Grosbeak, I went back to look. On a tablet, so its hard to pinpoint an exact time. Didn't get a scap, But did see the bird! I want to say a crane? Egret? I don't know what birds are in Florida. It had a long neck, long legs, and a crook in wings. Not eagle features. Probably a large beautiful bird . Hope that helps. Anybody else have an idea ?

Empty nest tree. Only thing home, are the ants, crawling up and down the tree trunk.
1:11 pm The Pritchett's pasture that provides a lovely place for H & M to live. No birdy seen, or heard here either.
1:12 pm This might have showed us something, but alas, big sighhhhh. Always keep checking. Just in case pond cam comes back Temperature says 85°. EEs are probably hiding in a shady spot, finding funky new things to play and learn with I would also think they are being feed on the ground, by adults. Trying to get them out of that nest food, habit. Learn to find the food out of the nest.

Re: SW Florida Eagle Cam 2020~2021
Hi, lovinnature. The bird in question has peregrine-style wings, rather than the buteo-style such as the eagles have. Based on previous visits to the Gulf Coast, I'm thinking it may have been a Royal Tern. It had a swallow-type tail.lovinnature wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 10:35 amHi Grosbeak, I went back to look.

I watch on a PC with a large screen, and I was able to interrupt the playback as the bird dipped and flipped, so got a good idea of it's overall shape. But in the end, I'm still guessing. Thanx.

Grosbeak and lovinnature. Here is a scap of the bird that was flying by the front pines at 1141.
It looks like a swallow- tailed kite to me. It has a forked tail.

1149 Adult flies to the south pond bank. Hard to see from so far away.
1150 Juvie seen flying toward adult at pond.
1154 Two juvies at pond now Adult went to the right.
Maybe a food drop at the pond? "Listen to the voice of nature, for it holds treasures for you."

watching and vocalizing intermittently. 1610 E18 leaving as M15 arrives with food to the nest.

1610 M to outer attic after the food drop.
1610 E17 to the food first. Not sure what the food is.
1618 E17 eats and E18 waits. Quite a bit of meat on that bone.
