Bath Time For Dad & What An Eaglet Does When Home Alone - SWFL Nest of M15, F23 & E23 (1/3/24)

In case you were wondering why so many celebrated when the SWFL pond cam went live - M15's baths are surely part of the reason. 😂 See for yourself!
And, if you want to know how a little eaglet spends a few minutes "home alone"... s/he practices turning around in a full circle in the nest!
Sometimes, it's so refreshing to see the cute stuff, am I right?

M-15 is the best dad ever. Raised 2 kids by HIMSELF last year.

not entirely. Luckily E21 & E22 were quite far along when Harriett disappeared but M15 certainly completed the job & that was a miracle ❤🦅🦅

M-15 ❤Bird bath 2.0 M can take bath in my ceramic bird baths, wait they’re too small for him. Maybe his talons will fit for a perfect taloncure (pedicure) 😂❤ An easy baby (eaglet) just one precious fluff🐦 so he can relax a bit more.🙏

[@INTERNA9]

Not safe … all alone..😮

[@eileenjones3918]

I guess Chubby took her prey and flew off to eat it....never mind the baby being alone....can her M.....raising an eaglet is team work...get rid of her.

[@Awacactus]

@@eileenjones3918, why get rid of her, F23 has been an awesome mother

[@WingsOfWhimsy]

Agreed! I'm very impressed with this gal!

I'm afraid I won't see eagles in my life except in the zoo

[@WingsOfWhimsy]

Are you outside of the U.S.? If in the U.S., they are relatively well spread out. There may be nests within traveling distance for you!

[@yywant-qb7om]

@@WingsOfWhimsy I can hardly see eagles in China except Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. It seems that Americans can often see bald eagles

[@corataningco2188]

The egrets starts training

[@Beepinsqueekin]

Yikes, so tiny to be left alone. Easy pickings from an owl, raven, etc.

[@WingsOfWhimsy]

No worries - It was only 4 minutes, with parent still right there. :)

[@debs987]

[@WingsOfWhimsy]
