SWFL Eagles ~ INCREDIBLE Moment F23 Feeding Bites Of Fish To M15! She Remembered! Cute E24! 12.14.24

[@judyjenkins5034]

This has got to be a classic!❤🦅🦅❤️ If that doesn’t touch you, you had better check your pulse😍🦅🦅❤️

[@agnieszkasadton7998]

I jak tu nie kochac tej rodziny❤❤❤

[@juliechaud]

So lovely!! The ongoing development of a bonded relationship in the wild - we can learn so much from these beings in nature!! 😍🦅🦅

[@hartless76]

Christmas joy with the eagles! ❤

[@donnagelina8548]

That's just precious. 🥰

[@ryanh4700]

The way she is trying to feed m15 is so sweet . She also does it gently and in small bites. She will be very skilled at feeding her little ones. Remember when she arrived at the nest, she would cover the deliverd fish so m15 would not get it or she would fly to another place. She is happy and now trusts him. Beautiful couple.

[@sandrawensink6583]

This never gets old❣️ Thank you Lady Hawk and thank you to the Pritchett’s for continuing to give us access to this beautiful eagle family.❤

[@gracechen7637]

Last year F23 was crazy about her food but look how mature she is now! Such a great transformation!

[@lourdesvilar8515]

Forever Love. She is Too in Love to Eat, lol

[@vanda6121]

How beautiful these images are, Mom F23 wants M15 to give up his place, but Dad pretends not to understand!! 😊 🦅🐣🦅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stacyleitch8564]

I've never seen the horses hang out that close to their home. I feel like their animal instincts know what happened today, and they're right there to kind of say congratulations, showing them some love..in a horse kind of way. Their neighbors and feel the vibe.

[@wandae9906]

Oh my goodness - how precious was that? ❤ F23 made history indeed with that gesture! TY LH ❤

[@MaxHunen]

M & F had been a couple for two seasons, Mighty M is experienced and had mastered his parenting skill's from his previous partner Beautiful F is a fast learner, motherhood instincts had transformed this lady on how to share as a family with devotion🙌 Heartwarming moment, F will be doing more incredible feat that will surprise us.. She knew this was a precious family she loved and going to protect forever🙌 Thx Lady Hawk for sharing such a lovely moment !!💫💥

[@dawnnoble8186]

Thanks LH, for everything that you do. It took me a while last season to warm up to F23, and I had a hard time letting go of Harriet. I find though that this season is a new season of new beginnings for both M15 and F23, because after today she has totally won me over. But precious Harriet's legacy lives on through her parenting skills that was passed on to M15 in which he has now passed onto F23.

[@stacyleitch8564]

@dawnnoble8186 @dawnnoble8186 Oh my gosh, me too. I'm glad to finally see someone else say they felt that, too. These two are so dominant together, though. She won me over quickly. This eagle family is no doubt the craziest nature experience for me because somehow, these birds are part of me and my life now. And I will never even meet or see them live!lol The experiences that the Prichett family allows us to have by having the cameras available, I can't even put it into words. Some things stay with you forever. Watching these guys will stay with us forever. Is LadyHawk the daughter who did the interview for the news? She's amazing, wonderful human being❤️

[@trax2011]

I love the way you put the different camera perspectives together for various events. Honestly, there is no one better. Cindy

[@michelle1970]

I 2nd this!

[@nicki78-gh13mm]

I watched this live, and M seemed to shake his head no! 😂 I was laughing because he taught her that. Can't wait for the first feeding. I think it will be F23 who gives E24 their first bite as soon as it starts getting light. 🥰

[@takemetothesea6238]

Well great LadyH.......you've got me crying all over again. So very glad you've shared this. I'm still shaking my head from when I first saw it LIVE. Mama Maybelline and Daddy M are a miraculous pair and have bonded beyond my wildest dreams. She clearly understands her part here. Wanting to show she knows her place in the family unit. Preparing and sharing the food and engage in the team feeding. "Big brick house" is fully engaged thanks to careful & tender patient loving direction from her precious soulmate... Mighty, mighty M. This scene is breathtaking. 🥰God bless these these two. Thx LadyH!💖😢😊

[@gummybearlol]

Too precious ❤❤❤

[@vanda6121]

Impatient Mom wants to feed the little one, while, proud Dad waits to see his baby ❤ 🐣 !! An infinite sweetness!! 🎉🦅🦅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MarianneLeinonen]

Mommy, come warm me up, it's cold here. 🐥❤

[@DebGreen-w8d]

I had watched that live earlier & was so focused on E24 I didn't see the fish interactions. I love the tight bond these two have with each other( M & F23) ❤❤❤

[@maryannwaruszewski4229]

This eagle pair keeps making unforgettable moments of love and devotion. Thank you, Lady Hawk, for the sweet pictures of E24 and all your helpful explanations.

[@jwwj30]

Okay Lady Hawk, I’ll guess F23 will be the first to feed E24 tomorrow morning. The little eaglet’s neck muscles must support that giant head, which at this stage seems underdeveloped. But within two days, the neck will catch up to the head.

[@Agnes-hm7iv]

Such a wonderful and moving video Lady Hawk 🤗💖 M15 & F23 are in symbiosis💕 just a look or a gesture to understand each other🥰 maybe F23 will have the privilege of feeding her little one first .... we will see 🥰

[@Deb_C]

That’s the sweetest video. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@viviely2280]

we are already grandparents :)

[@Judy-wv4mx]

F23 deserves a real name now. :)

[@michelle1970]

They call her Lady on facebook. One of the photographers do and posts to the group. I have not called her that yet, but it might be a fit

[@carolynplesa1256]

Oh please, I wish both Eagles could receive names. ​@@michelle1970

[@judy6348]

​@@michelle1970 I understand that most people want to give names, but it is humanizing a wild bird in its own habitat. SWFEC have stopped the naming of the eagles back during the Ozzie and Harriet time period. The photographers gives names for their personal use, meaning, before a new eagle that comes around often in the territory the photographers name them before SWFEC names them. SWFEC names them by gender and year, like M15 (Male 2015) and F23 (Female 2023) become a bonded pair. The Admins allow only photographers to give names because that is how they identify the eagle, once SWFEC give the new eagle a name the photographers begin to use the designated name given by SWFEC. I hope this helps you and others. Happy Holidays.

[@michelle1970]

@judy6348 I'm fine using F23 & M15. I knew what the letter and number means but Thank you for explaining why the photographer calls F23 lady. Although I like the name and it fits her I'm good with whatever. I just love the Eagles and the names don't matter to me

[@takemetothesea6238]

The owners of the nest property have given her an official name for the books. We, the public fans can use whatever we like as a nickname. I've stuck with Maybelline since there were many of us last summer from our first impressions, loved that dark "eyeliner" on her eyes. LOL! 👁😅😅😅

[@law8263]

Very sweet! Thank you! ❤

[@karenmetzger354]

Boy, I missed the part when the other half of the eggshell got onto the egg! That looks funny!

[@trax2011]

Such a sweet video, LH. You captured a very sweet moment. These moments are kind of the heart of the nest, aren’t they? Thank you.

[@maggiemurdoch5698]

Everything about this is just precious!

[@trish818]

So cute!

[@dawnnoble8186]

I bet cha M15 is telling E23 "Ok Ma, lets get with the program here".

[@pilotmike797]

E25 is gonna freak out when he realizes he has two eggs to break out from LOL.

[@annwilliams1073]

Shouldn't we worry abt this?

[@SilkeMachler]

🫠🫠🫠💓💓💓Love Family

[@kimdahlquist5480]

I was watching the live feed when this happened... this was SO sweet, even if M didn't take the bits he was being offered. It's amazing when you see the gentle side of these fierce raptors. 😊❤

[@nomado3650]

Children and some adults should be watching this video to understand and appreciate the meaning of a supportive, loving, properly functioning family.

[@roncaruso931]

Are you serious? These are animals. They run on instinct. Get a life.

[@Silver-Lady-25]

I think u are right. It may install empathy in some people. The world certainly needs people who have empathy in them

[@edwardizhonig204]

@roncaruso931- with all due respect, humans are animals. Humans also have instincts. All animals have prefrontal cortex which allows them to have feelings. If you have nothing nice to say kindly don’t say anything. I wish you well. This is a rhetorical statement. Take care.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Amen ❤

[@crism4932]

Amen!!

[@parakeet8157]

Beyond precious feeding each other😊Blessed Eagle family❤❤❤❤

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

🥰💞🐟🦅💞 Yes I saw it live too. 💞👀💞 Oh yeah!! She did it beautifully with tenderness and sweetness. 🥰🥰 It was absolutely gorgeous, cute and magical and deeply touching. She melted my heart 🔥 offering those bites of her fish to M15. 💞💞 I wish he had eaten them!! 🐟🦅 I think she did it "altruistically", so to speak. No tricks or ulterior motives!! 💞💞 Oh dear!! She surely remembered M15 offering her bites of food to feed their E23 last year. 💞💞 Oh yeah!! I must say that Mama F23 never ceases to surprise me positively and wonderfully. 🥰🥰 Bless her heart.🙌🦅🙌 May they be blessed and keep thriving beautifully and stay safe under divine protection. 🙏🌱🙏 Sleep peacefully my dear loves. 🙏🦅🐣🥚🦅🙏 God bless and protect them always. 🙏💞🙏 Thank you so much for this wonderful coverage, dear Lady Hawk. 💙💙 Take good care and be blessed, my friend. 💐💙🥰🥰💞🌄🌴🪹🦅🐣🥚🦅🌌💞🙏

[@cindycarman2735]

E24 for 2024 and E25 for 2025 for a bright new beginning ❤ STRENGTH FROM THE ENTIRE FAMILY❤❤❤

[@CindyCollins307]

I hope they move the extra shell off the second egg soon.

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

🥰💞💞 Oh my passionate heart!! 💘 Look how beautifully Super Daddy M15 is perched on the veranda looking down at his precious family in their love nest!! (4:39) He must be so proud of his gorgeous family. 🥰🥰 You are the best Eagle Daddy ever, beloved M15!! 💞🏆🦅💞 I'm so proud of you and your family!! 🥰🥰 Bless M's heart 🙌🦅🙌. I'm joyfully celebrating their happiness and love for their new hatchling and fervently praying for a safe and successful hatch for their precious Egg#2. 🙏🥚🙏 God bless and protect you always, my dear loves. 🙏🦅🐣🌱🥚🦅🙏 Thank you again Lady Hawk. 💙💙 Many blessings, hugs and a blessed Sunday to you and yours, my friend. 🌺🌸💙🫂🥰🥰💞🌴🪹🦅🐣💘🥚🦅💞🙏

[@brandiosborn7443]

OMG LH ... I was watching this live today and was 99% certain it was F23 offering to M15 .... I literally was talking to my screen in (positive) NSFW language. How she's evolved . and wow have we be fortunate to watch.

[@roncaruso931]

These are animals. They run on instinct. F23 probably thought M15 was a chicken. Get aclife!

[@pattimiller9157]

I love animals ❤

[@anitlise5297]

❤🦅🦅❤🎉🐤❤️❤️

[@kathleenmccaffery1313]

You are both already rocking it Super M and Lady F! 🌟🌟Legendary parents ready to shine again! 😅❤

[@michelle1970]

Thank you for this! I loved this moment so much! Also @Ladyhawk I appreciate your confirmation on egg 2 because on one a facebook group for this nest it was posted that there was a pip started on egg 2 as E24 was starting to hatch which obviously was a few days early for that so thank you so much for this!! I won't ever repeat what Facebook puts up again & edited/deleted my comment about seeing this. This is why I love your channel and postings. You never exaggerate or assume. Thank you!

[@justdi3347]

Good Morning Lady Hawk and everyone 🥚🦅🦅🦅🙏🏻. I had to go out right after E24 was born but after I got back I had watched “an” eagle feeding the other. I contemplated several times that it looked like F23 but thought that it probably was M15 feeding his 23❤❤❤. But I was wrong 😊, it truly was a tender, beautiful moment. I think M15 will get the first feeding 🤔

[@nellowynpitman1439]

What a couple these two have become. Fingers crossed that E24’s egg shell doesn’t cause a problem for E25’s successful hatch 😮 (Memories of Gabrielle and Samson’s nest). ❤️🦅🦅🐣🥚🇦🇺

[@carolynplesa1256]

Such fabulous bonded couple. Harriet would approve of M15's choice and overjoyed that her nest is continuing to bring new life into the World. Cant wait for the 2nd egg to pip.... Wow, what a Christmas gift ❤🐣🦅🦅

[@lynnekelley7545]

Now, this is a heartwarming photo - both M15 and F23 keeping their eagles warm. Nature does it best! 👍❤️

[@solinina6708]

Such a beautiful baby eagle ! It is very blessed to have such caring & loving parents ❤🙏🏻

[@moka9144]

Yeaaah, it is the incredible, best experienced, wonderful Daddy, M15 the one and only, who gives the very first bite of fish to E24 at 07.49.25. M15, you are doubtlessly the greatest - ever. Great first feeding, M has the patience of an angel - to feed a wobbly beak. First I thought F23 will feed E24 at 04.30 am, E24 was ready to be fed, but she hesistated and decided to continue brooding. Then again at around 07.04/07.05 it looked as if F23 will feed E24 who was begging strongly keeping up its head and sitting upright very strong, but then Daddy flew in and F23 was generous and let M take over brooding and the first feeding. She flew to a snag on driveside to watch from there. What a harmonous couple.

[@m.theresa1385]

So sweet! I love how mom and dad co ordinate over baby care. Precious :)) 😻 Cute little fluff ball 🐥

[@paulettemaldonado862]

That’s what made me fall in love with her more was watching her. Be a good mom to eat 23. She was awesome. She is very smart, but I can tell she’s new and has learned a lot from M 15 and those two together are just awesome. She tends to get overprotective when the eggs hatch I did notice that last year and that’s a good sign of being a protective mama eagle and I like that because M 15 has that good quality in him too !I was waiting for this day for so long I can’t wait for the next one to hatch and see how they handle it together. They are just so awesome. m 15 just knew exactly what partner to pick bless this nest and trust the Eagles❤

[@lilim9887]

What an absolute sweet moment! Think M15 will be the first to feed the baby!🥰 Tysm Lady Hawk! Blessings!!!

[@mehmetfirat2005]

❤❤❤

[@lildebboston455]

Awwwww.🥰 My Heart. Such an incredible moment to witness...

[@sheilaashe6747]

Just Beautiful, Breathtaking ❤🐣🦅🦅 🥚 ❤ Gods Stunning Creation ❤ Ty Lady Hawk ❤

[@susanmorris5520]

I am so impressed with F23 and her maturity and also in the teaching from M15 to F23 last season also which was so wonderful of M15 to do too cause she has been able to mature and become the best mom that she has become and this season will be the best one yet cause now these two E’s have two fantastic and loving nurturing parents that any Eaglets can ever ask for or have. F23 surly has been Heaven sent with her love and compassion she has for her sweet mate M15 and also her babies too. I even saw that in her blossoming with how she was with E23 too last season. Thank you Lady Hawk for an awesome video of a very special and loving bond between to Eagles who truly do love each other for sure.🦅🦅🥰❤️🐥🥚❤️🙏🌴👏🏻👏🏻😎❌⭕️. PS: have a blessed day my friend. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida

[@takemetothesea6238]

Yuuuuge AMEN!😉❣

[@EmiW7140]

I am very touched with F23's behaviour 😢❣️ My love to M15 is unconditional but F23 surpasses herself ever single day 😊💓 She has grown to awesome eagless, partner and mother 🙏 💞 I have no doubts this that it is due to almighty M15 ♥️🦅👑 He shows her every single day stability, predicability, support, awsome partnership name it ❤ But she learns greatly from it 💞 For me she is amazing too with her F23's personality and learn from the best 🤗💗 They both are now very powerful and perfectly bonded eagle couple ❤🦅🦅❤ Bless their hearts 🥰💖 And who feeds in the morning 😅 of course only the one M15 🐟 But I know that already 😊🤗😉💞 Thank you so much dear Lady Hawk for capturing these moments for us 💐🤗🐝🌺💗 You are the best too 👄✨ Wishing you blissful Sunday my dear friend 🤗💖

[@sarahmarks7082]

M15 is a wonderful father and a loving part😍🤩 Bless his feathers 🪶 ' Sweetheart, you don't have to move. I will bring the fish to you. ' F23 is such a devoted mother 🥰 she doesn't want to leave E24 and the egg 😘

[@yourenough3]

Thanks so much for this lady hawk ❤ this was beautiful and so touching ❤❤

[@MrPaoTrieu]

It's wonderful, how many days of waiting for the pair of eagles to incubate the eggs, now the baby birds have hatched so lovely. Thank you very much

[@HazelEyezMom]

M15 a thoughtful and sweet daddy. He loves his kids. The way he gives Lady F23 pieces of fish are such tender moments. Humans could definitely learn a thing or two. ❤

[@alexandrabda5956]

Oh Lady Hawk, how sweet was that??!!!! I think M15 will provide some new preys and F23 will be the first to feed E24.I have 50% chance to be right 😅

[@wa4775]

The New Baby Eagle must be tuckered right out after hatching! She/he was chirping so loud all the while when bursting out of her shell! Singing & singing! I’m thinking F23 will wake up Sunday morning & be the first parent to feed the baby? 💝

[@respectnature]

I watched this live: F23 was like these first-time parents who push their children to walk before learning to crawl!! M15 was like: 'calm down, darling, we 'll feed the baby when it is time'

[@arlineleven9744]

It’s beyond words! Thank you so much for providing viewing of this incredible process!

[@user-fh2mr9cg6y]

This precious moment is so beautiful. Pure love. Bless them. ❤❤❤❤

[@GloriaMauger]

Thank you Lady Hawk for another great video. Amazing video by to great parents. And their love for their baby. So cute with E24 laying close to Egg #2. Precious moments of nature at its very best. ❤🦅🐣🥚

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

F23 has learned much from M15. They are a wonderfully mated pair, and I look forward to all the beautiful moments we'll have this eaglet season. I'll always miss and remember Ozzie and Harriet. Their nest legacy lives on.

[@Jennifer.Rose24]

Oh my goodness this had me and hubby dying. M15 looked so perturbed...his body language and facial expressions were 🤣🤣🤣 . Poor F, she really did try. Thank you for documenting such a memorable day at this nest Lady Hawk, it was an exciting and beautiful hatch and we were glued to the stream all day! Welcome to the world E24, you seem like a special little eagle who is so loved already.

[@judycoyne7818]

M doesn’t appear to be hungry refusing fish offered by F!!! Guess he’s too eggcited to eat!!

[@leticias520]

God bless this fam.

[@michelle1970]

I think F23 will give the bite but M15 will be hovering over wanting to be in there to do it

[@EmmaDee]

Reckon she finds this to be a celebration meal? Breaking Bread or in this case fish?

[@marysaltlife1427]

Hello, Lady Hawk! Question for you...could the partial shell cause Egg 2 any hatching delays if not dislodged? Just curious; it'll probably get moved.

[@lilim9887]

I was wondering about that as well. Sort of worrisome. Hope all will be fine. Blessings!!

[@MarcyK819]

I LOVE this! 💯❤️

[@vickysikora3394]

This is not nature, this is God's hand in the miracle of life. Humans & animals alike

[@carolholm5704]

She may be offering bites to him to feed to the baby.

[@chogan201]

They need to get rid of the egg shells from the other egg so the second egg can hatch properly...😮

[@ВераГришина-и9п]

Сейчас плохая ситуация. Скорлупа от первого птенца лежит рядом со вторым яйцом. И эта скорлупа приклеился к второму яйцу. Если это случится то со вторым птенцом будет проблема. Ему трудно будет выйти из яйца. Птицы скопы сразу убирают скорлупу из гнезда и голуби тоже.

[@crism4932]

Morning Lady Hawk, ? How long after E24 being born will mom and dad start feeding little bits of food?

[@judy6348]

I think M but he is going to watch to see if F23 will feed first. If not then he will. My guess. 😁😊❤️

[@CissyBrazil]

Little bed head 😅

[@annwilliams1073]

Is it detrimental to the 2nd egg to have a half shell over it? It may be getting ready to pip. Hope f23 removes that shell

[@Sallyk64]

Is that normal for the male to be so into wanting to be brooding his chick's?

[@Firebird-65]

❤
