SWFL Eagles ~ E17 Takes A Tumble & Falls Over Backwards! Covered With Soft Grasses! CLOSEUPS 2.5.21

[@Atterga]

That was a good laugh! Finally, where she cannot attack her little brother!

[@marthakratz7877]

And worked off some of her excess energy too, lol.

[@pamelalayman9849]

They look a little confused about were they are! Glad they well now now and back in the nest! God bless all who helped them ! They are so cute! 😊❤🕊

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

Well those who don't fall don't learn to get up. E17 fell backwards, took the opportunity to take a nap, wrapped himself with a sheet of grass to protect himself from the sun and then got up. I would say that he just showed how to take advantage of a challenging situation to learn new skills. Now tell me if that wasn't really beautiful?! 😊💘💕🐥💕

[@melindamasi3505]

That was beautiful indeed Silvana🤩 It's lovely to see you here. Your perspective is always refreshingly real! It is so good to see the babies. I agree E17's fall and recovery to normal proves his growth in strength and skills, such a smart cutie right? ❤️💖💞🥰

[@suzycat2026]

Very sweet ❤🐱♏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦅

[@dianaquinones1453]

So glad they are back! 👍. No bonking yet either! They’re probably tired from the ride home in the bucket truck! Soon they will readjust to home. H&M will be in for a shock to see their babies magically appear! So happy they got such good care. ❤️❤️🦅🦅

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

​@@dianaquinones1453 Me too, dear friend. Harriet and M were surprised when they saw the babies, but received them with open wings and hearts, so to speak. I knew it would be just like that! The bonking session has already started and poor E18 took a ruthless beating by E17. Poor E18.

[@carolynnunes3922]

You write so beautifully, Silvana! Your comment is one that every child needs to hear-and every parent or guardian of young children! It is so inspiring to read! 👍🏾😇👋🏾🥰🙏

[@dianaparret1013]

Hope! There is always Hope have faith, They were able to be treated and survived that experience at crow and now back in nest , saw a parent in nest and they survived that so all looks great we need to keep the faith and hope, be strong for them they seem strong. Remember they got help because of the cam that it was viewed they were not well. Now it’s exciting to see them in their beautiful nest sun is shining . The sun always rises... in so we have hope. Thank you lady hawk for posting and sharing for all of us to see these majestic beautiful creatures created for us by God to enjoy and appreciate. We can learn alot from them!!!!

[@carolynnunes3922]

Faith, hope and love, the three qualities that make life bearable!

[@carolynnunes3922]

This was a great video to watch! Endearing, and a little scary/funny to watch E 17’s legs scrabbling to get a grip in the loose grass! Those legs were working it! To be honest, I thought of how nice this nest is, a most excellent eagle nest! The best ever! That led my mind to Big Bear Lake, and how badly grasses are needed for Shadow and Jackie’s nest! I think of how bare their nest is, and I hope a change is in the works for helping their nest out! It needs a lining of insulation and soft grasses! Now, where was I? Oh, that’s right. I was writing how entertaining this video was! No violence, which was also welcomed!

[@cheex8876]

That bigger eaglet is so feisty! It hurts to watch how mean it is. I know this is how wild animals r but it is ouch!😖

Poor E18, too much aggression from E17. I hope it will survive.

[@diegolove173]

This is a problem now because Crow break the dynamic now the E17 has to establish dominance again

[@melindamasi3505]

@@diegolove173 Hi Diego Love! Rarlier in a recent update CROW reported that they put the E's in their own separate towel nests (as Ladyhawk said, a timeout towel for E17😊) because E18 was bonking fairly aggressively. Her top-dog status and behavior was established early in the babies' relationship and it will continue until it stops, as in all eagle nests. When E17 inevitably grows out of it.🥰

[@wandae9906]

Not sure how I missed this video, but great footage you captured!! Thank you :-) -Hugs

Poor little E 17 fell over and did back stroke until he ran out of steam.

They are so tired after the ordeal of journey & return. To see them near the rails is scary, I think they are hot in Sun.

E17 needs to cover up with grass more often so he/she leaves E18 alone. Reminds me of E15

[@melindamasi3505]

Me too Charlene! E15 was quite aggressive - it probably explains why e16 fledged first, in a beautiful soar, and never looked back😅. I found it so interesting that E15 ended up staying with her parents long past what is considered a normal period of time - like, waaaay past!

*I'M AFRAID* from watching since they were put back in nest... *E18* may not make it!!! Definitely a size difference..*AND* the aggression from E 17; is not helping. *AND* for over 6 hours...I've *NOT* seen them being fed anything!!! I pray..it changes in the next 24 hours!!!

Think positive! They will be fine. I don't like reading negative comments. You're not an expert.

[@Danaman62]

Everybody has opinions and stressors. It’s better to voice your concerns. As it is for all of us. I have faith in the adult Eagles 🦅 to get these little ones to the finish line. Harriet has been doing this a long time.

Both E's are thriving. E18 is just fine, out smarted it's sibling the other day, first one to the "chowline before it's sibling woke up. Lol. Smart bird. The bonking has pretty much stopped, an occasional bonk, but not like before.

Many people say Harriet is back. Where is she now? These E's are in danger if H&M do not protect them. There are owls who attack H&M almost nightly. That being said these kiddos are in peril.

@@recoveringsoul755 Thanks so much. However, I'm still very concerned. E17 seems to be struggling from E18's aggressive behaviour. 17 does not seem like s/he can take much more.

I'm beginning to get seriously concerned for the eaglets. It has been more than 6 hours since they arrived and no food yet. They're beginning to look weak especially E18. Harriet went to get food for them (I think) but hasn't returned yet. M15 is desperately waiting for her to arrive with food so the eaglets can be fed. Its going to get dark soon. I hope Harriet brings some food soon.

[@jenniferjane8977]

Do you think the size difference is that maybe E17 it’s going to be a large female like her mom! Then maybe E 18 is a male...They were both born at the same time seem to eat the same it would make sense. I noticed size difference the most with Harriet and M more then other eagle couples...🧡🧡🧡
