Beautiful..🦅👀🤗👍👋❤️💚🪹

[@DianeStiner]

Aaww look at him mighty M15 is so softly diligent and tender with his eggies 🥚🥚💕

[@lb1460]

He is amazing.❤🦅🦅

[@sergei7995]

I'm looking forward to see two fluffy babies. They care about their eggs very well!😊 Thanks a million for your video!❤

[@Terri_Stauffer]

I can only think something important kept F23 away for that long, like intruding eagle in territory. No worries M15 up for the challenge. I’m sure we all breathed a sigh of relief when he returned. 😊

[@androcat12]

Terri Stauffer. That is my thought also. There are so many eagles around there. I think most people don’t really grasp how dense the SW region is, especially along the river (any rivers, for that matter).

[@DianeStiner]

@@androcat12 Thank you Androcat for this information. I specially, cannot imagine there are many BaldEagles in your SW region because we don't have any here 🙁. So, it is difficult to be aware of more that is shown on the videos.

[@androcat12]

@DianeStiner. YW 🙂. I understand that. Eagles pass through the general area around the nest pasture regularly, usually not seen on the cams. I (and others) have recorded and/or photographed eagles while at the nest, and when I check the cams later, they were not even in the cam view. The cams cannot see everything at once, or all areas. And the cams at SWFL show a lot more than any other eagle cam I am aware of. 🦅🦅

[@femkedegraaff9032]

It worried me that F23 was gone for a long break. But maybe she had to chase away an intruder , as M15 was leaving his precious eggs for a short while watching something in the distance .

[@androcat12]

@femkedegraff9032. It does tend to worry is when something is out of the ordinary. She may have had to chase someone out, or just perch in a sentry post to get the message out there. It’s hard to know, since she was not in cam view. I always figure if she is away that long, she needed to be, whatever the reason was. 🙏🏻💙

[@femkedegraaff9032]

@androcat12 certainly she had a good reason! But as in human life, you get worried when a child is not coming home as usual.

[@androcat12]

@femkedefraff9032. Of course we worry 😕. My biggest fears are roadkill and power lines. 🙏🏻💙

Magnificent15 surly doesn’t mind staying with his eggies🥰🦅🥚🥚. He truly enjoys being there with them too. It’s good to see that he has had a couple of crop drops so, he did eat before he arrived for his long shift.👍🏻🥰🦅 F23 knew the eggs were in good talons with daddy M and needed to maybe make sure the area was safe from unwanted visitors and also to just get a break for herself too. We do know how daddy Magnificent15 doesn’t like yo leave his eggs when it’s F23’s time to incubate.😂🦅❤️She always returns when she’s ready to relieve M15. The eggs look awesome and I just love how Magnificent15 always looks at his eggs when he goes to roll them and where he steps too. So slow and gentle which shows how he loves his eggs and E’s after they hatch too. Thank you Androcat for this awesome and precious video. God bless to you and also to our favorite Eagle couple Magnificent15 and LadyF23 with their eggies too. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🦅🦅🥚🥚🥰🙏🌴👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻😘❌⭕️

[@androcat12]

@susanmorris5520. It is amazing how incredibly gentle they are with their precious eggs. I am confident F23 was gone for a longer time than normal because she needed to be. I am happy everything was fine. M15 has covered long shifts before, and it was good to see him doing crop drops. 🦅🦅

[@susanmorris5520]

@ I feel that the reason F23 had to be gone was because she had to check the area to make sure there weren’t any intruders that were ready to come around the nest. I was pleased too to see that M15 had two crop drops too. I always worry when either M or F do long shifts whether they had a chance to eat or not. I’m sure they both definitely make sure they have at least a littlw something in their bellies when they feel or know they’re gonna have to do long shifts. They’re awesome Eagles.💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️🦅🦅. Have an awesome and blessed night. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida

[@PriscillaD225]

Have to admit I was becoming concerned when F23 was away from the nest for such a long time. 6 hours is more than an incubation switch! Of course our Mighty M15 had everything under control and I was very relieved to see her land on the attic. F23 is always full of surprises. Thank you very much Androcat 💙🦅🦅💙

[@DigitalPixel_AnimalLover]

Yes, F23 away so long was worrying, to say the least! Glad all is right in their world! We use the same sign off symbols, except for hearts color 😊 ❤🦅🦅❤️

[@PriscillaD225]

@@DigitalPixel_AnimalLoverYes we worry. Great minds think alike! 😉❤️🦅🦅❤️

[@androcat12]

@PriscillaD225. YW 🙂. It’s hard not to worry when something is out of the ordinary. M15 has done longer shifts a few times. He knows what’s going on, even if we don’t. 💙🦅🦅💙

[@androcat12]

@DigitalPixel_AnimalLover. Another name? I think we watch cams just to have something to worry about! 😉😂
