SWFL Eagles_ Comfy As Can Be ~E23 Relaxes On House Roofs & Glides Over Utility Lines 03.26.24

E23 was perched on the veranda branch when I arrived this morning. Shortly after 7:00am E23 was in the attic and then hopping through the nest tree branches before flying across the road toward the subdivision by Yonder pond. I was impressed by E23's confidence, strength and flight maneuverability to see and fly above the utility lines and then spend time on a residential roof taking in "the sights". E23 flew down into the development and then returned to another house roof, watching the area. E23 returned to the nest tree with a crow 'chasing' him/her, once again maneuvering the lines well. Around 8:15am E23 flew to the DSPS (drive side pond snag) and tracked one of the adults flying to the NW before flying to the office oak. E23 already skims the pond for any activity as if he/she is starting to see the pond as a food source. While E23 perched in the office oak, M15 & F23 were seen perching on the NW power poles behind the office. Shortly after 9:00am one of the adults was seen flying the west pasture tree line again back across the road south. E23 flew to a front drive side pine tree to watch for a sighting of F or M. E23 is 86 days old today. There is also footage of the adult Loggerhead Shrike foraging for his fledglings, and one was eating a lizard/anole on a tree root. A Red-bellied Woodpecker and Northern Flicker were also seen in the pasture.

It's wonderful that your "Be safe and be careful" now applies to 3 since E23 started flying around. 😊

Vicki, it was so wonderful spending the day at the nest with you. Thanks for all the good shots of the wildlife and of our sweet E23 ❤🦅🥰

[@eileenjones3918]

Thank You for the nice video...our little Warrior is growing up fast. Soon it will be time to leave ......that's always the tough part. You be safe & be careful OK? See ya

[@Barbelle54]

Awesome videography! Loved seeing the other birds in the area, as well as following E23.

[@heartodixie7677]

Love your videos! You capture our little eagle family so very well. While each family unit is special, my absolute favorite is your Priceless Interactions between E15 and M15 from September 2020. M15 was so very patient with his WeeSquee that day. Whenever I need a laugh, that's where I go. 😂 Thanks so very much.

[@Paula-mq5ch]

I always like your morning videos of our eagle family Thank you Vicki

[@susanowings9435]

Thank you, Vicki, for the beautiful morning you shared with us. Loved the moon. Vicki, you have me talking to the moon and everything else. I love that woodpecker, he is so cute. Your sunset was like a miracle happening in the sky. That E23 isn't a baby, but her/her will always be our baby. I so loved the bond between E23 and mom. E23 made sure mom or dad would see what he has learned. E23 is an outstanding Eagle. I love the way he/her has to land on the smallest branch. Thank you for the video. I love you too. Vicki😇

[@derexy5181]

The way you pulled in the moon for us to see was amazing. Thank You so much Vicki for your commentary and the love in your voice for these wonderful eagles flows thru.💞

[@judithc6577]

[@pascale_eagles]

E23 is such an awesome juvie, so gifted, he's enjoying his life fully ! We can only love that little one. And he's also very very clean lol. It's scary though to see e23 crossing this busy road, it's nail biting. We know he has great genes with M15 but now we know F23s aren't bad lol. And I'm sure Harriet is proud of her mate and e23. This will be the last season I'll be watching the nest in this life and I'm happy and proud to see this beauty thriving. Thank you Vicki for all you've been doing during all those years for our eagles and for us happy watchers!

[@eleonoremiller6348]

Not quite sure what you mean but my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am in a similar situation. Take care

My Dearest Friend Pascale 😇🙏❤🦅🌟💫⭐

@@eleonoremiller6348 I'm sending thoughts and prayers back to you then ❤️🌹🫂🙏

[@ringdoorbell3223]

SHARON SHNEYER, Pascale please don't give up hope. You have so many people rooting for you. If I had money, I would send you a plane ticket to Philadelphia, where we have a number of medical centers doing research. My late Aunt, had this very rare cancer that even the American Cancer Society didn't know much about it. Her particular type of cancer was less than $10,000. She passed from other things, but I remember our former primary doctor saying she would not pass from this cancer. She passed two days before her 93rd birthday and I was with her at the time. Sending prayers and good vibes to you. I remember when you were part of the "French Connection", giving us reports of what was going on at the nest while the rest of us were sleeping.

[@pascale_eagles]

@@ringdoorbell3223 thanks Dear for your very kind message, yes I'm a member of the "french connection"... I have fought 3 cancers, this last one As diagnosed 2 years ago and is very aggressive. I'm treated in the 1st European cancer hospital so they're very good. But to be honest... I don't want to burn my last strength in this. I don't fear death I'm sad for people who will stay behind. Not for me 🥲

[@janmarieharmony2788]

OH! that sweet voice...I love your commentary, video's and wisdom of this nest..I'm always learning from you..I thank You for that..Gorgeous shot of the moon... I'm so loving the infatuation with the pond...He's the cleanest eaglet in the neighborhood and get to chill off a bit to with all the heat/humidity...So Love this little one..Taking in so much now, because the dispersal is coming, a bit later..As always, much love to you, take care, be safe and TY Vicki , TY to the Pritchett Family❤SWFEC❤ DPRE❤

[@pattyp3429]

You have a spotter? Someone who tracks with binoculars- so you can film 🎥???!

[@wskrsnwings]

Yes, a couple of them who watch the activity and alert me when I take notes for my editing later and post observations to our SWFEC team for posting to viewers. And letting the team know what is happening when the eagles are out of cam view.
