SWFL Eagles_E15 Is Back! M15 Provides For All ~ Breakfast For E15 & Attempt To Rebuild Nest 09-24-20

E15 returned to the nest tree last evening and was still there, perched on the veranda branch, vocalizing away when I arrived this morning. Harriet, on the attic branch, and M15, in a snag in the west pasture, showed tolerance for E15's presence and watched their territory before flying off to the SW chasing a bird flying too close to the nest area. E15 flew too, but went south to perch in the pine by yonder pond. E15 watched alertly for a chance to "grab" breakfast. E15 got that chance as h/she saw Harriet fly back to the nest and M15 approaching in the distance with prey. E15 beat M15 to the nest and claimed the prey. Harriet flew to the attic and M15 flew to the pond. Harriet flew off again to check out another bird flying in the area. M15 walked up the bank, looking for a stick, grabbed one and returned to the nest, only to find E15 flapping her wings at him and covering her food. M15 attempted to place the stick but E15 went after him, so M flew up above the nest. M15 showed what a great provider he is this morning bringing his Season 8 offspring food and trying to continue rebuilding the nest for his Season 9 offspring-to-be. How long E15 will stay, we do not know. And we just keep learning about the eagle way of life from this amazing family.

Home is where the heart belongs and I guess that goes for Eagles too. To us viewers it’s a great thing to have E15 return to her nest tree as we all have gotten so very much attached to her. I personally will leave the future to the Eagles and just enjoy E15 as much as possible ❣️ Thank You Vicki for filling us in of the family’s whereabouts, I really appreciate YOU ❤️🦅❤️

Thank you Vicki for another great update!! You must have an awesome camera to be able to get the good close-ups that you capture. Love your commentary of this little family and the write-ups that you do along with your videos. So informative. You stay safe out there and I look forward to your next visit to the nest.

[@lilbirdztube3698]

I am concerned about E15's return for food and interfering with nest work, but if Harriet and M15 are tolerating it, I guess it's all right. "Failure to launch" is taking on a whole new meaning. It was reassuring to hear your comment about the parents not seeing E15 as a threat.

Wow! It is sure a rare sight indeed to see a juvenile at the nest this time of year when adults are trying to prepare the nest for the coming season. Every juvenile on every nest I watch has left and parents are all rebuilding and getting reacquainted. This is such a beautiful sight. I hope she finds some others to migrate up the coast with. My prayers are with her and praying E16 is full, safe, and soaring high! Thank you Vicky for all you do keeping us updated! God Bless you🙏💗🦅💗💗💗

If and when she decides to leave. ❤️🦅🦅🦅❤️

Anna Hall-Mayzik, thank you for watching. I don't think weather had anything to do with E15's return. Southern FL saw no more than our usual summer weather pattern. I think E15 just decided to return.

Thank you, Vicki, for another amazing video of this amazing little family. We do learn from them daily, don't we?

[@PAngel777]

Great vid showing other views besides the LIVE Cam! I knew E15 did not go far so was not surprised to see E15 return to Nest Home yesterday evening. And E15 was by herself tucked in for the night when Harriet & M15 came rushing to the Attic defending against an intruder (not E15) and seemed to be protecting E15. They startled E15 but all 3 were vocalizing and defending the nest as an intruder was flying above or near the Nest. Was it an Owl I wondered? E15 loves her Home and cannot blame her. I also thought she had some crop and assumed E15 has been doing well or okay. Love your vids and the way you talk so lovingly to E15 & Family (which most of us do at our viewing devices.)

[@wskrsnwings]

Empressangel, it most likely was an owl or another eagle approaching their nest tree. They were not vocalizing at E15, you're correct. Yes, E15 did have a crop so has been eating, whether on her own or supplemented by the adults.

[@erinascencio3250]

E15 is such a BIG, little stinker! 😂 I'm anxious to see how everything ultimately turns out. Fingers crossed that it all goes well. I'm sure being a juvenile eaglet is not an easy life, given what I've read about their survival rates. I'll continue to stay positive in thinking that both E15 and E16 will fly high, with full bellies and have wonderful adventures and future families! Thank you Vicki for the excellent video view today! I've been watching the Live cam but it's currently not showing too much. At least not until the other cams are back Live! I really enjoy your commentary! It makes watching so much more special than just watching a video without it. Gotta love this beautiful family and how I love to watch and learn from them! ❤🦅

Theresa Dupuis, correct, E15 has no mate and won't have a desire for one or a nest until 5 years from now. The juveniles travel nomadically during their years to maturity finding groups of other single adults/ juveniles/sub adults to steal food from and watch others hunt and try it themselves many times before a successful catch.

Hello Europa Europa! Right now, one would know it's E15 from her Squeeing!...Lol. Seriously, I recall having read something a couple years back how the bond lessens. From the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Bald Eagle Fact Sheet, it states "At 17-23 weeks of age, the bond between the Eagle Adults and their young fades and the Adults no longer tolerate harassment from their offspring." If you do Google search of Bald Eagle Facts, you can download their PDF file. Their website: www.fws.gov Blessings,

After E15 is done eating, especially in the evenings, one or both parents immediately jump into the nest to "clean up" every scrap of food. It's like with that last one they're teaching her that they can't attract intruders with food scraps, nothing goes to waste and/or that if E15 thought she was leaving a snack for later, she'll have to catch her own and stash it somewhere ;-)

Cr Kwon, I am Wskrsnwings. Lady Hawk is a different person who also does videos without narrative (from the live cam at her home) where I do live videos from the nest with narrative. As far as E15 finding her own food... Hunting takes skill and practice. Some are not good hunters even at maturity. At least through the first year, the juveniles get food by stealing from others and eating carrion. The parents will feed them at times as they learn on their own as long as they remain in the area. As far as E15's balance... E15 does not always land awkwardly or miss the landing. We have no other juvenile his/her age to compare how they act at this age, but I think we would see the same lack of strength and coordination. First year juveniles are naturally unsteady with landings, flights, eating, and many other things. They are still learning, honing not only their hunting skills, but their flying skills. As far as what will happen as the time for laying eggs gets closer (late November), we just have to wait and see. No one knows what will happen except our eagles. How nice you saw an eagle. They do not always return to the same place or flight path every day.
