SWFL Eagles_ Early Appearance By F23 ~ Cameos By Red-headed Woodpecker-Wood Storks-Horses 10.24.23

F23 was in the nest tree when I arrived this morning. She was watchful with occasional tracking and a few vocalizations as she perched on the branch 'stub' above the nest cam. F23 flew North behind the church and eventually was seen perching on the tall pole to the NW behind the Pritchett offices. M15 was not seen this morning. A Red-headed woodpecker, 2 Wood Storks and the resident horses kept us company while we waited to see if the eagles would return. No nest work today while I was there but there is plenty of time left to "finish it up" before it is needed for egg laying.
Thank you SWFEC, hosted by Dick Pritchett Real Estate, for providing & maintaining suitable trees & environment for this Bald Eagle Family. www.SWFLEagleCam.com
Thank you to Dick Pritchett Real Estate (SWFEC), Church of the Nazarene, Eagle Landing & several friends for allowing me to film on their premises.
And thank you to my 'spotter'.

What a huge, beautiful nest! Thank you so much for the video. Always love the ground footage, it adds a lot of missing perspective with the cameras.

Hi Vicki 🦅❤

[@DrJWR1]

A Barred owl called while you were explaining where F23 was perched. Beautiful sound! “Who cooks for you?”

[@cindythomas5895]

Oh Vicki she is looking at you like Harriet always did, I think M told his new lady that you are the “eagle whisperer “ ❤️☺️

[@shirley9240]

Thank you, Vicky! F23 is beautiful!

[@suzannesnow7485]

❤Thanks, Vicki! Loved how you captured all the pasture visitors this morning! Wish you would have been able to see M15 as we know how much he means to you! 💞🦅🦅💞

[@Nightlife52]

Thank you for your hard work!👍. Those two fly around like hummingbirds when they get warmed up!!! 👍🤣

[@cj57]

Kind of hoping the owl family won't use nest 2 this season. They were hard on M15 last season.

[@lisajenkins9775]

Yes they were I hope they don’t come back to!

[@sandy89107]

Thank you, Vicky. I come to see the Eagles; I stayed to see the horses.😊 TYSM

[@LemonLadyRecords]

G'morning! 😊 I'm having a little fantasy that her hormones are raging or she's making an egg. Probably first time things for her, so maybe she'd be up early. She's like, "M! Get your cute rectrices (tail feathers) over here!" 😂🤣 Maybe, we shall see if my fantasy comes true. 🤞 But gosh, her primaries are incredible! ❤️🦅🦅

[@carolwisniewski6740]

Ha!

[@jojolatoune]

[@lisajenkins9775]

Thank you Vicki for your awesome video!!! I loved seeing all the birds and the horses ! I really gotta get a camera like you have! What kind do you use and what lens do you use when your watch the eagles? I don’t know how you get up so early to come here, you are a wonderful women! God bless you , stay safe and well🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

They don’t usually fly when it’s that dark,do they?

[@DrJWR1]

Thanks, Vicki!

[@elainetrindle329]
