SWFL Eagles ~ F23 CASTS A Pellet! 😲 Tries To Cast 2nd One But Can't! Anhinga Catches Fish! 2.6.25

[@lauralewis3769]

Praying she remains healthy.

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

So happy they are well. Losing both eaglets was devastating. 😢

[@sherylmassey8388]

I thought i saw a gator go by when Anhinga was trying to get fish off of her beak and thought for sure it would wind up with the fish! If it was a turtle it had to be a big one by the size of its nose/eyes!

[@maryannwaruszewski4229]

Thank you for this video, Lady Hawk, and thevimportant information. Continuing to pray for M15 and F23 for good health!

[@pearliecreamcheese]

Great video! Glad to see that F and M are doing better. Looks like she has a bit of a crop, that's good. That poor fish! Got the life slapped out of it before being downed..... holy crop, Anhinga! That sub-adult really needs to move on, there are plenty of other trees. Thanks, Lady Hawk. 😎

[@nissy9776]

Blessings and prayers for you F23 and our precious M15 too 🦅 🦅🙏🏼. Thank you lady Hawk ❤

[@janwarriner6554]

I always wondered how they could digest certain things. Now I know they don’t! Ty LH ❤️. Continued 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for their good health.

[@lwilliamsmasters1990]

Poor F23 looks rough...hope she's feeling ok

[@suzycat2026]

Thanks@Lady Hawk , good to see M15 & F23 together ❤ Poor Dear, she was all ruffled up after casting, prayers they are both healthy 🙏🏻 That Anhinga bird looked like a snake going along the water! It deserved that meal, how many times I thought fish is escaping! So much life in that pond, so many pairs of eyes watching 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

May the Lord keep you beautiful regal birds in his embrace and keep you both healthy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🦅🦅

[@Lianes_112]

It's amazing how thousands of people love and care for this eagle family and their cozy and lovely nest. 😢❤️‍🩹🐥🐥

[@LauraBzar-bk5sd]

So sad that traffic is their environment. Heartbreaking.

[@StuartCarmichael-r4r]

Happy to see them and continuing to pray for them - thank you so much, Lady Hawk.

[@southofi10]

Always happy to see them. M’s eyes look good, too. TY LH 😊

[@takemetothesea6238]

Well, all things being equal, I'm happy to see F's bodily functions working normally. It means she's eating and she's also getting rid of unwanted intake. 😍Anhinga really worked hard for THAT one!!!😆

[@brandiosborn7443]

They look so good ... ! I'm hopeful we get more info from CROW on how birds (in this case M15 & F23) build immunity. I'm assuming it's from being exposed; however, that's prob the 'easy' answer. Regardless, I'm thankful. So. Very. Thankful.

[@melissamcclain34]

Eagles can potentially build some immunity after exposure to avian flu, although the level of immunity will depend on the severity of the initial infection and the specific strain of the virus, with the possibility of passing on some resistance to their offspring over time through natural selection; however, it's important to note that this process is slow and not guaranteed, and eagles can still succumb to the virus even if they've been exposed before.

[@Sternchen2412]

😢❤😢

[@brookereynolds71]

What type of bird is Anhinga? Love how they can swallow fish whole!

[@Ani_Malier01]

So happy to see them together above the nest! I can't imagine sitting in the traffic below waiting for the light to change and seeing M15 and F23 in their nest! What an honor for those below to witness these magnificent bald eagles in person! Still keeping them both in my thoughts and prayers they continue to fight and overcome this avian flu. 🙏❤️🦅🦅❤ Amazing footage of the anhinga catching and eating the fish. Thank you, Lady Hawk! Anyone else see the eyes pop out of the water just before the anhinga swallowed the fish? What was it? see below - probably a turtle - thank you! (not baby gator...)

[@beatricecallan]

I wonder how many of these drivers are even aware of what’s happening just above them…..probably the rest of the world is even more aware of what’s happening…..

[@suzycat2026]

Yes, I also spotted the two eyes peeping out of the water at the end! In my mind I imagined it a turtle wondering what all the noise was about! 😊 It is amazing seeing so much traffic passing, many drivers possibly unaware of the beautiful Raptors iving here.😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Ani_Malier01]

@ thank you! I forgot about the turtles and I forget that people probably are unaware bc I am so immersed in our nest top view. I just can't imagine living that close and not being away of the beauty right there 😊🐢❤️

[@beatricecallan]

@@Ani_Malier01 Many of them are maybe just driving through not knowing anything about? Some might be regular drivers going to work ever day, they might know?

[@mukulsharma2413]

Gorgeous F23 throwing toxins out of her body. My dearest F23 and M15 are super healthy🙏❤❤. Cute Anhinga video shots❤

[@Ladybug23940]

Great to see them both at the nest again. They’re looking better every day! Nice to know F23 is eating as I’m sure M is too. The Anhinga catching and eating that fish was interesting. A big one too! I got a kick out of the way they make sure it’s not breathing anymore… poor thing really. I’m sure it didn’t take long after being banged around like that. It had to take a few sips of water to help it go down too! Nature is weird at times! I did see the two eyes peek out of the water… hmmm, wonder if it is a baby gator! Praying everything continues to go well as it has for M & F. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I also wonder about the nest. They have been down there a few times; though I think the harm would have come from being ingested; so thankful M & F appear to have a strong immune system. ❤May they continue to flourish! Thank you Lady Hawk!

[@DianaDavis-g8e]

I have a eagle cam near where I live .1 years the pair lost their eglets. From the avain flu. Their bouth alive and well.Their laying eggs and sitting on them. I have fath they will be ok.

[@beatricecallan]

That‘s good news! Lets hope for F & M too!! 🙏🏼❤️

[@kathleenmccaffery1313]

The perseverence of the anhinga was great footage LH!! It worked painstakingly long for its fishie meal! 🐟 I imagine it was worth the wait🤗 Prayers for our resident eagle couple. It was delightful to see both keeping company 🦅❤️🦅 Health is wealth ✨

[@lionne5319]

Yes, a snake bird, true! I couldn't watch them trying to get it loose, I so wanted to help them 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for that ... catch, LH and Cam ops.

[@theck672]

Thank you for this video update❣️🙏

[@DonnaBeck-pi3xh]

Healing prayers for M15 and F23

[@EmiW7140]

I remember watching this online when F24 was casting a pellet. She looks ok for me 🙏😊🤞🍀 Just the casting pellet process itself looks rather disturbing for us viewers but for them it is normal biological part of their digestive system 😊 She rouses because of intruder in the tree top, showing who is the boss here ❤🦅💪 Footage with Anhinga is as always fascinating to see like this bird itself 💕 very very special 😍 Good to see old friend Anhinga again in the pond 🙏 Slowly everything is getting back to normal here 🤞🍀💟🙏 Almighty M15 and his beloved M15 are constantly in my thoughts and prayers 🙏❤️ 🦅🦅❤ May Universe protect this fascinating and the best BE couple, pond, the nature and Pritchett Family for giving them safe heaven 🙏❤ Dear Lady Hawk thank you very much for this footage and be blessed 💖🙏🍀🤗 🐝🌺 🍓💗

[@donnagelina8548]

Well she coughed up a nice big one!!

[@ep8865]

Thank you, Lady Hawk for the update. Still sending prayers M15 and F23 🦅

[@CindyPeterson-p1s]

Thank you Lady Hawk

[@lorrainejackson2881]

I hope that F23 will be ok 🙏💛

[@SilvanaSouza-wy5rv]

🥰💞💞 It's a blessing to see these two together in their nest tree!! 🥰🥰 They look so much better each day. 🙏🦅🦅🙏 Keeping them in my fervent prayers and positive thoughts for their health, safety and healing. 🙏🙏💞🙏🙏 Bless their hearts. 🙌💞🙌 Oh yeah!! I loved watching that anhinga catch and eat its fish. 👀 Bon appetit, beautiful anhinga!! 💞💞 Bless this anhinga. 🙏❤️🙏 May God bless our precious eagles, this anhinga and all birds and watch over them always. 🙏💞🙏 Thank you so much for this wonderful coverage, dear Lady Hawk. Take care and be blessed. 💐💙🥰🥰💞🦅🦅💞🙏

[@ringdoorbell3223]

I always love your way with words and the way you use emoticons. I would love to see you in the moderated chat, but I understand that time zones are involved. Still badly missing E24 and E25. These eaglets/eagles have helped me cope with the ongoing difficulties in my life. Stay safe Silvana. Sharon in Philadelphia Pennsylvania

[@lildebboston455]

Holy 💩! What the heck was that ? I saw the water ripple and whatever it is popped it's head up. Then did it once again when the fish went down the hatch. Maybe LadyHawk would know ? 🤨

[@melissamcclain34]

It looked like a snapping turtle

[@suzycat2026]

​@@melissamcclain34that's what I thought too. Woken up & curious about all the noise.😊

[@normadesmond9659]

It was a Florida softshell turtle, notice it's snorkel like nose when it resurfaces again @9:47

[@drr608]

Still Praying for M15 & F23

[@helenaduch5696]

🤠🇺🇸 EAGLE The Best 🩵♥️💛 The NEST 🍒♥️🌹

[@Andijt]

I kinda got a kick out of the slow motion traffic in the background!

[@DaveStarks-ku2jd]

lol not me…. I was in it😆😆

[@yourenough3]

I hope she's gonna be okay!!! 🙏🙏😢

[@Iamtheeaglespotter]

Love and Prayers❤❤🙏🙏🦅🦅

[@karendillard3694]

Question y is the eagle throwing up pellets??

[@donnahunting2835]

Do they build up immunity to the bird flu? I'm so happy to see them back near the nest looking healthy. Is there a chance they would lay more eggs this season? ❤🦅🙏

[@melissamcclain34]

Eagles can potentially build some immunity after exposure to avian flu, although the level of immunity will depend on the severity of the initial infection and the specific strain of the virus, with the possibility of passing on some resistance to their offspring over time through natural selection; however, it's important to note that this process is slow and not guaranteed, and eagles can still succumb to the virus even if they've been exposed before.

[@lionne5319]

People said it's going to be too hot for new eaglets trapped in the tree. So better watch other eaglets for this season 💕

[@ringdoorbell3223]

As much as I would like to see a second clutch, I fear that the nest is to contaminated to be safe. There is another nest that I am watching not too far away. The Capita Island eaglets are a few weeks younger than E24 and E25 and just as close personality wise and I have not seen any beak bonking. I am worried about them.

[@sherriezabriskie1513]

Is there a possibility that fragments of the virus could remain in the nest and how long would be viable

Lady HAwk, do you know why the eaglates passed away??

[@suzycat2026]

Avian flu sadly ❤

[@brookereynolds71]

How many pellets do they pass in a day? Does anybody know?

[@BarbD55]

a snapping turtle in the pond too?

[@DaveStarks-ku2jd]

Is there a gator 🐊 in the pond?

[@Tata-n2f5h]

No, read the description below the video, LH gives an explanation.

[@brandi82]

3:52, what was that horrid high pitch sound?

[@melissamcclain34]

M15

[@moka9144]

that was F23

[@lindaerwin1382]

F23 doesn't look well to me. The shaking of her head and the pellets reminds me how the babies did before they died 😢 ❤❤
