SWFL Eagles- M15 & F23 Nestorations, Close Ups, Beakings, and Aerial Acrobatics

Experience the breathtaking bond between M15 and F23, a noble pair of bald eagles, as they prepare for a new chapter in their remarkable journey. This awe-inspiring footage captures the essence of their connection as they work in perfect harmony, meticulously weaving sticks and carefully placing strong branches to build a sanctuary in the sky.
Every movement they make is a testament to their enduring partnership, while their unique communication-marked by the gentle snap of their beaks-reflects the balance of respect and understanding between them. It's not conflict, but a beautiful display of unity and mutual strength, reminding us of the powerful bonds that guide their world.
Though the official bald eagle nesting season in Florida begins on October 1st, nature's timeline follows its rhythm. Here, we witness M15 and F23, already hard at work, laying the foundation for the adventures to come. With every branch they place, hope for the future takes flight, promising a season filled with wonder and possibility.

Harriet trained M to be a good Dad, now M training F23 to be a good Mom. The cycle of life goes on, even though we miss Harriet terribly, we are happy to watch this family continue❤

At 5:32 M was staring directly at you..

Truly Outstanding Video! Kinda hard to Believe it's that time Already! Seems like it's such a long wait till the next Season and then Before we Know it Its Here! Looking forward to this Season! No Offense to anyone but I Like M15s name, Just Something about it. It would be Nice to just keep it in Remembrance of Harriet and M15. A Very Special Pair of Eagles 🤎🧡

[@wallygator325]

Thankyou for yet another wonderful video of the amazing M and F. I have followed this nest since E21 and E22 hatched. Then sadly, we lost Harriet. The mighty M raised his eaglets alone, and battled against 3 rogue eagles. Then one huge female came to the upper branch. M knew she was different and let her stay, and gradually fell in love with her. And she was given the name of F23. Time and again, she has proved that his faith in her was totally the right decision. Their bond is now so strong, they love each others company and have already provided an amazing eaglet in E23. They constantly impress me with their understanding of each other, and their ability to work together.

[@joycekirkpatrick4503]

M15 and F23 look great. Harriet would be proud he raised their's and carried on with a great new mate. Can't wait for our new season. Thank you

[@gracestrand2240]

Oh Harriett- she must be here in spirit

[@Rainwatercolor]

It's been a few years, after M15 lost his mate Harriet, my heart was too sad to watch. Happy to hear their little one this last season matured and began it's journey. This warms my heart, thanks for sharing this amazing pair. I have such deep respect for him. He sure can pick his mates! She's been there for him since they first met.

[@vonroe6910]

Beautiful video, thank you from UK My heart still aches at the loss of Harriet, but M15 has found the perfect mate in F23 and together they had and raised the adorable E23 M15 is just perfect and proved that when he raised E21&E22 on his own, did a fantastic job. I am really looking forward to this new season and wish them both a very successful one🦅🥚🥚🦅❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes Rocky is a good name for him and how about Maybelline for her.

They look beautiful, can't wait for the cameras to come up live.

[@donnacaywood4533]

It took me a while when M15 found another mate in F23. I still Love Harriet, she disappeared 2 years this coming February. M15 was a great Father, Harriet trained him well. I Love F23 or E23. She and M15, raised one Eaglet this past year, A Beautiful Eaglet. Look forward to them having more than one Baby. ♥️🦅♥️

[@faithhutton1459]

I was thinking about Harriet today. I thought of her as the Einstein of the eagle world. She was always doing something remarkable. Harriet had a long and good life. I am happy for that. M15 has adjusted to his new mate. I'm sure they have a lot to teach one another. Certainly more to teach us. Looks like we have much to look forward to! Thanks for the wonderful pictures!

Thank you TRSP for a new video from you this up and coming new season with Magnificent15 and Lady F23 too. They sure do look fantastic no doubt and quite healthy too. I’m so excited for this season to come (even though I have to wait a little longer) but, getting to see videos from you and other photographers and MODS too is definitely worth seeing and sure makes me smile too.😁❤️🦅🦅 Thanks agwin and God Bless you and also Magnificent15 and Lady F23 too.

Good to see these two getting ready for a new nesting season. Can this pair be named like other eagle pairs. Some suggested Rocky for M15 and I would like to suggest Maybelline for F23.🥰🦅🦅

[@LaurieFloodTeacher]

The only rightful name for M15 would be Majestic. Anything less is beneath him.

[@melissamcclain34]

Your video description is just as incredible as the footage you captured. Its so good seeing M15 and F23 and am excited at the promise of a new season 🦅❤🦅💙 @RSP do you know if any maintenance was done on the cameras during the off season, like unblocking the view on Camera 2?

[@TheRealSaundersPhotography]

I am not aware of any maintenance done to the cameras. Thank you for watching the video 🫶❤️🦅

[@retired0307]

How old is M15?

[@TheRealSaundersPhotography]

M15 was believed to have been born around late 2009 to early 2010, so placing him at around 13 years and 9 months would be quite close. Eagles typically reach maturity around 4-5 years, and M15 has been a seasoned father for many years. It's incredible to think how much experience he has gained over that time! Thank you for watching the video!

[@kcloveonaleash]

​@@TheRealSaundersPhotographyThe best Father of any species ❤

[@susanmorris5520]

@@TheRealSaundersPhotography I totally agree with your answer back to this person about Magnificent15. He is also definitely one awesome daddy too.❤️🥰👍🏻🦅

[@stuartkatz682]

I saw up in Alaska this summer that Eagle nest are big. How big is M15 and F23’ nest?

[@TheRealSaundersPhotography]

I estimate the nest is 5-6 feet wide based on the wingspan when the eagles land. Thank you for watching the video!

[@stuartkatz682]

@@TheRealSaundersPhotography That’s what I thought. That is what we were told at an eagle rescue in Alaska.
