Thank u Vicki for the wonderful videos of the eagle family.

[@joannesommer3531]

Thank thank thank you for all that you do to capture M and Harriet and the E’s. The pas few weeks I have not been able to watch due to personal issues, so I am glad I can now sit down and watch your videos to get caught up. We sure will all miss the juvies while they discover their own future. Thank you again Vicki.... until next season 🦅🦅🥚🥚💕💕

[@wskrsnwings]

Joanne Sommer, thinking of you. I am glad you can now catch up on the E's escapades.

[@marycebzanov5633]

Thank you for giving us an amazing look at season 9. May god keep you safe and healthy. Have a wonderful off season. See you in season 10.

[@mariaparra7138]

Wonderful and great parents 💔💔miss the precious eagles 💧💧

[@suzannesnow7485]

Thanks, Vicki! Beautiful morning shots of the full moon & of our proud and amazing Harriet & M15. We must trust the Eagles as they don’t seem to be worried about E17 & E18… and rightly so as they both were so well prepared to face their continued journey from Juvenile to Eagle Adults! 💞🦅🦅🦅🦅💞

[@DrJWR1]

Thanks, Vicki! (Sniff, Sniff!) We're happy for you, E17 & E18, yet, we're still sad to see you go. Travel safely, hunt successfully!

[@tcoleman8665]

Thank you for your lovely videos, they helped make my first season even more enjoyable. I peek in on other nests but none of them have captured my heart like Harriet & M15. I can’t wait to follow them in the off-season and with their next brood. You are appreciated. Have a wonderful summer.

[@vonda3229]

Thank you Vickie for all your videos of the eaglets and M and Harriet! Without them I would have missed so much. Give bless you!!! ❤️🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@lilbirdztube3698]

Two more juvenile eagles in the world. Congratulations Harriet and M15 on a job well done.

[@andreah7391]

My heart is heavy but I know these gorgeous juveniles deserve a wonderful Eagle Life! How can I be sad and happy at the same time? Fly high babies and know we love you and pray for you! May you always find food beautiful ones! Thank you again Vicki! Love to you precious lady!

[@terijohnson3110]

[@mariemcallister7413]

Thank you Vicky for all your great videos and commentary so take care and we'll see you next season

[@ellenriemann576]

M and Harriet certainly do deserve a good break.These two are amazing.Im so grateful to you for always bringing us Beautiful videos and your knowledge on Eagles have taught me so much.I still learn something new all the time.Im sad they left but like you told me last year; Its because they wanted to leave.😀 and I know they know how to steal food excellent.

[@wren1114]

Thank you Vickie for everything, your super video captures, thoughtful eagle knowledge & sweet narration! TY Beautiful new beginnings! TY!🌙

[@sorayanazarian7432]

THANKYOU so much for all you guys are doing and God bless everyone

[@ptnickb]

It has been an amazing season. The purpose of E17 and E18 is made even more powerful by what they have overcome. CROW healed their eye condition, M15 and Harriet overcame GHO attacks early on to bring the eaglets into their development. The things and obstacles that the Outer Ring of Angels has protected them against too. E 17 and E18 have been diligently and lovingly prepared, and are ready to thrive. They may come back, or not, but let the spirit of protection be with them either way. If they have left it is the hope that E17 and E18 met somewhere in the northerly skies, and are now side by side again. Let the spirit of E3 , E5, Ozzie and E14 watch over you with each dusk and dawn chortle. TYSM. Vicki.

[@eileenjones3918]

I think Dad really misses the kids...what a good Dad....but he needs rest as well as Harriet. Hope the kids are together , helping each other. You gave us plenty of good memories of the kids and you worked hard too.....Rest up for the next round of little ones. Thank You and God Bless and keep you. XO

[@jaymefruit5551]

[@nextpagepj9058]

It's always so bittersweet knowing they've left for good. Year after year, it never gets easier. Good luck and God bless you both, E17 and E18! Praying for your safety, happiness, and success!!

[@wskrsnwings]

Andra Davis, so glad you found this amazing eagle family. Hugs.

[@KiwiKiwi902]

I feel so lost. Home from work no more running to the computer to see what I missed. Prayed everyday that each Eagle would get a meal. My heart would drop everytime one didn't get to eat for a day. I miss you precious babies. You are my first Eagle family. So lucky to have watched you both grow to beautiful teens. Each with there own personality. Esp. the fact that E17 was a male and E18 grew into a big girl!!! Surprised! One big beautiful girl and one handsome boy. Well done H & M well done my babies!! Still crying..it's not knowing if they are safe and fed..that is the hardest part. If I knew I could let go.....love you E17 & E18!

[@larryx1707]

Same here and well said....have a great day☺

[@wskrsnwings]

Blondie22, I am so glad you watched this family this season. The first time you see one leave and not return, it is hard as it is usually without warning. Be happy in your heart for them too as this is what they have worked toward since the day they hatched. Hugs.

[@chuckdavis2253]

You are making me cry!

[@odd3554]

Bye babies, you got this.

[@janemiller1080]

Thank you Vicki for your unstoppable coverage with our precious eagles. You are awesome. Fly high E17 and E18. Another stellar job from Harriet and M15,and YOU 🙂🙂

[@kathleenclark1866]

Thanks to everyone for this season. It had new adventures along the way. We learned new things, and loved our babies being so close after the bonking stopped. Thank you so much! Much love. Harriet and M, you are an awesome pair.

[@DJinOcalaFla]

What first began as a very unique season, with #E16 hanging out much longer than usual and H & M starting a new nest and then focusing again on the "home" nest once #E16 finally went on their way, has ended as a very successful and wonderful season after all. You wonder if #E17 & #E18 will travel together at least for a while, they seemed to be very close... Fly high, Fly safe wherever you may go. Thank you Vicki for EVERYTHING you do. God bless.

[@wskrsnwings]

DJinFla, it was E15 that hung out much longer than any of the other juveniles. I like to think E17 & E18 are traveling together.

[@DJinOcalaFla]

@@wskrsnwings You know, I hesitated when I typed #E16... lol. Sorry E16, didn't mean to "falsely accuse"...

[@wskrsnwings]

@@DJinOcalaFla 😄😂

[@alicehurst2234]

A well deserved rest for H & M. 💞 Much gratitude to you, Vicki!🥰 Fly safe and eat well sweet E’s. 🦅💕🦅

[@ranran5255]

I hope you're eating well. 、、、、?

[@Peggy180]

Thank you so much, Vicki. Your videos mean so much to all of us. Looking forward to summer editions 🙂 Hope we’ll see you on final chat. ❤️🦅

[@terib3625]

Thank you so much & have a wonderful week‼️ ❤️🦅🦅

[@judylarosee5326]

Thank You for that info on the E’s

[@tschouten1]

Isn’t it possible that they are off camera somewhere and being taught how to hunt? Hopefully they are doing good and healthy and happy! Good luck E’s and thank you Vickie!

[@marypritchett115]

Possible but not likely. This is the normal age for juvies to leave their parents. Eagles do not need to be taught to hunt any more than kittens must be trained to pounce. It is inherent in their dna. They know how to steal food and they have been introduced to all sorts of different kinds of food. That is all they need. The rest comes naturally. 😃

[@KiwiKiwi902]

Thank you@@marypritchett115 That is what I needed to hear. I was worrying because the mortality is 50% the first year. I know there is plenty of food there. This gives me great comfort coming you, as this has been your life as well over the years with Harriet and M15 . They picked your serene beautiful property to make their home! You are so blessed. God Bless you and take care!!

[@wskrsnwings]

tschouten1, it is possible, but most likely they have left their natal area. The E's will be around other eagles, watching them hunt and try it on their own too. But their main source of food the first year is stealing from others and eating roadkill.

[@wskrsnwings]

@@marypritchett115 actual hunting is learned, and takes practice and skill. You are correct that they know to steal and find roadkill to eat and learned well about stealing wilen they were still here.

[@wskrsnwings]

@@KiwiKiwi902 Mary Pritchett is not one of the "Pritchett(s)" who own the property and cams.

[@chungle8832]

I am worried about E17 and E18, they leave too early, hope they safe and can find their own foods!

[@Peggy180]

Try not to worry. 120 days is a normal time for them to go. They were doing so well with their flying I feel they were as ready as they could be. I hope too, as every year, that they will do well and find good food. ❤️🦅

[@alicehurst2234]

No need to worry. They are following instinct. They have learned well from capable parents. Fly safe and hunt well. 🦅💕🦅

[@wskrsnwings]

chung le, 120 days is a normal age for them to leave... 4-6 weeks after they fledge. They were taught well how to survive stealing food from each other and their parents.

[@chungle8832]

Thank you Vicki. Hope they doing well💕

[@armywidow6004]

Good thing you weren't in the line of fire from M15' ps. Lol.

[@larryx1707]

Lol

[@wskrsnwings]

😂😄

[@nancyc1674]

When will they next again do you think?

[@wskrsnwings]

Nancy Carver, Harriet usually lays eggs late November.

[@michellegrovak]

How long have you been doing this, Miss Vicky?

[@wskrsnwings]

GrandmaChelle23, I have been recording this nest since the cams went live in October 2012.

[@michellegrovak]

@@wskrsnwings wonderful! E17 and 18 were my first. Thank you for your service!

[@wskrsnwings]

@@michellegrovak so glad you're here.

[@hodie333]

I have enjoyed watching E17 and E18. I started watching when they were returned to the nest after medical treatment. Were they ever sexed or banded? I miss them already.

[@wskrsnwings]

Lily Hopper, the E's were not tested for sex or banded while they were at CROW.

[@sorayanazarian7432]

Are the eaglets being safe at this age and can they hunt on their own?

[@wskrsnwings]

Soraya Nazarian, both are very good flyers and have encountered many different things and done well. So we all hope they remain safe. As far as hunting on their own, first year juveniles mainly survive stealing food from others and eating roadkill while they attempt to catch things on their own. They also learn to hunt watching others and following others to adequate food sources.

[@spiritsealed9408]

Yes a week without ur videos will seem forever. Its slways a bummer when the little ones leave. They left do fast this season an behind our backs. No clue it would happen so quick. Who knows e15 came home after a week. U never know

[@lindaives2352]

Vicki, thank you so much for your beautiful videos.. your love and knowledge of our wonderful eagle family is so appreciated!!! It seems with every video I watch, I learn something new! We all feel like we know you and we all have so much affection for you, so I pray God's blessings on you. Have a fun summer and look forward to the next season!

[@wskrsnwings]
