SWFL Eagles_ Teamwork: Adding Sticks/Stick Wars, Secure Area From SA/Neighbors, Mating 10.03.23

The female was in the nest tree when I arrived this morning and a sub adult (probably turning 4 years of age) was perched in a pine in the west pasture. M15 arrived to the nest with a stick shortly after 7am. The sub adult did not stay long flying across the road out of sight. The addition of sticks by both started shortly after. Both adults flew at and broke sticks from the trees. M15 also grabbed two sticks from the ground. There was a mating attempt in the nest tree attic. We saw 'stick wars' & 'wing wars' as M15 and the female rearranged sticks in the nest. At 8:45am both M and F flew across the road behind the shopping center returning after 9am to the nest tree and watched their territory closely. Teamwork was evident between these two and I hope the best for both of them in the future. Time will tell.

" Goodbye and don't come back....we're full here,: And your famous chuckle...lol

[@joanbiordi4995]

M, remember how Harriet taught you! Make sure to shore up the sides really well and keep things neat. Harriet taught you well, now it’s your turn to teach your new young lady love how to do nest building. I don’t think she’s ever built one before. 🦅🌳🦅

[@eileenjones3918]

She's showing off for M......" I don't have to fly to the ground , I just grab it off the tree." ha hah ! Another great video of the new couple.....Hope you are happy with Ozzie , Harriet....we miss you. xxxxxxx one for you to Vicki x

Soooo agree, Aqua - wonderful to hear from you here, too - the last post I saw by you was months ago with Jackie & Shadow, and you weren't sure if you were going to make it out of hospital! I prayed for you! Are you all well, now?

I’m still living Day to day with so many health issues but feeling so much better. a couple times there I didn’t think I would make it. I thank you with all my heart for the prayers. They worked. I do have to do Cat scans every 6 months just to make sure it doesn’t come back. I’m so thankful for all of you. Love and hugs. ❤️🤗❤️

[@suzannesnow7485]

Well this partnership seems to be working! Thanks,Vicki! You’re the best! 💞🦅🦅💞

[@lynnehansen1721]

Was thinking possibly one of the kids, the sub adult, came by to visit Mom Harriet. Hoping for a safe season for M and a new mate. Missing Harriet and her many special ways. These two are awesome together. Lots of mating bonding going on. Thank you Vicki...always nice to hear your voice and watch your videos.

[@SS11660]

She is eager to help.

[@peggyharris3301]

“Be safe and be careful, and don’t come back” “We’re full” 😂😅😂too funny! I love the foot to beak transfers.

[@susanmorris5520]

Hi Vicki❤️👍🏻🙏. I absolutely loved this video and I did watch it in real time and may I say that these two are absolutely awesome together.👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🥰🦅🦅❤️. They sure do work great as a team. I just love how she just gets eight in there and is ready to help her partner M15 ( who is absolutely Magnificent15).🥰👍🏻🦅. She is definitely beautiful and also definitely not afraid to get fright in there and even go out for a stick too. M15 and LE are gonna be just fine together and they have already done a great job with the nest by definitely bringing up the sides which pleases me no doubt.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🦅🦅. I’m so excited for Baby E’s to come next. I think this is their fourth time that they have been “having some fun”.😉😊🦅🦅. Love is most definitely in the air for those two. Thanks again for the video and every time I do see them, I just can’t help smile from ear to ear. This is another new chapter in M15’s Memoirs.😁👍🏻🦅❤️ Hugs and love to you and both M15 and his Lady E too. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🦅🦅🙏❌⭕️

Good morning. Have missed you. So glad you are back.

[@lisalisagraven]

I look so forward to your video clips. And since I am out west, I don’t usually get up so early to see them working on their nest. Thank you so much for giving us a closer view. I was wondering about the pond camera. I so enjoyed watching the eaglets and eagles bathe and play around the pond. Do you know if they’re going to bring that back?

[@robintrotter7109]

Beautiful...as always, Vicky. Thank you❤

[@m.theresa1385]

Nestorations underway with hopefully new babies coming soon. They sure are a beautiful pair! Mrs M15 looks like a newish adult so she prolly has lots to learn. Thankfully M15 had the very best teacher in Harriet. Looking forward to a great season ahead (without pesky owl attacks!)

Such hard workers thanks for sharing Vikki ! Have a great day!!

[@geraldineharris7280]

That one looks like it still had black on its head

[@joanbiordi4995]

She does still have some black on her head. She’s new at all of this nest building and eggs and eaglets. I hope she will be a good mom. But of course we all know how M is with his babies! He can’t do enough for them. He wants to do it all. He wants to keep the eggs warm, he wants to feed them after going out for the food, he wants to keep them warm by nesting on them. He just can’t get enough of them. She’s going to have to give him a little kick or shove to get time with her babies too. ♥️🦅🌳🦅♥️

[@EmmaDee]

I love Ms Vickie story time!! Thank you ma’am.

[@helencline5768]

Vicki thank you, for your beautiful video and I feel like everyone else hearing your voice and the joy and love you share with us makes it complete and the season has begun.. These two seem to have a great bond, they are doing so well. Harriet would be happy for M. The nest is looking good, M has been delivering many sticks. M looks so refreshed and handsome I think. Last season was rough and at the end, he looked pretty exhausted. Thank you, and I hope we have some babies..

Doesn’t she know, HE’S the MAN??? This was HIS home before her, and although he will share his heart and home, he’s the king of this castle!!

[@okiegranny4844]

not for long!

[@DrJWR1]

That sounded like Black-bellied whistling ducks flying over about 2:15.

[@Dawgluvr]

I’m going to take this as good news. F can’t replace Harriet, but her skills live on through M. M teaches F and so on. It’s clear that making more eagles is instinctual. ❤

[@Patti1]

I do wonder if she is going to be a first time Mama. I take comfort in the fact that M-15 will teach her.

[@lilbirdztube3698]

Thanks for showing us the progress on the nest and in the new relationship. I liked your "have a good life but don't come back". I went to the usual website to look for information about a name for the female and for when the cams will start up. I got a "page not found message", but I will try again later. If you have any link that works, would you kindly share it with us?

[@holmema11]

Boy, Are they busy !!

[@Poppi2006]

I guess the hurricanes from the last few years have really beaten up the nest tree. I hope they still have some protection from the GHO’s.
