White Bellied Sea Eagles ~ SE34 Fledges! 🎉 Currawongs Swooping Prompt SE34 To Fly! 10.27.24

[@ladyhawk]

Update Oct 27th from Ranger Judy: "I shall go there tomorrow morning early - we have other watchers about on the river today though. Jen reported one flying off over the residential area and away - parents overhead". Congratulations SE34 - it was a strong fledge. It looked like SE34 flew in the direction of the forest like SE33 did. Update From Eaglecam Oct 26th " Late in the afternoon, our team spotted SE33 across the river, in the mangroves - heard calling and being swooped. Then SE33 was seen flying strongly off away from the river. However, it returned to the mangroves behind river roost and was heard calling. This is the first time we have observed this fledging behaviour. The parents were seen nearby earlier, one with an eel." There is a video of SE33 flying yesterday over the river! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ29io1qj91lZ80 I wish both SE33 & SE34 well and hope that they will find Lady & Dad soon and get a feeding!

@@oliverl4150 Hello Oliver thank you and well said! We did have a wonderful season - what a joy to watch both eaglets grow up and now fledge successfully! We could not have asked for anything more from the great job that Lady & Dad did. Too bad they don't return to the nest - leaving is so final but hopefully we will get some ground reports/videos and photos of the family in the upcoming days and weeks!! ♥ Take care!

@@ladyhawk Wow, didn't realize the white bellied sea eaglets didn't return to the nest like some other eaglets do. Was hoping to see them again.

Hello Max and thank you for the nice comment! It was a successful season and well done Lady & Dad on raising two eaglets to fledge! Now it is up to the fledglings to spot their parents and chase after them for food until they can learn to hunt and fish on their own! Take care ♥

[@kathleenclark1866]

They are besutiful. ❤

[@cindythomas5895]

They are so beautiful … Thank you Lady Hawk, I have enjoyed this so much. I love the way this family sang together and the different sounds you hear in Australia 🇦🇺 !!! Will miss them all four ❤

[@ladyhawk]

Hi Cindy you are very welcome!! I think the goodbye quartet that the entire family sang before SE33 fledges was so touching!! ♫ A perfect goodbye song for the eaglets!!!

[@gentrykoda]

At one point it almost seemed like they were encouraging SE34 to fly--to take that leap!

[@YaelSharon3410]

I read that once they fledge they don't come back to the nest. So I guess the season is over. The were beautiful to watch. We watched since they hatched.

[@ladyhawk]

Hello Yael yes unfortunately for us that is true - they seldom return to the nest after fledging! It was a remarkable season! Well done Lady and Dad!!

[@dewbow134]

Aw, empty nest. They grew up so fast. Feels like they just hatched a little while ago. ❤

[@LisaBelson25]

Thank you Lady Hawk! So grateful to see this precious one finally join the rest of the family. God bless this beautiful family of sea eagles ❤

[@ladyhawk]

Congratulations SE34!! 🎉

Счастливого пути! Я смотрела их с самого рождения с начала августа. Прекрасная семья. Жалко,а что мы не увидим их дальше?

[@schen5425]

🦜LH? what was the observed first-time behavior? Feeling kind of sad for 34, don't think it was ready to fledge, yet, as you mentioned if it wasnt for that other beautiful bird 🤔 thank you for the post.

[@ladyhawk]

Hi Schen I think they were referring to SE33 flying back into the forest (mangroves) after flying out over the river. Previous fledges have flown into this area but once they get out of it they tend to follow the parents at the river roost and don't return to the mangroves. SE34 was probably hungry and had not eaten in a couple of days so that probably prompted the fledge too. But as we have seen in previous seasons, the currawongs are relentless and do cause the eaglets to fledge prematurely. But SE34 was ready to fly and so was SE33 so I think they both will be ok! Just need to get acquainted with the area and find Lady and Dad!

[@schen5425]

@ladyhawk Got it, thanks.
