Vickie. He is so beautiful and what a show off. He loves sitting on the very top of those homely tree and he calls out "look at me, I'm E9, the baby you have watched and loved".❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful, majestic, American Bald Eagle.

[@JudyEidson]

Vicki, other than my human babies and grand babies, he is the cutest darn baby I've ever seen! I love his little side hop straddle slide to another branch. He's adorable!!!! AND, soo proud of himself! 🤗😄🙄😂😂😂😂 I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Judy Eidson 😀😉👍👍

[@debbie995]

Your videos of E9's adventures every day bring me so much joy! So much so that when you said "I'm going home now", I said "nooooo" out loud! lol

[@lori5455]

Pushing all his skills to the max, constantly testing himself and his abilities. I cant believe how fast he has grown from the helpless eaglet that he was...three months ago!

[@Missmarti77]

Its been fun watching E9 learn and grow. Thank you for sharing you amazing videos. 🐰🐇🐣🐤🐥

[@shirleyshipman-johnson4592]

Vicki is it just me thinking that E9 is one special little eagle. He just seems to be more eager to learn ,he's so ambitious , he really does love and listens to his mommy. I've watched other eagle families on KZbin but E9 just seems more spirited. He/she is really blessed to have Harriet and M for parents. They are teaching this sweet baby to grow up to be a proud Eagle. I loved it when he brought the stick to the nest. When he placed it in the nest when he stepped back and looked at it he looked really proud. Thank you for sharing this today from South Mississippi

[@wskrsnwings]

Shirley Johnson, it could be that now we are able to see a juvenile grow by the panning and following from the wonderful cam operators. And my ground videos. I am so happy I can show everyone what I see!!

[@wskrsnwings]

Shirley Johnson, you are welcome.

[@crickkett7510]

I've watched a couple other nests as well, and I do see a real difference (for the good and for the better) between this eagle family and the others.

[@susiewesley3063]

Thanks again Vicki for your amazing video's of E9's joyous mornings. I absolutely LOVE the LOVE you show through your work. We are so very lucky and blessed to have the pleasure to get a glimpse into their lives (thanks to your dedication and love for this precious family). As always, look forward to these 30 (give or take) minutes you share with us all...

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

[@Spooky_Dook]

🌸 Amazing & Incredible as always- YOU, E9, HARRiETT & M HAVE MY 💚 4EVER!!!!! hope U knw that🌸

[@jennyswords5645]

E9 just loves to branch hop....out day he's going to peck at the branch he's on 'til it breaks, lol....love her/his progress!...thanks again for your dedication so that I can see the highlights of this family's day!

[@wskrsnwings]

Jenny Swords, you are welcome.

[@breadandcircus1]

[@johannabhattarai3789]

Looked like E9 was dancing there on the snag tree at the beginning of the vid, how sweet E9 is, look forward to these vids everyday, thank you so much , love and enjoy ❤️

[@chrisbrett9509]

I really enjoy watching E9 and his family interract...thank you so much for your wonderful videos!

[@sandywilliams9419]

Vicki, again, I want to thank you so very much for giving us these videos and photos each day. Each of these insights into E9's adventures of growing and learning are so precious to me and others, I am sure. I believe more than anything watching what you provide for us everyday helps me to understand to Trust the Eagles.

[@JHejza1]

I have to tell you wkrsnwings, I totally enjoy your edited videos; your comments and humor make me laugh while viewing...probably because we are thinking the same things. Like, while Mom was vocalizing with E9 at yonder pond...."what the heck happened to your feet"??? e9 is a real kick! Sometimes I think, if human, he'd be an engineer as he always wants to take things apart! Obsessed with textures! Ha. I don't think there is a tree or fence he hasn't at least tried! And the totally curious/sideways look....it's precious! He's still a kid, loving to play, even if it's by himself. I keep expecting when he misses his footing while "trying" to land on a branch he'll turn back to see if anybody saw that goof! LolBeing one who also does a lot of editing video, I really appreciate all that you do! To hand or tripod filming, then to have to go download and start the editing process, then upload to the site and/or you tube....well, it takes a lot of your time and efforts. And I for one, look forward to viewing every day. Thank you, and also for the rest of the team out there! These are special birds. My brother is a falconer and breeder of rare falcons, very enjoyable. But the eaglets, they are just fascinating!! Thanks from western NY.I wonder if an eaglet has ever really delayed his departure from "home"? I know we can only hope...but he's got it made there with the greatest parents, fish every day, sometimes up to 5! Why wood a teenager flee? Lol. There are so many young human adults that stay at home these days. Lol. Again, thank you!

[@wskrsnwings]

Judy Hejza, you are welcome. Thank you for your thoughts and kind words.

[@katheryneflegel47]

Thank you for the wonderful videos with narratives. I love that eagle.

[@wskrsnwings]

Katheryne Flegel, you are welcome.

[@alicephrontistery]

Thank you!

[@frederickbowman3606]

Thanks so much for the videos of E9 and his family. i look at them each day. TN.

[@wskrsnwings]

Frederick Bowman, you are welcome.

[@awuma]

21:30 the kites give a beautiful display of how to stay in a thermal and milk it.

[@woodyaan]

10:43- ha, ha.ha- you said 'look at your feet!' and he did. He can hear you and understand every word you say. WOW!

[@pascale_eagles]

Great job with the stick !! at 9:12 he kind of looks at you saying : hey wskrsnwings, did you see that, did you see what I've done ? yes, I shouldn't use anthropomorphism :D

[@pascale_eagles]

Yeah you're right ! :D

[@wskrsnwings]

Pascalou Ragon, I applaud E9 but he/she does it for them self. And that makes me amazed and happy that they are instinctively doing this on their own. Amazing to witness this. So glad we all can see this together.

[@judyjudy1148]

I think so....later in the day, I saw him moving sticks around before is usual afternoon lie down. These video's are so precious. Thank you so much!

[@pascale_eagles]

Vicki I love when you laughed because of E9's muddy feet, and when he hid the "cleaner" one :D ; it made me laugh too. I think we should show your videos and the SWFLEC to all people who feel depressed or lonely, this little one is the best prozac I've ever seen :D

[@wskrsnwings]

Pascalou Ragon, so true that E9 does this for himself and that this is amazing to witness.

[@DWalkerAVON]

Aaawe... he made his bed... (nest)

[@lindak7620]

Hi Vicky! Great video as in love with this family.They are just so special in their love for their son(?) just is so beautiful. Your video and commentary makes it so special to watch. What was those birds that looked bigger and dark then our eagles? I also wondered is staying with his parents this long unusual? I cannot imagine him gone from his parents but he has his life to live. Thank you so much for making my day so happy.Laters

[@wskrsnwings]

Linda k, the birds flying above at yonder pond were Swallow tailed kites. Actually a black and white bird and very pretty.

[@lindak7620]

Thanks Vick!We do not have those here in Colorado lol. I need to move to Florida:) Your doing a fantastic job, thank heavens we have you and the others to giving us a real picture of the family. Take Care

[@ELBlDu]

You are so dedicated going out every day. Was that YOU on the news I saw? thanks for all your great work. Swallow tail what? Those were neat looking (don't have those here that I've seen)

[@wskrsnwings]

E.L. Bl/Du, thank you for the kind words. Yes, I was interviewed the day of E9's fledge. Here is information on the Swallow-tailed Kite: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Swallow-tailed_Kite/id

[@ELBlDu]

I thought so, I recognised your voice....lol Now I have a face too! (Us photographers prefer to be behind the lenses,lol) Thanks for the link, very cool looking tails. At first I thought that was E9 and he was doing something funny with his tail until you said what it was....You are a great teacher. Glad you got some recognition. Good job.

[@wskrsnwings]

E.L. Bl/Du, thank you.

[@08dsfree]

Remember dad or mom had dirty feet one morning a week or so back.👣👣

[@intheredcold9216]

Why aren't the parents teaching E9 how to hunt?

[@wskrsnwings]

Aunty Ro Knows, I am sure E9 is watching them hunt. Wish we could see them doing that but a lot of places they go are not known to us.

[@speedgirl1493]

how on earth do you tell their voices apart???!!!

[@wskrsnwings]

Cathie Antle, I have heard Harriet's vocals for 4 1/2 years so it is easier for me to tell the voices apart. But I still get it wrong every now and then.

[@speedgirl1493]

You are a gift to a novice like myself!! I fell in live with this family thru your videos!! I think E9 is the cutest ever!!! There is one video where he cocks his head at the funniest angles just checking stuff out!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@wskrsnwings]

Cathie Antle, thank you for watching this amazing family.

[@wskrsnwings]

Harriet has vocals that are more pronounced (loud) than M15's ... usually. But I have followed Harriet since 2012 and I am used to hearing her vocals. Hope that helps.

[@SHANEBENNETTckchoker]

HI all E9 Fans I notice E9 has very depression,, Unhappy himself, same as black sheep I think! Anyone or video photographers think so?

[@debiboyd1269]

Shane Bennett E9 is a very happy & smart young eagle!! He/She is not at all depressed looking!! All are very proud & pleased with E9 & all his/her accomplishments!! Even Harriet & M15 are proud of their young eagle!! ❤😀❤

[@wskrsnwings]

Shane Bennett, thank you for your thoughts. I see a new fledgling/juvenile living and learning. And having a grand time doing it.
