SW Florida Eagle--Part II


On January 15, I posted a blog that the SW Florida eagle streaming camera showed the three-week-old baby eagle had died.  I’ve been watching this nest since I discovered it two years ago and watched it during the recovery from my accident.  I loved watching the eaglets develop and finally fledge.  I watched them again last year and enjoyed them just as much.

After the baby died this year, I, and most others, thought the season was over.  Not so.  Harriett and M-15 (her mate) kept bonding (mating), and she laid two more eggs a month ago.  E-15 is now three days old and the second egg, E-16, hatched yesterday.  I am so excited.

I understand how difficult it for the young to survive in the wild, but I hope E-15 and E-16 grow to be healthy adults.
