Southwest Florida Eagles, Harrison Bay Eagles, Northeast Florida Eagles, White-bellied Sea Eagles Day 89

I caught up with the Southwest Florida Eagles today. Here's some s'caps from this afternoon. This is M15, the new male resident. The name comes from M for male and 2015 is the year he became attached to this nest.

And these are M15's feet.

What a beautiful picture on this cam! I hope it stays nice and doesn't get smeared or buggy. Mom is perched on a higher branch.

Mom looks beautiful in the infrared light.

And here's some video of M15 Close-ups, Duets & Failed Mating Attempt (14:23). Basically, it's all of the above s'caps, plus more, in video format:

One of the Harrison Bay Eagles is crouched, ready to take off.

There is endless amounts of work to be done on the nest.

The Northeast Florida eagle nest tree looks pretty backlit by the sun.

There are some updates for the White-bellied Sea Eaglet SE15, who was taken to an animal hospital after falling/fluttering to the ground. So far they have found that he was a little underweight (but he's eating well) and some of his primary feathers didn't come in right. They are going to have to keep him in captivity for the lengthy process of having those feathers grow back in. Here's a video of his rescue and feeding (5:46):

They are currently working on transferring him to a zoo where he can be cared for until he can be released into the wild. Check out these pictures. So far, they haven't found anything wrong with him, but they are still waiting on the results of his blood work.

The Currawongs were pretty relentless today, dive-bombing SE16. Here's some video of Currawongs Attack SE16 (4:00):
