This video was taken at 7:24 am during the exchange between Harriet and M. I am not sure if this is our first look at E9. It may or may not have been Harriet’s first look but I am pretty sure it was M15’s first site of his new chick. I am so very happy for them.

PREVIOUS Information: Florida has one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states, with an estimated 1,500 nesting pairs. Concentrations of nesting territories are clustered around several significant lake, river, and coastal systems throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has monitored the population of nesting bald eagles in Florida for over 40 years.
In the Ft Myers area, Harriet and M15 patiently perform their task at hand as the world around them bustles with activity. Mom and Dad share many hours incubating their precious eggs without hurry or worry. It is anticipated the eaglets will hatch today.You can watch the nest LIVE HERE.

From Facebook: Slow and steady seems to be the way on their journey. They greet each day with purpose and their inherent abilities and skills serve them well in all their responsibilities. They remain aware and watchful to what goes on around them as they protect and defend their territory at this critical time. Their strength lies in their bond to each other, their nest and future offspring. Mom and Dad’s dedication is never ending.
Harriet and M15 will soon realize the success of all their efforts to continue the cycle of Eagle life. Change will come again in the pasture and Mom and Dad will meet any challenges with their calm resolve. All wait with much anticipation for hatching and all hope is for the emergence of energetic eaglets. Nest Notes by dadsjazz
