SWFL Eagle Cam 8 28 23. M15 Female in Nest Tree; Female Flies to the River; M15 Watches Over

Note: For ID purposes, I will be referring to the female eagle as F1 (Female, ,1). This is the same female eagle that has occupied the territory, appeared in my ground videos since 53023. If, when she is given a name or number from the Pritchett s, SWFEC, I will switch and use that. The official start of Florida Bald Eagle breeding season is October 1st. Video opens with M15 and F1 perched in the nest tree. It appears they roosted there overnight. There was not much activity today. F1 cast a pellet, vocalized with M15, preened, watched the area, then flew toward the river. M15 remained in the nest tree area, watching over the territory, and was still there when I left. Video includes a herd check for the horse lovers. There is a quick look at the construction site, where it appears they are still working on the footing, forms, and fill continues to be brought in.
