➡️ 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 5-30-23. 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 a view of the nest tree. Venus (the fastest horse in the herd 🐎, runs to the feed station area. M15 arrives at the nest tree, preens, and watches the area with special attention to the N. M15 flies to the pond oak area to select a small branch for the nest. As M15 heads to the nest, the beak to feet transfer of the small branch is shown in slo-mo. This is the second branch I have seen M15 bring during my visits. After placing his branch, M15 leaves to the NW. Next up is quick view of the car wash construction site. F1 (appeared to be F1 in my scope view) perched on a rooftop just S of the nest pasture for fifty-five minutes, preening, watching the area, and rousing before leaving to the S. Video closes with a quick check on The Herd, for the horse lovers! Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
Time stamps: Provided in DVR time; actual time is on the cam clock.
00:00. Opening.
00:06. Speedy little Venus runs to the feed station area.
00:29. M15 arrives at the nest tree, slo-mo.

02:44. M15 watched the area to the N of the nest tree pasture.
04:13. More preening.
06:25. M15 heads to the pond oak area for a branch.
08:01. M15 makes his final selection.
08:11. Beak to feet transfer, slo-mo; M15 heads to the nest.
10:53. M15 leaves the nest tree.
11:30. Quick look at the car wash construction site.
11:44. F1 on a rooftop, watches the area, preens.

@cheryln581. Nest building is part of pair bonding also. We will have to watch and see what they do. We know little about this female, and it is likely her first season to breed. While eagles can get a nest up quickly if something happens to their nest, they generally will work on them over time, 4-6 weeks, or more. The nest appears to have a strong base, as it is still there after the havoc of two juvies and countless intruder skirmishes on the nest. Getting the base started takes time, so they are one step ahead already (if they use this nest tree). 🙏🏻🦅🦅💜

What I find different than any other season is that our M15 is here so early starting nestorations, guarding his territory, etc. That was always Queen's job, and M15 would show up later (correct me if wrong @Androcat). What makes me so happy about this is that he's not giving this area up. There are other eagles who've lost mates and they never came back. He's pretty much never left except a few weeks if that much? Not sure if I remember Harriet starting nestorations so soon, either, but whatever ❤ Thank you @Androcat 😊🦅

@androcat12 10 ай бұрын

Matrix. YW 🙂. M15 has always been spotted in September, and occasionally through the summer. Harriet was seen more often. Eagles have territory and nest tree fidelity, and will fight to keep their territory. On cams, I know Romeo did not return to NEFL. It is unknown what happened to him. It is also unknown what happened to his mate Juliet after she showed up injured (if that is what you were referring to). As for M15, where he spends his time on summer break, we do not know. Without cams on, we wouldn't know if he visited the nest tree area. We can only rely on what ground observers see, and there is a lot of time observers are not there, obviously. Since he is occasionally spotted, my opinion is he stays close by. As ground observers, there are a lot of areas we cannot see. M15 has brought an occasional stick to the nest, but actual nest rebuilding will start soon, and we should see more of that as their hormones change with breeding season approaching. Since M15 will have a new partner, we will have to watch and see what happens. I hope this female is "the one". We will enjoy getting to watch their bond continue to grow. 🙏🏻🦅🦅

Thank you so very much Androcat for such an awesome and beautiful video of our sweet and wonderful daddy Magnificent15 and his lady friend Maybelline and also not only was it great for us to see M and his lady friend (possibly girlfriend) but, it was so awesome and a huge thank you for showing the horses too cause I’m a huge fan since I was a little girl and I do have to say that these horses surly are being well taken care of because their manes and tails are so very shiny and also look well brushed too. I don’t know if I asked you but do any of the horses belong to the Pritchett’s? I do know that there are horses that belong to people on the outside that have a stall for their horses and I correct in saying that? But anyway, I do hope that Magnificent15 is making sure that the rim of the nest all the way around the nest then that can be more protection for the new season eggs. But also if I may ask you, didn’t the last Hurricane take Dow some of the bigger limbs too cause it looks like from your view point that the nest doesn’t seem to have that one limb where they perch that they usually perch on but then again, it is just the angle maybe that it looks like it’s lost a limb. Again, thank you and have a blessed night. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️😘🙏😊👏🏻👏🏻🥰🦅🦅👍🏻😁🥳🥳❌⭕️❌⭕️

@susanmorris5520. YW🙂. Glad you enjoyed the video. The horses in the nest tree pasture are privately owned boarders. I am unsure if, or how many horses on the farmed are owned by the Pritchett family. The W pasture also has horses in it. Some boarders do have stalls. Many farms offer both options for boarders. Hurricane Ian did break off some branches, as it did to many trees here. M15 is very experienced at nest building, so I am confident the nest will look good. 🙏🏻🦅🦅

As their hormones change, we will see more bonding activity. Banding is only done with USFWS approval. Some eagles that go through rehab after injuries may get approved for banding. There are two small scale research projects here that banding is approved for. Outside of that, eagles here are not banded. Hope that helps. 🦅🦅
