Precious F23 comes home for a bath! So wonderful to see her again, and that she is looking so good! I wanted to share a good way to tell her and M15 apart. If you look at the front collar area, F23's white feathers are more jagged looking and there is a big notch towards the middle, whereas M15's neckline looks more like an upsidedown U. Hope that helps 🌞Continued prayers for our Beloved Couple for their health, safety, recovery and healing. 🌹🙏🏼➕🦅🦅➕🙏🏼🌹 Many of you have been asking me about the nest and if it is unsafe for eagles to enter it. I was reading some virologist discussions on Facebook. I didn't think to share a link at the time, but I was able to find this statement that can maybe help set some minds at ease. It in no way answers every question, but I find the information quite helpful: From Mary Beth Lerner Tung: One of the Admins at NEFL and SWFL Eaglecam Watchers All: I am a virologist and have read the USDA faculty sheet, publications and other resources about this virus and worked on a task force for my state when avian flu hit about 10 years ago. The virus dies on surfaces and feces within 5 days. There is no way to “clean” the best and any remaining virus may already be dead. Also, the parents were infected at the same time as the eaglets when procuring, then feeding the bird prey to the little ones. As the parents seem to be doing ok, after displaying some potential symptoms, they are likely partially immune and their immune systems are reacting well to this exposure. Florida has reported a higher than usual nest failure (young and sometimes parents dying) due to this virus, so officials are aware of the issue. The testing of the eaglets was likely done as part of the state surveillance. We can only hope that this nest has seen all it will see of this particular virus. Only when a sizeable portion of eagles have immunity will the virus not cause as many issues. Also a wide variety of questions were answered by CROW on their Facebook Page: Frequently Asked Questions CROW shares in the grief of the heartbreaking loss of E24 and E25 and our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted. We understand how deeply the community has connected with these young birds, and we share in that sorrow. At the same time, we remain hopeful for the safety and well-being of M15 and F23. Their resilience continues to inspire us, and we will continue to monitor and support them the best we can. We understand the public has many questions and concerns. To provide more clarity, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions we received that we hope will offer greater insight into the matter and help everyone better understand the situation. Q: There have been numerous questions regarding the nest. Here is a brief overview of what we know: A: M15 and F23 may or may not be able to have another clutch of eggs this year, for which they may or may not reuse this particular nest. While it is likely that avian influenza virus is present in the nest following the deaths of E24 and E25, it is unknown exactly how long the virus will remain active and infectious there. Avian influenza virus can survive in warm environments for a period of hours to days to weeks depending on the surface material, temperature, and humidity conditions, and may also be impacted by factors such as weather and exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Disinfection of the nest would be challenging due to the high presence of organic matter (feathers, feces, dirt, etc.) in the nest and the unknown safety of disinfectants in regards to bald eagles (including bald eaglets and eggs); however, this would only be done at the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as it is otherwise illegal to tamper with, disturb, or remove a bald eagle nest. Furthermore, the nest itself is certainly not the only source of avian influenza in the area, and it would be impossible to fully prevent the adults from encountering the virus again elsewhere. For more information visit: www.osha.gov/avian-flu/background Q: If either of the adults show symptoms and CROW gets authorization to retrieve them, is there anything that can be done to save them at that point? Any kind of treatment? A: There is no specific treatment for HPAI and any attempts would be focused on supportive care. Decisions to attempt treatment would depend on the severity of clinical signs the bird would exhibit at that time and authorization of governmental officials. Q. Could drinking from the pond they continue to drink from make the parents infected? A. Yes, drinking untreated water from lakes and ponds can lead to infection if it has been contaminated. We do not have test results showing the water has been contaminated and this type of testing would NOT be done by CROW. Waterfowl are common asymptomatic carriers of the virus. Q: Did CROW run blood tests to determine the sex of E24 and E25? A: No. The testing run on the eaglets was wholly focused on trying to find a cause for their untimely death as swiftly as possible. Running additional testing that is not focused on this, especially after a positive test for HPAI, would only expose the staff unnecessarily. Q. Is there any concern for the horses grazing in the pasture? A. Avian influenza (H5N1) infection has been reported in horses and donkeys, but the clinical significance of this is unclear as many of these animals were asymptomatic. Concerned horse owners should follow up with their equine veterinarian for further guidance. Q. Would putting fish out for M15 and F23 loaded with antibiotics in some way help them just in case they are infected? A. HPAI is a virus and cannot be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics should be reserved for bacterial infections and preferably chosen based on culture and sensitivity. Administering antibiotics to wildlife preemptively is a public health concern and is against our antibiotic stewardship policy. Q. Is there any test being done in the nest vicinity of waterfowl, other birds, owls and horses? We’ve heard horses can and might be the carrier of this flu strain. A. CROW has been testing any HPAI suspect cases that come into our hospital. We are unable to test any animals outside of our facility at this time. Q. Will we find out if there were any other issues going on such as rodenticide or lead poisoning? A. Gross necropsy results for E24 did not show any evidence of rodenticide or lead ingestion. E25's necropsy results are still pending. Unfortunately, once E24 and E25 tested positive for HPAI, the other testing laboratories would not accept any tissue or fluid samples for further toxicology analysis. Q. With this finding, should I be concerned about the health of my companion animal and myself? A. If you have any questions or concerns regarding yourself or your pets, please contact your veterinarian for your pets and your local Health Department for any personal concerns. Q. Are you sure it's Avian Influenza? Could the lab or test you used have sent a false positive? A. Our Research and Medical Director is a Board Certified recognized specialist in the field (one of less than 250 worldwide). The entire Veterinary team at CROW is extremely knowledgeable and know exactly which tests and trusted laboratories to use for the most accurate diagnosis. While it is possible the eaglets had co-morbidities, we are extremely confident that E24 and E25 were infected with the Avian Influenza virus and would not have reported the results to you when we did if we had any doubts otherwise. We realize there are still many unknowns in this particular case, but we hope this post helps clarify some of the questions surrounding the situation. CROW is committed to keeping the community informed as we navigate this challenging time together. Thank you for trusting us and for your patience and continued support.

@DMSStarXOXO Tysvm for sharing!🙏🏼🙌🏼 I think M15 and F23 look better today, than previous days. Thank GOD we now have seen both of them in the same day. Prayers answered!🙏🏼🙌🏼
Hi D MorningStar 🙏❤️. I do thank you for the information that you have shared with us all from CROW. It does help me to understand the Avian Influenza but, it still does concern me with M15 and F23 even though their immunities seem to be stronger then of an Eaglet. It is always so nice to be able to understand more of it. Also, it does still concern me even though the nest was cleaned out by the medical team before they left and then the visitors came and messed it all up and I’m sure probably also moved all of the diseased areas all over the nest too. However, with the nest being out in the open, it’s a good thing for the disease particles to die away and no longer be on the surface too. I’m not understanding why M15 and F23 have not gone into the nest cause they probably know they too could get sick. I also sure do hope that they never abandon this nest and go somewhere else cause we won’t know where they will be. Do you really think M15 would do that? Thanks agwin for this Q&A cause it was very helpful. God bless you friend and have a blessed day. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida 🤞🏼💪🏻💪🏻🦅🦅❤️🙏🌴😎😊❌⭕️
Every day with a sighting of M15 and F23 is a blessing. It gives us hope that they may not succumb to the virus. I found it very telling in the notes when it said once E24 was diagnosed that no lab would accept any fluids from E25. Thank you. DMST
Well said! We hope and we pray, and if it's God's will, we shall see our sweet pair for many days, and years to come!! We wait each day for that blessing, and thank the Lord each time our prayers are answered and accept what is to be, even as our sadness decreases with each of those blessings. YVW! 🙏🏼🌹
she's so dang adorable and beautiful...the eaglets had their parent's sweet dispositions ..I will never forget them..I am so overwhelmed with joy to see mom show up and take her a nice relaxing bath. I praise the Creator for keeping them strong and safe.
Thank you for the informative and detailed information. I always had a little bit of trouble quickly identifying the two thank you this will make it easier and thank you for posting all the information. For myself, I’m cautiously optimistic, praying for this beautiful couple and also sweet SD’s checking out the area. Much love and respect to you DMS 💕🥰🦅🦅🙏
So very good to see our beloved F23 remains safe. Praying it stays that way for all this family, and others. Thank you DMS, it was so worrying that she hadn’t been spotted, this puts our minds at ease, a little, for now.❤
@@DMStarXOXO That is such great news. I hate not knowing that they and all the other SA that were there yesterday and now aren't all safe from the nest, including the horses, but I get it. I am just going to continue praying and watching. Thanks again for all the info. It is so kind of you to try and help ease our minds. ❤
so happy to see F23 and M15 Thank you for explaining everything to us God Bless all of you and The Pritchett family and all in this group and of course M15 and F23 🙏❤️🤗❤️🦅🦅❤️🦅🦅forever in are heart E24 and E25
It is such a relief and mind/heart healing to watch F23 and M15 at the pond today! Prayers answered! GOD is great!🙏🏼🙌🏼 I think they looked better-more energetic than previous days!🙏🏼🙌🏽 Tysm for sharing @DMStarXOXO!🙏🏻
I'm so happy to see M15 and F23 in the pond bathing and taking sips. I hope the shock and confusion of the loss of the E's is subsiding somewhat. But at least they are still visiting the nest and Pond areas. I hope they continue to stay strong and healthy and maybe just maybe another clutch of eggs, since they were breeding before the E's demise. Yes i know a very long shot and wish to fill. Thank you for your continued information and answering the questions of other concerned people. 💖🦅🦅
I am not a biologist or or avian specialist, but somehow I knew that the eaglets got sick from the bird flesh they ate. I imagine their parents strong immune systems allowed them to remain healthy (for the most part). I miss the babies and I'm hurt that they passed away. Thank you very much for all the information shared.
Sooo happy to see F23 n looking good. Praying both will stay safe from this virus!M15 also have white strips across both wings. E21 N E22 both had those too. TY DMS
Oh dear I just read pinned comment - hoping for the very very best for our eagles and ALL eagles not to mention all creatures that can be affected by this virus during these trying times.
Thank you for this video and the info from CROW. M15 and F23 look to be okay which is definitely a consolation after this tragedy. Prayers for their continued health and well-being. ❤❤
This was a wonderful wealth of information for the concerned public. Our hearts are shattered and have so many fears and questions. Thank you for sharing this information. We all pray that M15 and F23 survive this horrible virus and would be a bonus if they had more eggs this season. I will gladly settle for mom and dad's good health for next year.
So great to see F23 again!!! Thanks for sharing her homecoming and the CROW information. I pray we are able to at least be more comfortable about the possibility of M & F being immunocompromised. They look great and seem to be doing all the normal things they would do. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻M & F❤
Thank you soooo much for posting this information. It does help with the healing process. It doesn’t heal the huge hole left in my heart, but it does help. Thank you!
Lots of good details in the info you pinned. Seems to be a bit of variance between what Tung vs CROW says about how long the virus may live on the nest without a host, but they both give us many details. I appreciate their work and for you sharing them. Thank you!!!
YVW! 🙏🏼🌹 I did notice some variance, but in the discussion I read, where Tung was also involved, I heard other virologists/experts talk about the sunlight, and dry hot days being able to kill the virus. I don't know for sure, but all that rain that week may have contributed to spread and saturate the nest with the virus. Those sweet innocent eaglets, makes me so sad to think about it 😔
We all prayed and look....our prayers have been answered. With all the problems we're having in the country, this good news has been so uplifting. Thank you, God for hearing our prayers. 🙏🏼Amen. 💗🤍💙
Thank you Very Much Once Again for Sharing with us All🙏🦅 Blessings to E23 🦅 and M15 🦅🙏🙏🙏... As well to All his curious offspring coming for support in their way 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️
Good to see her still oK. M15 not with her? I think they are mourning the loss of their eaglets. They do not understand what happened. They only know humans removed them.
I have never been to the south, other than to the southwest. I am certain this will be looked at as a foolish question, but I am going to ask it anyway because I care about the eagles. Is there any risk from alligators in that pond?
I don't think any questions are foolish 🌞I've been watching this nest for around 9 years and have never heard of or seen any alligators there in the pasture pond.
I’ve been thinking about the avian flu a lot since we lost the babies. I am thinking there is no way they can know how many eagles have been exposed to this virus in the wild and still survived. I would imagine the virus would be most lethal to babies and the sick and old, like with humans and their viruses. I have to believe these two are going to be ok to keep from going crazy.
Precious F23 comes home for a bath! So wonderful to see her again, and that she is looking so good! I wanted to share a good way to tell her and M15 apart. If you look at the front collar area, F23's white feathers are more jagged looking and there is a big notch towards the middle, whereas M15's neckline looks more like an upsidedown U.

Hope u are ok f23 ❤i love u
Good to see her still oK. M15 not with her? I think they are mourning the loss of their eaglets. They do not understand what happened. They only know humans removed them.
M15 was at the nest tree this morning 🙏
❤
She seems particularly apprehensive likely not trusting anything not knowing heck happened to her babies she so cared for.
I have never been to the south, other than to the southwest. I am certain this will be looked at as a foolish question, but I am going to ask it anyway because I care about the eagles. Is there any risk from alligators in that pond?
I don't think any questions are foolish 🌞I've been watching this nest for around 9 years and have never heard of or seen any alligators there in the pasture pond.
@@DMStarXOXO Thank you! Now I can relax when she is getting a bath.
QUESTION: Is it too late in the year for a second clutch?
I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that M15 & Harriet had a second clutch in March when they lost E14.
Now im not so sure about the pond water. And i wish the visitors would go away, they could be infected.

I’ve been thinking about the avian flu a lot since we lost the babies. I am thinking there is no way they can know how many eagles have been exposed to this virus in the wild and still survived. I would imagine the virus would be most lethal to babies and the sick and old, like with humans and their viruses. I have to believe these two are going to be ok to keep from going crazy.
Great points! The weak and the young are hit the hardest it seems. 😔🙏🏼🦅🦅🙏🏼
My sweaty ~ have u good survive 🙏 I love u so much😢
