- ➡️ Ground video from Monday, 4-15-24.
Video opens with M15 arriving at the nest tree with a delivery. E23 does not show up, and a Loggerhead Shrike pesters M15. The tiny Shrikes have fledglings they are feeding, and are simply protecting their family by pestering, just as the mockingbirds do. M15 takes the UFO/food and flies to Yonder Pond (YP) with it. F23 flies to Yonder Pond from the E, landing in the S pine, so I headed over. M15 and F23 were close to the water when I arrived, and F23 was in the S pine. M15 left view, and E23 stayed by the water, going in a couple of times, and took a short bath. E23 flew to the S pine, then to another pine to perch. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part. (Video recorded mostly into the bright morning sun at YP, always difficult recording there in the morning.)

Isn't M15 simply formidable? Scanning the area for E23, his eyes taking in every movement, every shape , everything in every direction . . . joining E23 at the pond . . . so good that all three were in the same area. Thank you for such a great ( and I am sure uncomfortable filming against the sun) video-it is a gift to us all.
You’re absolutely unbelievably devoted Androcat. How fortunate we are! You have made so many of us extremely happy. F23,M15, and E23 all together doing what eagles do. Should have known E23 was being cared for by the best Dad in eagledom. TYSVM Androcat 💜🦅🙏🏼💜
So agree.
Thank you very much Androcat! You are our eyes 👀 on the ground.The camera can't catch everything. We didn't see E23 yesterday and thought E23 flew away on the new journey that awaits! Blessings!🙏🥰💕🦅
E23, takes after her daddy! She is a beaut!!!
Ty, I so missed E23 yesterday! Only saw M. Just one day, but getting prepared for E23's leaving 😢. She's HUGE!! All that food! Standing tall, so pretty, such a tribute to mom and dad. A bit of the old Dracula Walk! Nice to know she's hanging/maybe roosting over there, a good intermediate spot. Is she trying to fish there, haven't seen her swoop at home since the ducks left. At least YP looks more free of the intense shrikes and mockingbirds this year. M was even snapping at them. I love watching M look for his family, his precious E and his lady love. What a season! 🤞
❤️🦅🦅🦅
@LemonLadyRecords. YW 🙂. I did not see E23 attempt to fish in the twenty minutes or so I was there watching. There are plenty of pestering birds over there lol. M15 is the best! I have seen him take food to find his E’s and Harriet many times over the years. 💕
I luv seeing them walk around, so cute, she loves the water too
Hello, i hope for more beautyful Videos of you , specially from swfl Eagles. Love them in this beautyful area. I had been in Florida in the year 1990 in Ford Lauderdale for 16 days. Also in Key West. Greetings from Germany Ulrike 😘😘😘
❤❤❤
Just like a child: in, out, in, out. Cant stay put 😅❤
Cute video. Guess this is the family's vacay spot! Seems like E23 is comfortable here...glad M15 visited and with food, altho I did not see E23 eat anything. Just happy this family is happy and safe!
@loridonohue313. I waited 10-15 minutes before going over, as often E’s will get the food and fly back to the nest with it. I have missed that too many times by going over lol. E23 likely ate it before I got there; it wasn’t a large food item. They hang out at different spots; some we cannot see them at. Lots of ponds here, plus the river. 💜
Thank you so much for sharing this video of them. With the other cam not working our view of them is limited. So thanks again! Love our eagle family! 💙🦅❤️🦅🐣❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Androcat, for another great video, won’t be long now, so nice to make the most of our beloved E, while we still can❤
He/she is so much bigger than M15
@janicebelleisle4427. E23 was sitting on a higher piece of ground, making him/her look even bigger. I do think E23 is a little bigger; juvenile feathers are longer/a little more broad, and that adds to the size appearance.
Amo seus vídeos.obrigada por nós mostra coisas que não vimos 🙏🏻🙌🏻
@marlilea6122. Thank you for watching! 💜
M15 doesn't want E23 to leave❤❤❤
Thank you so much Androcat for your great videos that keep us in touch with the SWFL (and other) families until they disperse.
I'm really glad to see E23. I missed the baby yesterday . I enjoy this family. Thanks for your video!❤
Hi Sergei! It was nice to see your comment! I was looking for E23 on the camera and didn't see E23 the other day. Have a blessed day! 🙏🥰💕🦅
@@De.D1 Hi De.D1!🖐
Me too. E23 is getting daring but she's very nice and beautiful.
Have a blessed day.
God bless you!❤️🥰
Hello Androcat, thanks you for this wonderful video. I am looking here from Germany. This Eagle Videos of the swfl Nest makes me Happy every day❤️🦅🦅🐣 since a few years. I Love this birds so much.😍😘
@ulrikefeller2611. YW 🙂. This is my 💜 nest, and they make me happy every day also! Thank you for watching from Germany! 🦅🦅
9:57 It's like a big duck😂
Androcat I can't Thankyou enough my friend ❤🥰🌹I'm so relieved to know E23 is well and Exploring the Yonder pond area... I heard so much about the Yonder Pond but never seen it and after not seeing E23 yesterday I was thinking all sorts .. We love you and greatly appreciate you Dear friend Androcat ❤... Again Mighty M!!! Bringing prey to E23 at the Yonder pond... What an Amazing Eagle he is ..... 💙🦅❤.. Beautiful video Tysvm I wish you and all Friends a Wonderful Wednesday take care 🥰💫💞🤗🌺🙏🦅💜
Serap Mehmet. YW 🙂. Yonder Pond was so beautiful before that area was developed. It really was difficult to watch. It still works as a good fishing hole for urban eagles. The neighborhood is a quiet one, and there are trees for the eagles to perch in. M15 has always taken prey to find his E’s, and we saw him do it when he had food gifts for Harriet. If she didn’t fly in, he would take it and find her. He is the best! 💙
@@androcat12 Words cannot express How So SPECIAL M15 is❤❤... I haven't witnessed such an Affectionate loving Eagle as Mighty M is... Such A Beautiful Soul.. We love him to bits just like Amazing Beloved Harriet ❤🌹🦅😇... All Eagles mean the World to Me/ Us .. SWFL nest was my first Love ❤ my first witnessing and understanding of these Beautiful Amazing Raptors... I carry them in my Heart where ever I go ..ALWAYS ...Androcat Tysvm my friend.. I absolutely understand the Development and what it does to us mentally and importantly to our environment.. Love and hugs to you take care 🥰💜🤗💙🙏🌺🌸💞
The doting dad M15 giving E23 all the opportunity in the world to claim. Wonder who got the fish. E23 enjoying different pond. Thank you for sharing views.
Terri Stauffer. I think M15 had some time of RK when he came to the nest. I waiting 10 minutes or so before going over to YP. Sometimes they fly right back, so I waited a few. I hope E23 got it and downed it! M15 was taking it over there for E23. We have watched him do this many times over the years. 💕
Clarity of video is great
I can't add anything to what's already been said except Thank You for showing us the everyday life of our Eagle Family up close and personal!
Thank you so much for this beautiful video Androcat 🤗🥰 That was so funny the way E23 ran down the hill 🤣🤣 I love how the eagles walk at the best of times, but E23 running with wings open was unbelievably cute 😍😅 We appreciate very much your taking the time to video our beautiful family at the YP💞🌹 It's getting close so we are all making the most of seeing this amazing eagle family, we just love them so much 💓💕🦅🦅🦅💖
@tigress5263. YW 🙂. They crack me up when they walk, and especially run, around on the ground. It is getting closer to average dispersal time, but we never really know what they will do. Four here took quite some time to leave, and one did not, until after the start of the following season. We will watch and see. 😁
E23 is Magnificent!❤
This is so awesome. So happy you saw and taped this as we couldn't see them on the cams. Es run after dad downhill to the pond was hysterical 😂
The little bird at the nest is hysterical!
@Handmade_by_Staci. The Loggerhead Shrikes have fledglings here they are feeding, so they are very protective. 💜
Thank you, dear Androcat❤🦅🦅🦅🎶 Beautiful video💗😍 Our Princess E23 is so very huge!!!😍🦅🎵 Aww, the Yonder Pond is always a comfy place for our beloved Eagles🌿🌊🏞🦅🦅🦅 Thankfully❤🙏 our fluffy Princess E23 is still at home😍🦅🌄 Be blessed, our precious Daddy&Mom and adorable E23❤💞🦅🦅🦅🌄 Keep thriving🎵❤🦅🦅🦅 Many blessings to everyone❤❤❤ Take care❤💞☘🍀🌷
@pesyira. YW 🙂. E23 was a bit higher up so it is a little deceiving on the size difference. I think the eagles enjoy YP; it is relatively quiet there for an urban spot, and they have nice trees to perch in. It’s a bigger pond than the pasture, so it should have better fishing opportunity also. 💜🦅🦅💜
Não e fácil pegamos amor depois não ver mais ..ou ver e não saber se realmente e E23 simplesmente maravilhosa como pai..❤❤❤🦅🦅🦅
Thanks, Androcat, for showing us some of the action at Yonder Pond!
@LaurieFloodTeacher. YW 🙂. Thank you for watching my ground video!
Im sorry i did not know there was a yonder pond? Tbis is new to me...wow how nice they have two ponds no wonder we dont see them they have alot of other nice places to go😅😂❤ that's great🎉 wish i could afford to get outa Pittsburgh PA for a while i spend my life in and out of hospitals here. How beautiful and big E23 is. Thenk YOU for sharing video for us to enjoy seeing them at yonder pond🎉❤
@bootsiekeegan4401. YW 🙂. There are lots of ponds very close for the eagles to hang out around and fish at, plus canals and the river. Hope you can get a break and get out of town. 🙏🏻💙
@@androcat12 how beautiful for eagles had to go to hospital again and again april 29 had 2 breast cancer surgeries and other health issues in pain however one day I'll get to florida maybe get a chance to see M15 in action flying thank you for videos the eagles are so patient caring protective and you cant help loving them
All videos help us when we're wondering is E23 ok did E23 leave for good etc all your various videos are amazing to see help us learn its very lovely there looks like alot of trees and ponds it makes me wonder where other than here fort meyers florida are these eaglets going? Do they all make it to adults? We're only seeing a small portion of their lives❤ hope they grow up to be amazing like M15 dad i sure miss Harriet with M15 but glad he found a mate.
Beautiful video Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you for the wonderful video, Androcat!
Great footage and vid. Thank you.
Thanks for this view from Yonder Pond Androcat. Really enjoyed! For some reason I can't like your videos tonight. Will try again tomorrow.
I don’t know if it was positioning, but E23 sure did look larger then M15 today!
@geterdonegranny1639. I think E23 is a little bigger than M15, and the juvenile feathers contribute to that appearance also. As for this video, E23 was sitting on a higher spot, M15 was just a little further back, and E23 had a different body position than M15. I think that did add to E23 looking even bigger.
Great video, thank you androcat 🦅
This video deserves a million likes- so loved it. Reminded me of E9 years ago who wouldn't go into Yonder Pond at all and then I thought of the alligator! I had no doubt E23 would finally take the plunge. Loved E23 going to south pine next to adult. Was that F23 or M15? Thanks Androcat- fantabulous vid! ❤ 🦅
@susanmccarty5013. YW 🙂. I am not sure if that was M or F23. Looks like M’s build to me. I was hemmed in by a tiny view spot through the trees, so I couldn’t pan when they moved or flew. F23 flew once and flushed a sub that was over there too, but I couldn’t track her. The camera just focuses on the trees in front of me. M flew from the water’s edge and I couldn’t see where he went. 💜
I think it’s hilarious how the birds start dive bombing when they know it’s safe. I don’t notice that when the parents are egg sitting or the eaglets are young and vulnerable. They know they might be dinner if the eagle is determined to get them.
@jaeshasway. They are relentless 😬. The mockingbirds are nesting, and they usually have back to back clutches, so pestering will last a couple of months, just during that nesting season. The shrikes are feeding fledglings. I will try to remember to include a ground video of that from the other day. The adults impale their prey on a fence/branch, etc., and their chicks pull pieces off. The small pestering birds are simply defending their territory during their own nesting season. 🙂
@@androcat12 Oh wow! I would love to see that. Thanks for the additional information and for sharing the video!
@@jaeshasway. YW 🙂. I will try to add it to a video tonight, but it will be a late video. Don’t get home until late.
Love hearing other birds..even an owl?
@annwilliams1073. Mourning doves. There was a female owl that hooted a few times but I couldn’t see her. I didn’t hear it in my video edit. If you have a time stamp, I will be happy to listen again.
@@androcat12 I trust you. Thanks
Love to see them trotting around on the ground. Do these eagles spend more time on the ground near water than most eagles? Friends of BBV once mentioned that eagles don’t spend time on the ground because of predators. But maybe that’s just in Big Bear Valley.
@TheEmaile. I think eagles do spend time on the ground around water. I see it all the time here locally (we have a lot of ponds). The rangers at the old Kenai eagle cam in Alaska told me their river banks are full of eagles, especially young ones, foraging on salmon remains. A friend who has visited Juneau, AK, many times observes the same. Redding eagle cam has plenty of ground footage of their juvies on the ground, as well as Centerport eagle cam. If you do not already watch it, I recommend the Mississippi River Flyway Cam to watch eagle behavior. There are also many videos to watch from that cam. 🙂
@@androcat12 ah, thank you for all those recs! Look forward to checking them out.
As soon as I asked this, I remembered pics that I had seen of all the eagles feeding on salmon by the rivers in Alaska, but did also wonder if maybe that was unique to Alaska. Thank you for clearing that up! Also glad to hear that the eagles near you have lots of ponds to hang out at!
That was cute . im kind of new here . Do you get to go on the property and do your own filming apart from the eagle cam ? Thanks for the footage. We couldnt see any of this with the pond cam down. So happy to see my little E23 come back home today. I was so upset and worried .
@amandacunningham4861. YW 🙂. The church next door to the farm allows visitors to watch from the side church yard. Please try not to be upset and worried. We are getting closer to dispersal time; they leave when they are ready, and some do stay longer. E23 spends time out of cam view, exploring, hopefully foraging/trying to catch a fish. What we hope for all season is for our E's to make it to fledge and eventual dispersal. That's a perfect ending to a season. 🩷
@@androcat12 thank you ☺
