  • It is a sad day today as E14 passed away early this morning. CROW was able to come and retrieve E14's precious remains and the non-viable egg to determine the cause of death. M15 was in the nest when CROW arrived and left as the bucket was raised to the nest. M vocalized warnings and circled the nest tree before perching at a distance. As CROW and the truck were leaving, Harriet arrived to the nest tree, vocalizing at a 3-4 yr old sub adult circling the nest tree. M arrived to help Harriet secure the territory. They remained in the nest tree before Harriet dropped to the nest. Soar high and free little one. You now have your wings. You will always be part of H & M and tucked tight in our hearts. We will find strength observing Harriet, and M15 as they grieve.
    Thank you to my friend & fellow spotter for helping me get this footage recorded.
    Thank you SWFEC, hosted by Dick Pritchett Real Estate, for providing & maintaining suitable trees & environment for this Bald Eagle Family. www.SWFLEagleCam.com

    My heart is broken. Every night, before I put my phone away, I would go to the live cam to say good night and leave them with a kiss. I have never let anyone in my family see me do this, because some just did not understand my love for this family. I am soo sorry for Harriet and M. And wonder what will they do for all the month’s ahead of them , where they would have been raising their beautiful baby. So sorry for all of us that have watch this nest for years now. 😥🕊Love to all of you. And especially Vicki. Please take care.❤️

      I don't know if this gives you some comfort: E-14 was loved by many people, and of course her dear parents. Her soul pure, innocent is roaring in Heaven right now, for some reason God decided to take her away from this Earth. Maybe God needed this little angel in Heaven

      I still find this so heartbreaking. So hard to believe this eaglets not on its nest. This baby would gobble down all kinds of food. Different varieties. At night the eaglets presence is with Harriet and M15. They both took good care of their precious baby. 26-27 days of happiness and enjoyment for all of us watching it grow. I will never ever forget this day. RIP my baby. Soar in the skies with the other eaglets who are no longer with us. Luv you.

    My heart is crushed. I would like to add this info for all bird owners and potential bird owners. They did verify it was a blood feather break not a fishing hook. Broken blood feathers act like straws. They are very dangerous for birds and can be deadly very quickly. I have 6 conures, 5 cockatiels and 2 parakeets. If they break a blood feather i have to pull the remains of the shaft immediately because sometimes you do not even have time to get them to a vet. Birds are great at acting like nothing is wrong even when blood is present. Its their nature so predators dont seek a weak or injured bird. Trust your eyes and not how they acting. If you have birds and they break a blood feather there is styptic powder you can keep on hand, cornstarch or flour that will encourage clotting once the shaft is pulled. I wrap them in a towel gently to help them feel secure and it helps me control them. Any bleeding is never a good sign ever. My prayers went out for E 14 last night. We now have an angel looking out for us. Thank you wskrsnwings for this video.

    • @riebug
      @riebug 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@lindamessmer4257 if it was just the blood feather then most likely yes. Once you have a hold of the bird and find the broken feather you just take tweezers and pull it lime you would a splinter. The quick stop, flour or cornstarch is just to encourage the clotting while the hole in the skin closes. You usually watch them for about an hour after a pull. If it's not removed it just keeps the hole open to the blood supply that was feeding the feather. Hence why it is said it acts like a straw.

      Mary Cebzanov, once the active bleed was noted, Pritchetts and CROW took action. Everything that we could possibly do was done. I am posting a timeline of events and CROW's statement to help you and others see we tried to save E14.
      Here is a timeline of Events 1-14-20:
      A very small spot of blood was noticed on E14’s leg around 3pm. It couldn’t be determined if it was an injury or from a food source.E14 remained sleeping at the rails until 5:20pm when fresh blood was noticed on the eaglet. At that time the Pritchetts contacted the proper authorities and CROW was notified of the situation. There are legal issues involved in removing an eaglet from the wild. Sunset at the nest was 5:56pm.
      The following is a statement from CROW: "As soon as CROW staff became aware of the situation, efforts to coordinate a rescue began. This process includes obtaining permission from federal and state wildlife officials prior to intervening in an active nest. Entering an active nest at night poses a safety risk to both the adult eagles who could become agitated by human presence and seriously injure themselves during the rescue process, as well as the safety risk to the personnel attempting the rescue. Realistically, a rescue attempt was not possible until this morning at which time we were notified the eaglet had passed away overnight." CROW then came and removed E14 and the unhatched egg from the nest and took both to their facility for initial examination.

      Mary.. I was following nest in California last yr, with 2 eaglets. Bad cold weather as nest up in Mountain area. Long story short, one of the Eaglets died on Memorial Day ,2019. I was so upset, was overcome with how much the death effected me. Could not watch any of the 3 eaglet nest sites I watch for weeks after that. But .... Remember: This is hard now. But as you continue on to watch other birds weeks from now, you WILL start to find joy again. I have watched a camera set up on the upper Mississippi fly way. Saw hundreds of eagles that live there. To see all the birds that are surviving gladdened my heart after seeing first eaglet I ever witnessed dying on live camera. Things will be better. My heart goes out to you, as I went thru it. 🙂. Take care, Mary.

This wonderful opportunity of glimpsing into wild life, is just that, nature in it’s beauty - when a live chat with children who watched along with us, the hatching of sweet precocious E14. And we witness the danger of wild life - seeing the little ones final hours. If anything, let this be a lesson to all of us the fragility of life. None of us could deny E14’s zest for life in the little time it had.
    Soar greatly E14!

I know all of us eagle lovers are as well. Speaking for myself I have cried over this so much today. I will never forget this little precious one. I know she is soaring high above the clouds with all eagles that have passed. My sincerest sympathy to you, H&M & the Pritchetts. Thank you nd the Pritchetts forever for giving us the opportunity to love this family which we surely will continue to do so! Much love ❤️😭🦅💔👼😘

    Thank you @riebug. Looking at the new larger feathers coming in, I did think of a broken blood feather (7 parrots). Would Harriet have know about a blood feather. She was trying to help E14. She knew something was wrong early on and kept inspecting it. I feel so badly for all who loved this firecracker known as E14 including Harriet and M15.
    Vicky, your heart must be broken as well. All the hours that you have put in filming and narrating this wonderful eagle family, are appreciated by thousands of us who looked forward to your daily videos. Thank you ever so much. 🦅🦅❤

      NikkiPog4444, Harriet may have sensed something as we saw her allopreening E14 and she very well could have been trying to pull the feather out but E14 kept moving away from her.

    I couldn't believe how much this affected me. When I saw Harriet's eyes that morning I saw pain and loss and I broke down. I could handle the 2nd egg not hatching, but the empty nest was too much. I won't stop watching these beautiful birds, this incident made me feel that much closer to them. All God's creatures are made with love and we see that reflected in all animals. RIP E14.

    Just read preliminary veterinary report posted on NE BE website saying a broken blood feather
    on its left side, left side was heavily covered in blood. No other trauma was found that would have caused death. Now looking into the toxicology end of things.

      @wskrsnwings  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Andrea Sommer, I am glad you read what they wrote. But to get the complete facts, it is always good to go to our live cam website and the chat and also CROW's statements as they were the ones who retrieved the eaglet and egg and did the examination.

    Rest In Peace dear E14. He seemed exceptionally smart in his short time with us. I loved when E14 practiced “incubating” Egg 2. I imagined that E14 might have been female with mother instinct! 😊💕. My partner in watching, my kitty15yr old Luigi, had to take his journey 2 months ago. I am sure he is greeting E14 with friendship 🦅🐈💕

    Thank you for this video, Vicki. I'm so glad this was not my first season watching because E14's passing was a lot and I might not keep watching. But, I'm hooked on this family. My very first time watching was the day E9 hatched. I didn't know about this family until a friend of mine shared one of your videos on Facebook. I was hooked right away. I never miss your posts and I am so appreciative of all that you do.

    Dear Miss Vickie. I cried the entire time I watched this. Cried and cried. The silence spoke volumes. As hard as it is to watch, it helps by answering many questions that folks like I had. After hearing of E14's death, my next thought was of you Miss Vickie and I prayed you were ok. My third thought was of all the classroom children and children viewing from home. Hugs to you Miss Vickie

    Watching this video, IMO I noticed how sad H&M are. They are noticeably mourning! Thousands of people all over the world loved H&M and mourn with them and also with all of us. I really thought this was going to be another E9 year. But sadly it wasn’t meant to be. H&M are visibly upset and mourning. May this sweet baby fly high, free and happy. We love you and will never forget you little sweet one. 😢💔

My heart hurts, but I am thankful to the Pritchett Family for maintaining this site, to our wonderful cam ops and mods, and especially to you for being able to be a part of the eagles' lives. Our hopes and dreams remain alive for a better year next season. Broken hearts do mend, but it takes time.
