We have lift off at Southwest Florida. E19 was welcomed into the world at 12:43:04. It is Day 37. Harriet was on the nest tree and M15 was doing some soft chirping to tell her the good news.
M15 was on the nest during the entire hatch. Harriet will see her eaglet for the first time at 14:46.
A very proud Dad!
Oh, just look. The sun will dry the grey down soon.
Now we wait for E20!
At one time there were nearly 6500 persons watching and waiting for a glimpse of the little one.
Harriet is so beautiful and E19 is sooooooo tiny.
So cute.
E19 held its head up for a moment. You can clearly see the egg tooth that helped E19 out of its shell.
So happy this little eaglet has hatched and is fine! That is all that matters.
Congratulations to Harriet, M15, the Pritchett Family and all the lovers of Southwest Florida Eagles!
Thank you to SWFlorida Bald Eagle cam and the Pritchett family where I took my screen captures.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
