What a day! It is beautiful weather on the Canadian Prairies, unseasonably warm while it is also unseasonably hot in Big Bear Valley and everyone is wondering if Jackie and Shadow will delay eggs for a bit. The big news is coming to us from Fort Myers Florida, where M15 and his second mate, F23, now have their first egg kicking off the 2025 Bald Eagle season in Southwest Florida. Congratulations to the Pritchett Family and all who love these eagles.
There it is!
Thank you to the Pritchett Family for their streaming cam allowing us to celebrate this wonderful moment with these two loved eagles.
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.

Thanks Mary Ann! …the weather in FL is colder than it is in Maine! The two of them should be thriving 🙏🤞🩷
My goodness. Things with weather are certainly upside down. It will be +12 C here on Friday. It will be nice to see some eaglets in that nest.
