Good Morning,
You won’t be short of eaglets to watch over the holidays! They are coming quickly.
Two quick notes. There is a pip at the nest of Clive and Connie at Captiva. Thanks, R, for alerting me to this!
Here is the link to the Windows to Wildlife cam so you can watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/EOxc_lfPF1U?
R10, the second hatch for Ron and Rose, came quickly and that little one is going to be a good match for its older sibling, R9, I hope.
E26 might well be an only eaglet at the SW Florida nest of M15 and F23 this year. One healthy eaglet is fine with me.
We survived our first evening with Nellie. She is testing the waters to see what she can get by with at our house that she can’t at home. Oh, she doesn’t know me! I follow her Mummy’s directions to the letter. She loves being in the garden, but she has arthritis in her back legs, so she can’t play as long as she would like. Toby’s meals look delicious to her, but they would make her sick. Toby is a little weary of her. He was excited to have company but she has a very loud bark and that frightens him a bit. It will all settle down in a couple of days – maybe by the end of today.
I hope your week is a good one, not a stressful one. Go out for a walk and enjoy the fresh air. That is precisely what we are going to do in an hour!
Take care. See you tomorrow.
Thank you to ‘R’ for sending me the note about the pip at Captiva. I wasn’t expecting it! And thank you to the owners of the streaming cams that let us watch these amazing eagle families.
