Forum Assistant Mary F is working for Southwest Florida Eagle Cam as administrator and aware of the ground situation daily.
Some times a week you can follow the online chatroll on the official cam page
https://dickpritchettrealestate.com/sou ... eagle-cam/, also there the moderators work voluntarily for by the Pritchett family grounded Southwest Florida Eagle Cam.
The camera operators, Zoomies, work voluntarily, too. This year a couple of cams were lost in hurricane Ian and only two are working at the moment. - The nesting period had already began after the hurricane Ian and there was no intention to disturb the eagles with camera installation work.
Since Harriet disappeared M15 has done a splendid work by raising their two offspring on his own. Both eaglets have fledged, E21 was away for nearly 5 days but returned to the territory, where E22 now seems to claim rights to dominate in their territory. (As nestlings the situation was the opposite.) A spice in the eaglets' life is the existence of an owl family, GHO occupy the Nest 2 on the West pasture, built by Harriet and M15 as a reserve nest. GHO have three juvies, who visited the eagle nest yesterday night in front of the cams. Both eaglets fledged as result of owls knocking off them from the attic down in the nest tree - they fledged from the very same branch within a couple of days.
The juvies E21 and E22 are thriving, enjoying the pasture, the pond and the nest tree. The pesky shrikes seem to have calmed down and don't bother them as much as the days before. Tonight E21 was roosting on the attic and no GHO came to disturb.
There are several ground crew photographers, who were "the eyes" when the cams were out of function after the hurricane. They also witness with their developed equipment lots of playing and other situations on the pasture that the nest cameras don't see. They have their Facebook accounts anyone can follow.
