- A blue jay is persistent in pestering E9. It may have a nest close by and is reacting normally, a means of protecting the nest and territory. As I watched, I thought about how even the interaction between these two is preparing E9 for survival in the soon-to-be bigger world of larger birds. You will hear me talk about it in the video. E9 seems content to perch and play with bark in the pond snag after one early flight past the offices and back.
Thank you SWFEC, hosted by Dick Pritchett Real Estate, for maintaining such a suitable tree and environment for our Bald Eagle Family. www.dickpritche...
Vicki. love you videos. so happy they are every day. love this family and love you. you are wonderful. sending much love
I love your videos and commentary! You sound like such a sweet person. You have taught me so much about eagles. Bless you!
Linda Cuyler,,you are so welcome.
I agree with Linda..wskrsnwings...I look forward everyday now to what you share ... thank you for your commitment and love for the eagles and opening a small slice of their world up to us through your lens.
The blue jays are brave little fighters. So cute. E9 just looks at them thinking : Meh, not enough for a good breakfast, let`s wait for mum and Dad to bring me some fish .
Thanks about the crop lesson. I never knew that. How cool! Vicki, you're awesome!
Angela McCarthy, you are welcome. .
AAhhhhhh! Bless E9! and Blue Jay brave little bird.
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos. I look forward to them everyday!
Mr. Blue Bird is a excellent teacher. Totally enjoying watching these two. Thank you for sharing.
As I sit here watching this I am gasping everytime the Blue Jay goes after E9. I am yelling, stop it! E9 sure has patience. LOL
Ms. Vickie the teacher to everyone online and in person. 💖 He is magnificent isn't he? So amazingly graceful in the air. Yet still all youthful curious cuteness.
He actually had a bit of fish left-over from last night. He only ate half last night and saved the other half for this morning. Lady Hawk's video.
lmturmenne I seen that video! It was so sweet watching him go to sleep on that branch!
E9 is full of awesomeness. My heart felt a big tug in the final moments as you spoke. I could feel that and a tear ran down my cheek...
lori lori Same here. I have been watching him since a few days after the eggs were laid. It's going to be a happy day & sad day all in one when E9 finally takes off for life on his own. ❤😀❤
Hi lori lori. E9 is on their way to freedom and their own life. I wish they would stay forever too, but their desire is to get on with their own life.
Two years later and I still miss E9 and pray for his safety and successful life! ❤️❤️🦅🦅
That was incredibly adorable to watch. Thank you for sharing this. :)
Poor little E9! That pesky blue jay doesn't give him a break! 😥 Get a broom after him, Vicki!! Lol!!! 😊😊❤️
E9 like a toddler who just cant stand still and constantly experiencing, learning and balancing!! Their vision must be amazing! Jay is like an annoying little drone and so persistent! Too funny!
Wow, E9 is doing so well. I loved the way he turned his head sideways to look at the blue jay as if to say, "who are You?" and "Why are you swooping me?". Just like lori lori wrote, I felt my heart ache thinking how you must feel about him leaving soon. You've been out there every day and watching him grow up.
Amazing video of E9 and the gutsy bluejay! I have watched bluejays dive bomb dogs, cats, and the occasional person. But this little one was having a blast taking on the famous E9!
E9 is so gorgeous. Thank you for your wonderful videos! ❤❤
Ha! Blue Jays are the comedians of the bird world! He just wanted to play! Jays can be such a pain in the butt. I wonder how many become hor d'oeuvres for the big fellas? for a moment there I thought E9 was gonna' get 'em! Jays are crafty little critters!
Hello, I discovered this family of eagles from the Live ABC NEWS app back in December. So happy that I did because I would check on them morning and night. I have grown close to them because of ABC and after E9 started venturing from the nest, they stopped showing the Live shots. So glad I found them here on UA-cam. Just want to thank you and all who make these viewings possible to those of us who are far away from eagles. I live in a lightly wooded area and get to see Brown hawks hunt and terrorize the local blue jays and squirrels, so I knew what the jays were up to with E9. They warn other critters there is a predator nearby. Poor E9, he wasn't going to harm anyone...JUST YET, but only being a baby and discovering the world. Also, love your dialogue to him....
Pat, you are welcome.
E9 is quite the acrobat. Thanks so much for the video!
I have watched since they. laid their eggs.I will miss watching him. grow up fly free like. all those before you
he is such a character. what a personality
Tqvm for your daily videos. They are most entertaining n heartwarming as well. Just started eagle watching this year n E9 is my first eagle i watch since it hatched. Your videos have been very informative. Tq for your tireless effort filming everyday. I live half a globe away and your video will be the first that i look out n watch every single day. Keep up the good work wskrsnwings n God Bless
Hasnah Ayob, you are so welcome and thank you for your kind words, heard halfway across the globe. We are family, learning from this eagle family.
Wow! My heart is sad. He's going to take his forever journey soon to seek out his own adventures without us.😩
Damn it! You always make my eyes leak when you tell E9 you are going to miss him and that you love them.
I love watching E turn her head at the blue jay.... it's like she's saying dude what's wrong w u? Lol
It's just amazing how big "he's" gotten since his egg hatched. What a thrilling moment that was. Looks like he wants to be friends w the Blue Jay, but after a bit that bird really starts to bug him. lol I'm wondering if the Blue Jay had a nest near by. I'm gonna miss E9, but understand
Hi Super Annie Oakley, E9 is the size of his parents now. Such a big presence.
Beautiful video, blue jays are very brave
Sweet lady, I have learned that if you aren't worried then I shouldn't either
E9 is so gorgeous. Thank you for your video Wskrsnwings.
Love the way E9 just looks at that blue jay from all angles. What is up with the blue jay? E9 should just swoosh the blue jay with his wing. Another beautiful video!!!!! Ty!!!!!
Thanks for this video! I saw the blue jay dive bomb him the other morning on the webcam, but didn't know what was going on. There must be a nest close by that he was protecting. E9 doesn't know he's a predator yet, so he was like, "Dude...wtf?!" I saw a bunch of smaller birds leaving a knothole in that old dead tree, so maybe the nest is in there. Thanks again!
Amazing... it's David against Goliath !!! Love this brave blue jay... not afraid to confront our E9.
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️🦅
I love E9 and all his expressions
Awesome photography!! Thank you for these wonderful shots.
You're amazing. Thank you so much!
That blue jay was definitely trying to tell him something - don't you wish you understood bird talk!!?? lol Blue Jays are a pain in the butt!!
E9 is like I could have you as a snack if I wanted to
I like the chicken dance Jay does with his head lol
loved this video! ❤
thank you for all the wonderful videos and commentary all season. That is a brave blue jay to turn his back on E9 haha
I love your vids! that shot at 6:09 majestic!
I love this video
this is one of the best vids (SO FAR) that has shown his interaction with other birds not of a feather. Another great clip from your camera. Thanx, gigi
Look like E9 had a cigar 😄 in his mouth
❤️🦅
Didn't E9 just eat a bird last week? That blue jay better watch out before it becomes lunch.
Ok.... are you a labor and delivery nurse ? I find myself saying" Go, go, Go!", when my patient's are pushing. LOL!!!
LOL, Julie Chang.
blue Jays challenging e9 in boxing bjs really pissed
pissed blujay
Hi Vicky. Great video kiddo! Can u you tell me why they like the bark to eat? Is Harriet and M15 still feeding him? Thanks
Hi Linda k. Yes, M15 and Harriet will continue to feed E9 as long as he is there. Iit is normal for them to pick at the bark... they are getting the "feel" of
different textures and also finding out what is edible or not.
Thanks Vicki:) Why are the cameras still down??
I do not know what the problem was, but cams 1 and 3 are operating again.
Thank you so much my friend. You are so special in what you do and I think someone films for you.Great job!
Linda k, you are welcome. No one films for me however. I record and narrate all videos myself.
Lady Hawk do you think E9 will catch that bird as food or how much longer will it take for E9 to start hunting and the other thing is will the parents go after it if it continues to bother him
ps. this is wskrsnwings (Vicki). Ladywalk posts live feed cam videos and doesn't narrate like Wskrsmwings does. 😊
Angela Luttrell, successfully catching prey will be a while coming. It takes skill to catch any prey. The fledglings/juveniles main food source for at least the first year and maybe through their fifth year to maturity will be stealing and eating roadkill.
Angela Luttrell, the smaller birds pestering the eagles are a way of life as with all birds, large or small, who go after other birds to protect their territory. The Eagles, juvenile and adult, ignore them, or warn them some, or go to a different spot to perch.
Angela Luttrell I am Wskrsnwings. Lady Hawk dies the videos from the live feed and is a different person from me. She has very nice videos of what is seen through the line feed's "eyes".
How long does it take for E9 to develop the iconic white head, orange beak, and the white in its eyes? I've heard 2-3 years. does that sound right?
5 years
Five years, Dexter Williams. Here is a link to give you a better idea of changes each year to maturity. www.swbemc.org/plummage.html
Hello Ladyhawk, I have two questions. 1 -Is it normal for a young bald eagle to pick at the bark on a tree like E9 is? and 2- Did E9 hurt his foot or claw or talon? (sorry not sure of the correct term. ) Thanks
Hello Javin. I am Wskrsnwings who does the ground videos with narration. Lady Hawk is a videographer who does videos from the cam feeds online. Yes, it is normal to ppick at the bark... they are getting the "feel" of different textures and also finding out what is edible or not. E9 did not hurt his foot or talons. Here is more information on that: Why do birds stand on one leg?
It’s an adaptation called “rete mirabile” where the arteries that transport warm blood into the legs lie in contact with the veins that return colder blood to the bird’s heart. By tucking one leg up, birds reduce by half the amount of heat lost through their unfeathered limbs.
Also when you see them stretch the foot away from their body (not gripping the perch) it is to relax the foot and since their body temperature is so warm it also helps to cool it when it isn't so close to the body. Source: Dr. Glenn

where do they go when they leave?
Hi Terri. The young juveniles go north, sometimes as far as Canada, usually Chesapeake Bay according to our state wildlife officials. Then they will rerun each winter and migrate again in the spring/summer.
I noticed e pulls that one foot in alot. did he hurt it or is that normal?
Steel Magnolia Thank you after posting this I saw dad do it.
No, Rose, that is normal. Here is some information about this: Why do birds stand on one leg?
