WoW..Poor Gabby looked so scared..😨..but thank goodness they were able to protect and defend their nest..!! God please protect Samson and Gabrielle and their eggies and TY Lady Hawk for making us aware of this..just hope NO more intruders bother Samson or Gabby..!! 😔💟💕
The intruder was already around earlier, about 13.30 when Gabrielle was alone, on incubating duty, alerting and calling out for Samson. She even flew off, left the eggs alone for about 10 min to chase the intruder. Pheeew, that intruder was one strong and determined eagle, how he attacked Samson with purpose and outstretched claws. But Samson and Gabby were strong as well and very determined to defend their nest and eggs. Great teamwork. Samson is a hero and Romeo & Juliet would be very proud of him, their son. Impressive also Gabby, fearless and ready to fight. They make an amazing and convincing couple and this challenge even strengenthed their bond. Well done, you first time breeders, your performance was impeccable !! Glad no one got injured. Thanks, LH, for the video with different cam views. I've watched it live, but only from cam1.
I hope the intruder will no longer return and the nest and precious eggs will be safe. Gabriela can be proud of her husband. It was an uphill battle. Thank you, Lady Hawk💕💕
Wow, that intruder was so daring. Tried to drive Samson away from the nest. So glad he didn't get hurt. Gabrielle was sure voicing her displeasure. Glad they both went after that eagle, in this way it may not come back. Good job defending the nest and the eggs. Thanks Lady Hawk!
We got lucky here! Had both Samson and Gabrielle not been home when this intruder decided to invade we might be looking at a very situation. Samson had to fight off whomever that attacking Eagle was and he deserves our respect. Let's hope this intruder moves on as it's tough to break a unified pair in defense of their nest. Wonderful multi cam coverage and slo mo Lady Hawk thank you!💜
Someone really wants this nest. Thank goodness Samson and Gabby were able to chase it off. I have a feeling there will be more instances of this sort. So glad both of them are so well bonded.
I was watching during chat! So scary, but Samson and Gabrielle were awesome defending their nest and eggs. So relieved all is calm now. Thanks Lady Hawk for the details!
Samson is so brave. Pray everything will be fine for Samson, Gabrielle and the little eaglets throughout the season. Thank you, lady hawk, for capturing the tense moment.
Don't mess with this nest!!!!! Bless Gabby with her always & persistent screaming. *LOL* 😁Samson is a good & brave defender of his mate and eggies to be. What a great pair these two make. So awesome to watch the loyalty & love between these two. Thank you for sharing Lady Hawk 🥰❤️🦅🥚🥚🦅❤️
Oh wow! Sent his butt off. Good job Samson! She’s “Gabby” just defending her nest. She knows what other BAEA are capable of doing. Good job you too Gabby. What a awesome vid Lady Hawk! And their vocals. Wow! Communicating to each other. I’m speechless. I honestly love these 2 with all my heart ❤️. Thank you so much Lady Hawk for arranging this awesome vid! I’m amazed at all this action.
That was terrifying. Great job defending your best and eggs, Samson and Gabrielle 👏💞💖. That was a dedicated and bold intruder, shudder. Thanks LH. May this new pair and their offspring thrive this season in safety and love😘🦅🦅🥚🥚🥰
Wow does Gabby have a set of lungs!! They defended their home nd eggs with such admiration from myself 😍 Bald eagles will always amaze me - in their beauty, graceful flying, bonding, strength, and parenting. Ty lady hawk ♥️🦅🥚😍😘
I hope no one got hurt during the fight, especially Samson & Gabrielle. They will become parents for the first time. So, they need to be in a good shape. I hope the intruder, whoever s/he was, will find a mate and build their own nest elsewhere. Gosh, a fight always scares me. 🙄 TYVM for the video, LH. 🙏
Thank you, Lady Hawk. This was awesome! So glad to see the eggs in the nest. I kind of felt sorry for the sub-adult intruder (if he was the intruder). Poor thing had been moving sticks, thinking he'd found a great nest, not knowing it was already occupied.
Brazen Intruder or the original owner? - flying right at Samson like that would make me wonder if Romeo has returned from wherever he was the last year, if it is him hope he sees his son and Gabby are happily raising a family in his nest now and moves on with his own life and if it's a brazen intruder I Really hope he moves on with his own life now that Samson showed him the door, we don't need any repeats of last year - in any case that was beautiful teamwork by Sam and Gabby defending their nest - they are naturals at this. :)
Oh LH I pray you are right and we have peaceful season this year. Magnificent , strong Samson and Gabrielle !!! I had left the stream and missed this by two mins. What a scene for the chatters as chat was on. Wow ! Prayers for these two. We need peace this year 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
They have to be on constant alert. Good that this is their first season and they're strong but the intruder was very determined and strong too. I hope it stays away for good and let these two have peace. Lady Hawk - could you tell if that was a make or female? Slo Motion is excellent! - Stephanie
Not sure if it was male or female - it is possible it was a female who went after Samson. Normally male eagles will fight with other eagles but will not engage females because they are larger than they are. But here Samson had no choice but to defend his nest.
Hi Wanda no way to know for sure who the intruder was. There really was not a great scap we could compare it to Romeo or one of the previous intruders.
It's funny to see how different these eagles personalities are. I watch the Big Bear alot and Jackie seems way more aggressive than these two. I'm glad they finally managed to fight off the intruder though.
Our poor babies defending their precious eggs. Great parents taking care of their babies. I hope that rascal moves on and leaves Samson and Gabby alone. She's so upset. Love them. They need a happy season. Samson is screaming out, "bring it on and I'll kick you hind feathers".❤️❤️💝💝🍼🍼. Thanks LH ❤️
I’m so glad Gabbie has a set of lungs on her. I’m glad they were on the nest too! Gabby and Samson are a force to reckoned with when they are together. The bird appeared to be a male. Small like a male. Probably looking for a home. I hope that doesn’t happen again though. Scary.
Not to change the subject but I subscribe to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation and I just watched his video on a redtail hawk that lost all his tail feathers and he explained with video on blood feathers and showed what it looks like close up. It could show how E14 broke his blood feathers and bled and what his pin feathers look like. I found it very educational. Thank you Lady Hawk ❤🦅
Thank you Soaring Eagle - I watched this video too and it was very well done. I subscribe to SWWF - Martin does such wonderful work!! I think it could have been something like the pin feathers brushing against a stick on the nest that nicked it the wrong way. Heartbreaking that they are so fragile@!
Good Grief! Sampson had a few tufts of feathers that looked ruffled, but otherwise seemed unharmed. That was wild! In the drop down info you mention that they aren't going to let this happen again. Did they lose their nest to intruding Eagles before? Yikes!
RunAmuck Girl2 - She's referring to the same nest last year - it was Samson's parents - Romeo+Juliet. Romeo tried to incubate alone as Juliet went missing (she had a bloody beak a few days prior). It was Gabrielle - (then known as A2) that attempted to help Romeo incubate, but she was still too young to know what to do. Romeo then left - never seen since. Stephanie
@@RunAMuckGirl2 - Right - it's so hard raising their young - finding food, the weather, etc., and keeping intruders away. It's so special Samson is the son of Romeo+Juliet - a very loving pair ❤ Look through videos on NEFL site and Lady Hawk's site - there should be several on R+J. - Stephanie
Any chance this is Romeo and do you think Romeo would attack his own offspring? Do we really even know if it's male or female? Ty Ladyhawk for always keeping us in touch with what's happening with our eagles.
THIS nest was taken over by A2 (Gabrielle). She brought Samson in after she claimed it. It was tragic for Roneo and Juliet and the eaglet A2 took last year.
Hi Diane no these are different eagles. This nest is in Northeast Florida with Samson and Gabrielle. The nest of Harriet and M15 is located in Southwest Florida about 317 miles south of Samson and Gabrielle's nest.
@@dianerichardson5585 This is the nest where Juliet was in a fight with another eagle and had wounds on her face and talons. She left and never returned. Romeo incubated both eggs and defended the nest from multiple intruders and did the best he could with hunting for food and trying to protect and incubate the eggs. After NE21 was taken by the intruder female he took off and never returned. Here is the full story at the NEFL site and read about Romeo and Juliet : nefleaglecam.org/
Wow, that intruder meant business, coming in with talons drawn. Samson really proved himself capable of defending what's his and his precious family.
WoW..Poor Gabby looked so scared..😨..but thank goodness they were able to protect and defend their nest..!! God please protect Samson and Gabrielle and their eggies and TY Lady Hawk for making us aware of this..just hope NO more intruders bother Samson or Gabby..!! 😔💟💕

It's so lawless in the wild like this. Just shows the strength and guts and determination both sides have.
I hope no one got hurt during the fight, especially Samson & Gabrielle. They will become parents for the first time. So, they need to be in a good shape.
I hope the intruder, whoever s/he was, will find a mate and build their own nest elsewhere.

I was very proud of them. A little nerve wrecking for a few minutes
Oh LH I pray you are right and we have peaceful season this year. Magnificent , strong Samson and Gabrielle !!! I had left the stream and missed this by two mins. What a scene for the chatters as chat was on. Wow ! Prayers for these two. We need peace this year 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Sue Dumas I so agree ! Sending my prayers too!
Thank you for the great video & description. Both Samson & Gabby did wonderfully in protecting the nest & eggs.
Yeah, their not dealing with older eagles this time, these two are young, willing and able to defend their nest. Wtg, Gabbie & Samson. 💜💜
They have to be on constant alert. Good that this is their first season and they're strong but the intruder was very determined and strong too.
I hope it stays away for good and let these two have peace.

That crossed my mind as well, but hopefully Romeo has moved on with Juliet.
Hi Wanda no way to know for sure who the intruder was. There really was not a great scap we could compare it to Romeo or one of the previous intruders.
She literally sounds like a siren
I was so nervous thank god all is good wonderful parents 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Romeo? Would any one be able to identify HIM?
That sure was a scary ordeal! Samson and Gabriel should get a medal of honor for bravery! Hoping the intruder was chased of for good never to return!

@@SW13333 Thank you so much for the back story. I really appreciate it. It's not an easy life for them, is it?
@@DR-qf9th Me too. Just started with this nest. One nest watch leads to another. lol It's a gateway drug.

Has it already been asked if that might have been Romeo??
Could have been Romeo?
Wow!! Persistent!!
Any chance this is Romeo and do you think Romeo would attack his own offspring? Do we really even know if it's male or female? Ty Ladyhawk for always keeping us in touch with what's happening with our eagles.
Hi Carol no way to know who the intruder was or their gender!
This is when bands would really help.
We are trying to understand the way of the eagle..if u dont know. ??? WHO IS WHO??. ???
Could have been Romeo...
Wow that was crazy!
You protect your family Sam
Wow! Just wow!!
Has there ever been a nest takeover before, and if so, what happens???
THIS nest was taken over by A2 (Gabrielle). She brought Samson in after she claimed it. It was tragic for Roneo and Juliet and the eaglet A2 took last year.
@@RichKatRanch what do you mean A2 'took' the eaglet? Raised as her own? How sad 😔
@@16MedicRN she ate it
That was intense! Whew!
That was intense!
Noooo, again? last year Romeo and Juliet, sir bless this nest and keep the intruders away from him

Are these 2 eagles the same ones that were from the Southwest Florida Eagle cam?
Hi Diane no these are different eagles. This nest is in Northeast Florida with Samson and Gabrielle. The nest of Harriet and M15 is located in Southwest Florida about 317 miles south of Samson and Gabrielle's nest.
Lady Hawk i realized that after I wrote it. This is the nest were mom and dad left and never returned. Not knowing what happened to them. Correct?

Lady Hawk yes that is the one I am Talking about i was watching them when it happened. Sampson is their son
OMG, that's terrifying
what if it was Romeo :(
Boy oh boy. To go after a couple with eggies to protect is either brazen or stupid. This lovely couple won’t fight fair to protect the babies
Wow 😮
Oh my goodness!!!
Stsy safe.
Super dad
Hope the intruder stays away!!!!!
lady hawk.. you dont think it was that mean one.. A1 i think...
Let's hope not! She's the one who broke up Romeo and Juliet.
i think it was a male
Judging by the vocals and size I believe it was a male
No I don't think it was A3! She was huge!! No way to know who the intruder was or if male or female!
