Hello everyone. Now that E9 has dispersed from the area, I will not be going to the nest everyday. I have a Wskrsnwings Facebook page and I always communicate when I will be at the nest. The page also has photos correlating to each video I do. You do not need a Facebook account to view everything contained on this page. If you want to comment, you have to have a Facebook account. The link to my Wskrsnwings Facebook page is: m.facebook.com/wskrsnwings/
wskrsnwings Thanks for today's video and sharing Harriet and M. We all miss E9 but he/she is doing what he was created to do...Fly Free. "I love you E9, be safe and be careful". Thanks for letting us know you will not be going to the nest everyday and providing the link to your Facebook page. I will definitely be keeping up with you. You are a jewel....✌
Loved loved loved seeing Harriett and M15! Especially hearing your sweet voice talking to Mother Nature's creations in the pasture. Thank you for caring.
A lot of things going on in the pasture that the cams can't see. Thanks Vicki, for showing them to us. Harriet and M having a conversation in the nest tree, then off they went. The beautiful coyote, that you talked away from the highway, ("oh honey, you're going the wrong way"), safely into the bushes. E9 on our minds all the time. Vicki's sweet voice. Thanks again, Vicki.
thank you ms.Vicki for the video. it was so nice to see m15 and harriet bonding.I never get tired of hearing your sweet voice talking to mother natures.I can hear the love in your voice you have for the eagles and the other little animals. your a wonderful sweet lady ms.Vicki. I'm still crying over e9.I love that eagle family so much. thank you
Thank you for all your videos all this season.You and everyone did a fantastic job showing us this precious eagle family's life! Awesome job! Fly E9 fly!
You are such a caring person. We are lucky to have you to show us the animals. I love your sweet voice when you talk to them. Especially E9. Don't go anywhere. We will be watching and listening to you. Love E9 and miss him so much!
Thank you so much for continuing the story of Harriet and M15...I hope E8 and E9 are well and I look forward to next year's egg(s).....in the meantime I hope Mom and Dad have a safe and healthy summer and fall.
Thank you so much Vicki for continuing to show us what's happening around the nest tree area. There sure was a lot to see today!! The coyote was beautiful. We used to see them run from the woods across our yard & back to the woods all the time. Now this area has been built up so much there is no wildlife left. It's such a shame that they built all along this hwy. by where I live. Most of it was woods. And the places they cleared to put buildings was totally useless!! No new stores...they just moved some of the stores further down the road towards the west. Between our house & the main road is a small woods & a retention pond. Most of that got cleared out by the hurricane last summer. So now even the little racoon have hardly anywhere to go. I wish they would leave some of these woods alone for our precious wildlife!! Anyway, thank you so much for continuing to share your awesome videos!! It was great to see Harriet & M15 in the nest tree together!! And it's always great to hear your loving voice. Take care!! I will be excited to see any video you share with us!! I love you E9 & miss you!! Hugs & love to you as well Vicki. ❤😀❤
Thanks Vickie for letting us visit M15 and H. We moved here to South Carolina Low Country 3 years ago after living in California for 40 years. Everybody was complaining about the bugs. My comment: The airl is health enough for the bugs it is probably health for us, too. California does not have bumble bees or many bugs!! Too much pollution!
Thanks Vicki, for making one more video to celebrate my husband's 67th......it truly has been a pleasure seeing your neighborhood and enjoying all the sights and sounds......have a good summer, and we'll see you again soon. It sure has been nice watching M and H in the nest tree these last four nights........Love to yous' and our E9.
I enjoyed another great video of Harriet and M15 early in the morning along with all the other little creatures from Florida. Thank you Wskrsnwings for just being you. It amazes me still how much the internet can connect with other peoples passion. I love seeing the other animals and birds that we don't have in Oregon. Thanks
Oh Vicki, I was so happy to see notification pop up that you uploaded a video, I stopped everything I was doing to watch!! I'm really enjoying watching H and M interact as mates; I check every night close to 8pm EST now to see if H and/or M are there. It seems Harriet has been stopping by almost every evening! That coyote and squirrel were so CUTE! And a kitty!!! I love cats; I have one named Ceasar :-) Thank you for this; you made my day!
well hello pretty lady .loved hearing your voice and your video,,,just perfect,,you do such wonderful work,,,miss nature lady,,,,THANK YOU ,,,so much,,I could not wait to turn my lap top on to see if you were here,,,,have a bright and happy day,,
I would wake up every morning and go right to your videos with my coffee!!!! I will miss your sweet voice vicki, but i am looking forward to new little E babies!!!!! take care!!!!
Vicki when I saw that you had posted a video I got so excited I thought that for a minute E9 had come home. Gosh I did not realize how you can get attached to a fellow creature, but he/she is just so darn cute. I do so love him and I really miss him, which is silly really as I have so many other people and fur friends in my life here in Australia. I just find myself in my quiet moments crying my eyes out. I join with all my fellow Bald Eagle lovers and say 'Thanks ever so much' for your lovely videos. God Bless.
Thank you so much for taking your time to video all of these beautiful animals I can't tell you how much I miss E9 I hope you keep doing the videos of mom and dad and I think I will miss you talking about him or her I so enjoyed your commentary of them
I saved this video to watch before I went to sleep and so glad I did. It's been comforting to see Harriet and M15 together in the nest tree and nest, and as they are again tonight. I think they miss E9 too, even eggbert makes an appearance. It was lovely watching the different wildlife in the pasture. Thank you again! SED's :)
Thank you. Happy to see H & M but still miss seeing E9. Hope he is at his destination and is eating well. Much smaller squirrels than in the North. Guess the northern ones are fatter because of the cold winters. Thank you again
I cried and cried watching your video.....I can sense your nostalgia, your love for E9 and his parents.....still crying here, lady. I bless your heart, and your beloved E9's and his parents'
thank you Vicki for today's video. you have made my first season with the eagles a memorial one. I really enjoy all that you do. oh in case you don't know Dudley has resurfaced. no empty nest here LOL. until next time stay happy and healthy.
Thanks for video of H & M. Loved seeing them together . Also love the way you show all the other critters in the field. Miss E9 but I know they taught him well , and he is having fun exploring the world .
I loved hearing the love in your voice ..I enjoyed your narrations so much and i miss E9 terribly! it was such an enjoyable journey and I'm thankful you shared it with us!! Hugs!!
What a peaceful and relaxing video. Love all the nature. The black cat at the end reminds me of our sweet cat who passed away a few years back. Thanks Vicki for sharing all this nature with us.
Thank you so much Vicki for the update. Can't believe a coyote on this side of the road! Still missing E9 of course but I know he is doing well. Mom and Dad did a good job. Love the videos my friend.
So glad to see your video here Vicki. We are still going through E9 withdrawal and your videos are helping. And I can't believe EGGBERT re-emerged. I felt like M15 was laying on that nest the other day like he was sitting on an egg. Sure enough he was! I think H & M are still missing E9 and weren't quite ready for him to go. I keep hoping he makes a visit home.
CandeeKis, I love being at the nest recording this family and other wildlife activity and sharing my videos with everyone. Eggbert surprised all of us.
Thank you so much for your time and amazing videos. It's been a beautiful experience. You speak with so much love for nature. From Erie beach Ontario Canada I'm going to continue watching
Oh my gosh!! I forgot to tell you...my husband & I were driving to Wal-Mart Sunday and there was a juvenile eagle flying behind our SUV!! I just know E9 is going to sit here with me for a few days!! lol I will try to get a picture if I see it again and share it on Facebook with you. 😀
Thank you for your beautiful videos. So beautiful Seeing Harriet and M15 bond,they are a beautiful pair. I can't wait to check around 7:30 to see if they are there and wait for them.
Awesome close up of the coyote. Loved when you zoomed in and got such a good shot of it's eyes. Your love and compassion for all wildlife is so touching. I hope he went back away from the road where he will be safe.
Vicki Thank You so much for your video of Harriet and M. I love seeing them so nestorations and simply having alone time. Wow, a lot going on in the pasture. I was scared for the coyote...I could sense your concern. I never saw a blue jay up close....amazing pattern of blue feathers. I did not realize that the crib rails went down so much from the "measuring stick"....wow...as a newbie I look forward to watching them add to the nest. I miss you E9. I know in my heart he is doing great. Have a blessed day Vicki
michele deforge, you are welcome. Yes, the crib rails get "tromped down" by the increased activity of the eaglets as they wingersize and hop on the crib rails. The adults rebuild the crib rails each year usually getting serious about it in the fall. I will be there to record them bringing the new sticks and grasses.
my heart is still breaking as i watched e9 every day since s/he first hatched...but, that's life. thank-you for all these wonderful videos. definitely will keep watching...and hoping to see e9 again. is that likely to occur?
sammy bubba, you are welcome and thank you for continuing to watch. I am sure you miss E9 very much. E9 may be seen again next fall as the eagles migrate back here. I like to think any first year juvenile that we may see flying close to the nest tree may be E9, even though we will never know for sure.
thank you for your videos i watch all of them this is the first one im having a problem with ... but i love seeing whats going on with H& M and i love how much you love them ❤
How wonderful to hear your voice again. I thought you were on break now until the fall. I am so grateful that you get to see Harriet and M15 and you are sharing them with us. I'm guessing there is no sign of E9. Still missing that baby so much. Do you get to see coyotes in the pasture a lot? Isn't that a little scary? He/she was beautiful! Thank you for this great video. Looking forward to another one.
Patty Rhodenizer, thank you. There have been no sightings of E9 since May 2nd. I was told in 2012 that there were coyotes in the wooded areas between the other pastures that are out of our sight, but I had never seen one until this Tuesday. Not scary, but a surprise.
Hi Vicki! I was so happy to see you were here! I was missing you and our eagle family. I wondered how long it would be before you came back to check on the nest and everything. You miss him too, don't you? 😪❤️
wskrsnwings of course you do! Lol. You told me you did that, but it seems like forever when I'm so used to hearing you and seeing the family every day. 💕💕💕
What a gorgeous coyote in the pasture ! It's so sweet seeing H and M bonding together. eh by the way do coyotes attack humans ? and horses ?! be careful ;) oh yes we do miss our buddy :') sure he's having a great time wherever he is
Pascalou Ragon, Hi. The horses and coyote seemed to pay no attention to each other. Coyotes are wary of humans as you saw in the video as he watched us.
Steel Magnolia, I have been told by several North Ft Myers residents that the coyotes here in SW FL are pretty quiet and do not eat anything except the smaller animals. I do not know myself if this is true though.
Nice Coyote 'camera capture' in the early morning light! Hopefully he/she made it back to the brush. Beautiful property that seems well suited for wildlife! Great photography today and thought of E9 when you zoomed in on the nest tree. Even the old Slash Pines looked majestic. They serve well as training ground for the eagles as they learn to branch. Love my squirrels and Blue Jays. Thanks, Vicky!!!!
Thank you for the great videos. You do such a wonderful job with narration and I can tell you love all wildlife. Just be careful and keep distance whenever there is a coyote. They can be very dangerous.
I stopped for two squirrels on the back-roads as we were travelling to church Sunday. They can never make up their minds which way they want to go. They hesitate right in the middle and dance back and forward until they suddenly sprint for one side or the other. They're funny little creatures. .... You have a great camera for getting nice sharp video. Those bluejays were stunning and the eyes on that coyote were... well he or she was gorgeous. Might have been the same one you caught on video at Yonder Pond.
Imturmenne, yes, those squirrels do go back and forth. I have to just stop my car too. Thank you, it is a very good little camcorder. The coyote in the pasture appeared younger than the one at yonder pond, but this one sure looked like he wanted to cross the road to yonder pond. I am glad he did not.
Its been Wonderful following this eagle family from your point of view, you express and sound like a Wonderful n Lovely Person, Thanks very much for you videos, they have been an insight I wouldn't have witnessed not for you.. a Beautiful coyote there, I didn't think you got those in Florida, got a bit anxious when he kept licking his chops though I must say, I think you did too.. lol.. Have a Lovely Summer and look forward to seeing the family return and resume the cycle in the Autumn.. x~x~x Love n Peace
openedmieyez, The coyote was 'anxious' and that is why he was 'licking his chops'. This is a behavior of dogs also when they are uneasy, anxious about their situation or the place they might be. Hope that helps. And thank you for your kind words. :)
Frederick Bowman, I miss each one when they leave but I am so happy they survived to start their own life as a young eagle. Bald eagles have one clutch a year. Harriet usually lays her eggs in November.
I Love your videos. I hope that beautiful coyote stays safe, and stays away from the eagles, rabbits, and that beautiful cat (and all others). They are bad here is southern Ohio, attacking small animals, even a border collie near me.
Poor Coyote he must have caught a whiff of something across the road and was hungry enough to chance going after it. Glad you were able to ward him off back to safety. Hope he finds a rabbit to tide him over and he doesn't try to cross the road again. So dangerous. Thanks for the video!
When I ask if you saw what I was seeing a minute ago I was talking about live feed not this video. I had to talk to you and they don't allow commenting on their page so I found the most recent video of yours. I tried to get on the live feed page and comment but you can't. It stops. But I was referring to yesterday morning after they restored their live feed and right before eggbert. Do you know there that huge cluster of trees is and which direction. Is it same direction e9 flew in the other day. It's so sweet how concerned you were about the Fox. You seem just like me. I love all animals and I watch alot of animal cameras from explore. Thank you dear for your wonderful videos.
Hi Vicki! Thank you for this sweet video. It's weird to watch these videos and not see E9 in them but it's still great to hear your soothing voice. Vicki I read somewhere that after the parents raise their young eaglets that the male and female separate for months and then fly back to the nest to meet again when it's time to mate...is this true?
Nancy H, you are welcome. Harriet and M15, as well as other SW FL mated pairs, do not migrate. They remain in the area year round. H and M may perch different places where we cannot see them, but they are never too far away from each other or their territory.
Do you see what I'm seeing this morning. This is another clustered tree area. You know the camera operator went to thus area yesterday after the camera was restored yesterday morning. They had zoomed in a clustered tree area and zoomed in on the middle of a tree and I swear to you it was E9 in that tree. Not mom or dad but E9. Now I'm seeing mom and dad in the clustered three area and I'm thinking they know just where he is and are helping him. I'm telling you I bet anything. How about you. That's why I started thinking that he isn't very far away maybe after all. What direction do you think thus is from nest tree and could it still be in Southwest fla. Preferably in Tampa area. Isn't that where you are and the nest tree. OK people who else is seeing what I'm seeing. I didn't even know that their cameras reached that far and they're not saying a word about it. What say you.
Hi Carol Roman, the area the cam is zooming to is yonder pond. Yonder pond is just across the road from the nest tree to the south. This nest is in North Fort Myers; Tampa is about 125 miles north. E9 has not been sighted by any of the ground crew in the yonder pond area yesterday or any day since the last sighting May 2. E9 could be in Northern FL in the panhandle area or as far north as Chesapeake Bay. This is what FWC says about eagle migration: "Movements: Most of Florida's breeding bald eagles, especially those nesting in the extreme southern peninsula, remain in the state year-round, but most subadults, or birds not quite fully grown, and non-breeding adults migrate out of Florida (Stevenson and Anderson 1994, Curnutt 1996, Mojica 2006). Eagles migrate northward between April and August and return southward from late July through late December. Juveniles migrate northward later than older subadults (Broley 1947, Wood and Collopy 1995, Mojica 2006). Most juveniles disperse at about 128 days of age and spend their first summer as far north as Newfoundland, with peak numbers summering around Chesapeake Bay and the coastal plain of North Carolina (Broley 1947, Millsap et al. 2004, Mojica 2006). Florida's bald eagles use three migration flyways - the Atlantic coast, Appalachian Mountains, and the Mississippi River valley - with equal frequency, and they use stopover sites for resting or foraging (Mojica 2006). Eagles also exhibit nomadic wandering, mostly by subadults. Northern-breeding alascanus bald eagles winter in Florida at least occasionally (Stevenson and Anderson 1994)." myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/bald-eagle/information/biology/
I have only seen one. But I hear the pack quite often at night. They make a very eerie sound, very much like a siren, in fact, if a police/fire siren sounds, they answer it. When they are really close I hear the individual "yips" too. The area I live in was at one time surrounded by heavy woods, but man has built on much of their habitat, sadly. We still have a lot of woods around us so I hear them making their rounds a lot.
Hello everyone. Now that E9 has dispersed from the area, I will not be going to the nest everyday. I have a Wskrsnwings Facebook page and I always communicate when I will be at the nest.

You are such a caring person. We are lucky to have you to show us the animals. I love your sweet voice when you talk to them. Especially E9. Don't go anywhere. We will be watching and listening to you. Love E9 and miss him so much!
Rose Ann Brown, thank you.
Thank you Vicki. Life in the pasture goes on. Happy to see Harriet and M. Hope that coyote disappears for good. Can't sop missing E9.
Thank you so much for continuing the story of Harriet and M15...I hope E8 and E9 are well and I look forward to next year's egg(s).....in the meantime I hope Mom and Dad have a safe and healthy summer and fall.

Debi Boyd, you are welcome. I agree we need to leave habitat for wildlife.
Thanks Vickie for letting us visit M15 and H. We moved here to South Carolina Low Country 3 years ago after living in California for 40 years. Everybody was complaining about the bugs. My comment: The airl is health enough for the bugs it is probably health for us, too. California does not have bumble bees or many bugs!! Too much pollution!
Anne Cubley, I love your attitude. 😊
Thanks Vicki, for making one more video to celebrate my husband's 67th......it truly has been a pleasure seeing your neighborhood and enjoying all the sights and sounds......have a good summer, and we'll see you again soon. It sure has been nice watching M and H in the nest tree these last four nights........Love to yous' and our E9.
How cool - I didn't know you had Coyotes there! He was beautiful too! It was wonderful to hear you and see Harriet and M15!
So wonderful to hear your voice
Robbie Leighty, thank you.
THANKS......Vicki....much appreciated!

You are welcome, Sally Mcintosh. Maybe E9 will fly over the nest tree next fall when all the migrating eagles return.
Thank you! 💗 Interesting variety today! Thoroughly enjoyed! 💗
and they love you, the squirrel , horses, birds, coyote, all , and you love E9s tree🌲🦅
Thank you so much for taking your time to video all of these beautiful animals I can't tell you how much I miss E9 I hope you keep doing the videos of mom and dad and I think I will miss you talking about him or her I so enjoyed your commentary of them
vicky thompson, you are welcome. I will visit the nest occasionally over the summer and do videos of Harriet and/or M15 if I see them.
I saved this video to watch before I went to sleep and so glad I did. It's been comforting to see Harriet and M15 together in the nest tree and nest, and as they are again tonight.
I think they miss E9 too, even eggbert makes an appearance. It was lovely watching the different wildlife in the pasture. Thank you again! SED's :)
You are welcome, lori lori.
Beautiful video! Thank you, Vicki!
Thank you. Happy to see H & M but still miss seeing E9. Hope he is at his destination and is eating well. Much smaller squirrels than in the North. Guess the northern ones are fatter because of the cold winters. Thank you again
Yes, Anne, the climate has a lot to do with size.
Oh my, I couldn't stop chuckling when M nipped Harriet's tail feathers in the nest! Cheeky boy. Love them so much, thank you for sharing this with us!
I cried and cried watching your video.....I can sense your nostalgia, your love for E9 and his parents.....still crying here, lady. I bless your heart, and your beloved E9's and his parents'
Thank you so much ❤❤
thank you Vicki for today's video. you have made my first season with the eagles a memorial one. I really enjoy all that you do. oh in case you don't know Dudley has resurfaced. no empty nest here LOL. until next time stay happy and healthy.
Mary Cebzanov, you are welcome. I did see that egg #1 is still tucked under the nest grasses... never a dull moment at Harriet and M15's nest.
❤❤🦅🦅 Thank you Vickie. fantastic video.
Thanks for video of H & M. Loved seeing them together . Also love the way you show all the other critters in the field. Miss E9 but I know they taught him well , and he is having fun exploring the world .
Yes be safe E9 wherever you may be. Thank you for the update. Have a great day!
Lisanero, you are welcome.
I loved hearing the love in your voice ..I enjoyed your narrations so much and i miss E9 terribly! it was such an enjoyable journey and I'm thankful you shared it with us!! Hugs!!
Jackie Ensz, you are welcome.
What a peaceful and relaxing video. Love all the nature. The black cat at the end reminds me of our sweet cat who passed away a few years back. Thanks Vicki for sharing all this nature with us.
Lynn Young, you are welcome.
Thank you so much Vicki for the update. Can't believe a coyote on this side of the road! Still missing E9 of course but I know he is doing well. Mom and Dad did a good job. Love the videos my friend.
Carolyn, you are welcome.
Steel Magnolia, this coyote appeared younger than the one at yonder pond, but I am sure he knows that territory.
So glad to see your video here Vicki. We are still going through E9 withdrawal and your videos are helping. And I can't believe EGGBERT re-emerged. I felt like M15 was laying on that nest the other day like he was sitting on an egg. Sure enough he was! I think H & M are still missing E9 and weren't quite ready for him to go. I keep hoping he makes a visit home.
CandeeKis, I love being at the nest recording this family and other wildlife activity and sharing my videos with everyone. Eggbert surprised all of us.
Super video today loved seeing the Coyote and even a Pussy Cat. Thankyou. Kisses for you E9❤
Thank you so much for your time and amazing videos. It's been a beautiful experience. You speak with so much love for nature. From Erie beach Ontario Canada I'm going to continue watching
Caroline Aldridge, you are welcome and thank you for continuing to watch.
That coyote is gorgeous!
I was hoping you were safe. thanks for the times you showed us E9. Be Bless
Codell Jones, you are welcome.
Oh my gosh!! I forgot to tell you...my husband & I were driving to Wal-Mart Sunday and there was a juvenile eagle flying behind our SUV!! I just know E9 is going to sit here with me for a few days!! lol I will try to get a picture if I see it again and share it on Facebook with you. 😀
How exciting, Debi. Keep watching, especially for E9. :)
Thank you for your beautiful videos. So beautiful Seeing Harriet and M15 bond,they are a beautiful pair. I can't wait to check around 7:30 to see if they are there and wait for them.
Sherri Vansyckel, it has been wonderful seeing them each morning and evening.
I also Love seeing M&H together. What a pair! I wonder if the coyote was looking for water.
The coyote passed right by the pasture pond so he may have just been traveling to another destination.
Thanks for keeping us informed Vicki ! ..sure helps with the withdrawl ! :-)
Sue Dumas, you are welcome.
Thanks for your beautiful videos
Jill Snoddon, you are welcome.
I'll miss you too Wskrsnwings
You make the best videos and your always sound so sweet. Keep looking up.
MissMarti 007, thank you. We will all keep looking up. :)
Awesome close up of the coyote. Loved when you zoomed in and got such a good shot of it's eyes. Your love and compassion for all wildlife is so touching. I hope he went back away from the road where he will be safe.
dunkinsperson, yes, I wish the best for the young male coyote too. All the wildlife work hard to survive.
Vicki Thank You so much for your video of Harriet and M. I love seeing them so nestorations and simply having alone time. Wow, a lot going on in the pasture. I was scared for the coyote...I could sense your concern. I never saw a blue jay up close....amazing pattern of blue feathers. I did not realize that the crib rails went down so much from the "measuring stick"....wow...as a newbie I look forward to watching them add to the nest. I miss you E9. I know in my heart he is doing great. Have a blessed day Vicki
michele deforge, you are welcome. Yes, the crib rails get "tromped down" by the increased activity of the eaglets as they wingersize and hop on the crib rails. The adults rebuild the crib rails each year usually getting serious about it in the fall. I will be there to record them bringing the new sticks and grasses.
my heart is still breaking as i watched e9 every day since s/he first hatched...but, that's life. thank-you for all these wonderful videos. definitely will keep watching...and hoping to see e9 again. is that likely to occur?
sammy bubba, you are welcome and thank you for continuing to watch. I am sure you miss E9 very much. E9 may be seen again next fall as the eagles migrate back here. I like to think any first year juvenile that we may see flying close to the nest tree may be E9, even though we will never know for sure.
Beautiful. There was one recent video of bodies of H & M made the shape of a heart.
thank you for your videos i watch all of them this is the first one im having a problem with ... but i love seeing whats going on with H& M and i love how much you love them ❤
Linda Milasch ,me too empty nest syndrome, I'm guessing, so missing E9😢
Linda Milasch, I am sorry you are having a problem viewing the video.
I thank you are amazing and am going to miss u
How wonderful to hear your voice again. I thought you were on break now until the fall. I am so grateful that you get to see Harriet and M15 and you are sharing them with us. I'm guessing there is no sign of E9. Still missing that baby so much.
Do you get to see coyotes in the pasture a lot? Isn't that a little scary? He/she was beautiful!
Thank you for this great video. Looking forward to another one.
Patty Rhodenizer, thank you. There have been no sightings of E9 since May 2nd. I was told in 2012 that there were coyotes in the wooded areas between the other pastures that are out of our sight, but I had never seen one until this Tuesday. Not scary, but a surprise.
Hi Vicki! I was so happy to see you were here! I was missing you and our eagle family. I wondered how long it would be before you came back to check on the nest and everything. You miss him too, don't you? 😪❤️
Judy Eidson, I always come back to 'check' on these two.
wskrsnwings of course you do! Lol. You told me you did that, but it seems like forever when I'm so used to hearing you and seeing the family every day. 💕💕💕
What a gorgeous coyote in the pasture ! It's so sweet seeing H and M bonding together. eh by the way do coyotes attack humans ? and horses ?! be careful ;)
oh yes we do miss our buddy :') sure he's having a great time wherever he is
Pascalou Ragon, Hi. The horses and coyote seemed to pay no attention to each other. Coyotes are wary of humans as you saw in the video as he watched us.
Steel Magnolia, I have been told by several North Ft Myers residents that the coyotes here in SW FL are pretty quiet and do not eat anything except the smaller animals. I do not know myself if this is true though.
Nice Coyote 'camera capture' in the early morning light! Hopefully he/she made it back to the brush. Beautiful property that seems well suited for wildlife! Great photography today and thought of E9 when you zoomed in on the nest tree. Even the old Slash Pines looked majestic. They serve well as training ground for the eagles as they learn to branch. Love my squirrels and Blue Jays. Thanks, Vicky!!!!
Marcia Bitting, you are welcome.
Thank you for the great videos. You do such a wonderful job with narration and I can tell you love all wildlife. Just be careful and keep distance whenever there is a coyote. They can be very dangerous.
Flower Girl, you're welcome. I will be careful.
I stopped for two squirrels on the back-roads as we were travelling to church Sunday. They can never make up their minds which way they want to go. They hesitate right in the middle and dance back and forward until they suddenly sprint for one side or the other. They're funny little creatures.
.... You have a great camera for getting nice sharp video. Those bluejays were stunning and the eyes on that coyote were... well he or she was gorgeous. Might have been the same one you caught on video at Yonder Pond.
Imturmenne, yes, those squirrels do go back and forth. I have to just stop my car too. Thank you, it is a very good little camcorder. The coyote in the pasture appeared younger than the one at yonder pond, but this one sure looked like he wanted to cross the road to yonder pond. I am glad he did not.
Its been Wonderful following this eagle family from your point of view, you express and sound like a Wonderful n Lovely Person, Thanks very much for you videos, they have been an insight I wouldn't have witnessed not for you.. a Beautiful coyote there, I didn't think you got those in Florida, got a bit anxious when he kept licking his chops though I must say, I think you did too.. lol.. Have a Lovely Summer and look forward to seeing the family return and resume the cycle in the Autumn..
x~x~x
Love n Peace
openedmieyez, The coyote was 'anxious' and that is why he was 'licking his chops'. This is a behavior of dogs also when they are uneasy, anxious about their situation or the place they might be. Hope that helps. And thank you for your kind words. :)
I miss E9
As always .. beautiful :)
Dear sweet Woman you seem to be missing the baby E9, sorry you have give us so much joy with your videos of E9 WILL THEY HAVE MORE BABYS
Frederick Bowman, I miss each one when they leave but I am so happy they survived to start their own life as a young eagle. Bald eagles have one clutch a year. Harriet usually lays her eggs in November.
I Love your videos.
I hope that beautiful coyote stays safe, and stays away from the eagles, rabbits, and that beautiful cat (and all others). They are bad here is southern Ohio, attacking small animals, even a border collie near me.
RockChickPurrs, sounds like you have a lot of coyotes. Hoping the owners are going out with their pets to prevent further attacks.
I think most do. I know I would.
My furbabies are feline and do not go out.
Poor Coyote he must have caught a whiff of something across the road and was hungry enough to chance going after it. Glad you were able to ward him off back to safety. Hope he finds a rabbit to tide him over and he doesn't try to cross the road again. So dangerous. Thanks for the video!
The coyote could not hear me, but I sure tried to will him back into the brush.
wskrsnwings Well I'm glad he felt your will and energy. It worked.👍🏽
I miss E9...cried for 2 days:(
I wonder if that coyote is the one you saw over at yonder pond. Somehow got across the road?
Carolyn, this one looked younger. And he better not be crossing that road. ;)
16:15 Looks like a raven to me...
awuma, ravens are larger and we do not have ravens in Florida.
Pascalou.. I'm no coyote expert, but I know that if they're seen in packs, then its time to be worried..otherwise they mind their own business :-)
3:17 If you watch real closely...LOL M15 pinches Harriet's tail feather and doesn't want to let go!
When I ask if you saw what I was seeing a minute ago I was talking about live feed not this video. I had to talk to you and they don't allow commenting on their page so I found the most recent video of yours. I tried to get on the live feed page and comment but you can't. It stops. But I was referring to yesterday morning after they restored their live feed and right before eggbert. Do you know there that huge cluster of trees is and which direction. Is it same direction e9 flew in the other day. It's so sweet how concerned you were about the Fox. You seem just like me. I love all animals and I watch alot of animal cameras from explore. Thank you dear for your wonderful videos.
Carol Roman, see my answer below.
Hi Vicki! Thank you for this sweet video. It's weird to watch these videos and not see E9 in them but it's still great to hear your soothing voice. Vicki I read somewhere that after the parents raise their young eaglets that the male and female separate for months and then fly back to the nest to meet again when it's time to mate...is this true?
Nancy H, you are welcome. Harriet and M15, as well as other SW FL mated pairs, do not migrate. They remain in the area year round. H and M may perch different places where we cannot see them, but they are never too far away from each other or their territory.
Nice to hear...thank you for getting back to me!!! Lots of love
Do you see what I'm seeing this morning. This is another clustered tree area. You know the camera operator went to thus area yesterday after the camera was restored yesterday morning. They had zoomed in a clustered tree area and zoomed in on the middle of a tree and I swear to you it was E9 in that tree. Not mom or dad but E9. Now I'm seeing mom and dad in the clustered three area and I'm thinking they know just where he is and are helping him. I'm telling you I bet anything. How about you. That's why I started thinking that he isn't very far away maybe after all. What direction do you think thus is from nest tree and could it still be in Southwest fla. Preferably in Tampa area. Isn't that where you are and the nest tree. OK people who else is seeing what I'm seeing. I didn't even know that their cameras reached that far and they're not saying a word about it. What say you.
Hi Carol Roman, the area the cam is zooming to is yonder pond. Yonder pond is just across the road from the nest tree to the south. This nest is in North Fort Myers; Tampa is about 125 miles north. E9 has not been sighted by any of the ground crew in the yonder pond area yesterday or any day since the last sighting May 2. E9 could be in Northern FL in the panhandle area or as far north as Chesapeake Bay. This is what FWC says about eagle migration: "Movements: Most of Florida's breeding bald eagles, especially those nesting in the extreme southern peninsula, remain in the state year-round, but most subadults, or birds not quite fully grown, and non-breeding adults migrate out of Florida (Stevenson and Anderson 1994, Curnutt 1996, Mojica 2006). Eagles migrate northward between April and August and return southward from late July through late December. Juveniles migrate northward later than older subadults (Broley 1947, Wood and Collopy 1995, Mojica 2006). Most juveniles disperse at about 128 days of age and spend their first summer as far north as Newfoundland, with peak numbers summering around Chesapeake Bay and the coastal plain of North Carolina (Broley 1947, Millsap et al. 2004, Mojica 2006). Florida's bald eagles use three migration flyways - the Atlantic coast, Appalachian Mountains, and the Mississippi River valley - with equal frequency, and they use stopover sites for resting or foraging (Mojica 2006). Eagles also exhibit nomadic wandering, mostly by subadults. Northern-breeding alascanus bald eagles winter in Florida at least occasionally (Stevenson and Anderson 1994)."

Wow! Coyotes in Florida?
We have them bad in Southern Ohio.
OMG! We're in Pa so we must have them too!
I have only seen one. But I hear the pack quite often at night.
They make a very eerie sound, very much like a siren, in fact, if a police/fire siren sounds, they answer it. When they are really close I hear the individual "yips" too.
The area I live in was at one time surrounded by heavy woods, but man has built on much of their habitat, sadly. We still have a lot of woods around us so I hear them making their rounds a lot.
Bart Madness ,yes you do ,I'm originally from outside of Pittsburgh and they were there too,I've seen them when we were hunting in early winter.
Wow, I'll be keeping an eye out when we visit our hunting lodge in Potter county this year! Thanks for the info!
I hope E9 is okay! I wonder if he's a male or female? Hope he's or she is okay
Is he gone?
missy shroyer, E9 has left the area as far as we know. E9 has not been seen since May 2 at 10:00am.
Awe No do they usually travel far? I am so sad
missy 9806, Yes, they can travel all the way to Chesapeake Bay MD if they need to.
Awe Wow Thank You
I miss E9
