    So nice to hear all of the language they share, when they are protecting their nest and eggs. It makes me think it is an older juvie since it looks like you can see the white on the back of the neck in one of the shots and white on the back of the head developing, but it could also have been the light.

      @dianemcgill5569. I took a bunch of screenshots too. A couple did show a lot of white in the tail feathers, with little terminal band left. 🤷‍♀️🙂

    Such brazen conduct from the sub eaglet! I wonder if M15, recognizes it as one of his own from time past? If not, it's F23 who will rise up and get rid of the intruder!

    The merry go round of visitor eagles continues. This one was quite bold and didn’t take the hint the first time around. As usual F23 and M15 work together to flush eagle 🦅

    Ooooh what an intense video.
    That sub-adult is clearly sticking around and not taking the move on warnings seriously.
    Good that M15 & F23 protected the nest and precious eggs so well. It has been a busy week for sub-adults in this area

    M15's face while on watch duties 🤣🤣🤣. Ah, maybe the young visitor is nostalgic of nesting days... I wonder whether any fledglings from Captiva Island have visited, in the past, or fledglings from other Florida nests with cams, for that matter! 😀

      @androcat12  8 днів тому +1

      @Luceforall. M15’s face 🥰! I am sure some go back to their natal areas. If we could only know! I do the math every time, wondering IF it came from this nest, which one could it be 😊. Unlike Channel Islands, we just don’t know. Unless E8 shows up, of course. 💙

      @@androcat12 Yes, juvies are known to visit their natal area and I heard, once, that they tend to settle within a hundred miles. A most endearing instance is that of Samson in North East Florida, who took over the nest abandoned by his parents, Romeo and Juliet. We won't be sure about future generations in the CI, though - Thunder's offspring did not get banded.

    Tysvm Androcat for this dramatic video! M15 and F23 have become a formidable couple 🤗 Wonderful to see! It's normal for the female to protect, especially if it's another female, and male to male. M15 did his job brilliantly, of course he is a pro 🦅 ❤️ This partnership is absolutely beautiful 🥰 Well done F23 and M15 🦅🦅❤️❤️

As you can see here, both flushed this subadult. I am happy the flush was easy, and there was no chase. Safe travels, young eagle. 🙏🏻💙

    Notes:
    The views do not allow for proper aging of this intruder. This appears to be a subadult, not a juvie or adult, based on the limited views. There is no way to know if this is the same intruder as 11-17-24. (Links for 11-17/11-18-24: ua-cam.com/video/2cakc8Kls38/v-deo.htmlsi=O9mxU_LcBK3ruKUB ; ua-cam.com/video/6XnPU3KuSJE/v-deo.htmlsi=qeuClXBCoF-zo9dy )
    There is no way to determine if this intruder is from this nest. I am local to SWFL, and in Florida, we have 1500+ nests. That averages to 2K +/- fledglings each season, as I have posted previously. Also, this area has a dense population. Each season, we see juvenile and subadult eagles stop in here.
