Gotta luv his siblings following Ahote.Never underestimate the Lil nugget...
Congratulations Ahote 💙 what a wonderful sight with his other 2 siblings watching!!❣.. May you be safe and hopefully come back and tell your siblings what fun it was!! 😊.. Thankyou Lady Hawk 😘 💖. For this update.. Who wouldn't of thought youngest first!!! 🥰❤🙏
I know this was certainly a surprise! Not an intentional fledge but he did great on the landing close by! Now to figure out how to get home!!
I love how the others watched in amazement!
ขอบคุณค่ะ
Beautiful birds. Beautiful view. Thank you 🦅🦅. I love watching them.
I love the way they just helicopter right out of there. And the looks on the other two's faces! Priceless❤️
Congrats Ahote! I bet he was relieved to land and wondering how he's going to get back at that point 😊
I think he stunned his own self. Took air and went 😍
Ahote... "I'm flying! I'm flying!"
1st Sibling... "Wow, I didn't see that one coming? Did you?" 😮
2nd Sibling... "Are you kidding? I didn't even know we could do that!"
This nest is so different than the others, in that it's not surrounded with trees. It even comes close to being surreal. Like a Si-Fi movie, set on another planet.
I know eagles love nests that are high up in tall trees or on mountains, etc., but, this nest is so "unprotected". Nothing to branch to, nothing to shield the sun, nothing to shelter from a storm. And, there's 3 of them. Every step could be a disaster, if the eaglet is not ready to take it. So, the fact that they are so strong and healthy looking is a miracle unto itself.
I picture myself being in a house in that position. Where one step outside could be a long drop down! 😱 No way!!
So, for those of us who are not fond of heights, the fact that this was a location that was actually selected by the parents to raise a family is awesome. Then, when they are all "at home", it's 'purty tight'!! But, it's working for them.
Food here is plentiful, if you like fish 🐟!
So, I guess that accounts for why they have not fought for space, etc., and, instead enjoy the closeness of their siblings and parents. It better explains the behavior of E1 against E2 at the MN location, which I watched last night and still can't get the image out of my mind. A tragedy 😢 💔 to watch, but, something that is explainable when they have very little food and are struggling to live. And, why the mom at that nest just had to accept the inevitable circumstances.
The contrast of these events is.... well, it just is....(no words!) except, to say that it's nature and it's all about staying alive.
Sorry, for the long comment. I'm still processing the scene. 😹
On a much more positive note.....
Good going, Ahote! 🥰
Now, let's see a great flight back! 😉
We are all plugging for ya!! 💕🥰🦅🤩🦅😻
That was wild!!! Glad Ahote made it to a safe spot.....the nest isn't seem the same without all three.
Accidental or not, Ahote gets the prize for fledging before his older siblings!! Now we wait for him
to hover or fly back home. I'm glad we get to watch him on the overlook cam. TY LH -Hugs 🤗
Hi Wanda -yes still watching and waiting on Ahote to get the courage to try and fly back to the nest!! He must be getting hungry by now!!!
Congrats Ahote!!!😍💖💖👏
Brave Eaglet!
Well done Ahote💖💗
Thank you so much, Lady Hawk😍😍
I l❤️ Ve All Eagles ❤️❤️❤️
Another gem of a video!
Thank you, dearly beloved Lady Hawk!
God bless you and your family abundantly always
Thank you my dear friend! God bless you too ! ♥
Enjoyed the siblings watching him when he was out of site for us. We could tell where he was by their tracking him visually. Such wonder and amazement viewing these juveniles.
It was awesome to see his siblings tracking him in unison! Watching them watching him...
Great comment, dearly beloved! God bless you and your family abundantly always
Wow, wow, so proud 👏 of our youngest boy..you are the most daring of them all!
Congrats AHOTE...do stay safe and fly high!!
We love you guys and God bless!
Thankyou Lady Hawk..,:)))
Well said...🙏🦅
Amen! God bless you abundantly always
I loved the siblings reaction to their little brother taking off on that first flight! Beautiful coverage from the Overlook cam and perfect opening/end scaps LH! Congratulations to Ahote and of course Thunder and Akecheta!🦅🦅🦅💙❤💙. Can't wait for tomorrow to see what happens!
I love the way the other two just looked up and watched. Like “WHAT??” Precious!!
Красавцы птенцы, выросли. 🐣🐤🐥
Первые птенцы у этого папы. Старый самец из гнезда куда-то делся и вскоре прилетел молодой самец. При выводе первых птенцов вороны утаскивали яйца. Бдительности не было у молодого папаши. Улетал из гнезда, а вороны тут, как тут.
They have to be brave to take that first flight. Bless Them 🦅💕💕
Yes i agree.. Very courageous and i love them so much! 🦅👍🙏
@@lukamaximilian6352 I am so glad you told me about this channel...I love the birds 🦅🪶💚
@@hellok7877 you are most welcome.. Did you check Common Buzzard..?have a nice day friend! 🦅
@@lukamaximilian6352 No yet ..I will check it out . So many birds 🐦 🦅💕
Thanks, Lady Hawk, I so enjoy your reproductions from the various bird sites. It was amazing to see how the other two eaglets looked flummoxed at the departure of their sibling.
Hello Ann and thank you so much!! It was certainly exciting seeing Ahote go up and then out of view!!
It's really sweet to watch the other two watch carefully as he takes his flight.
Wow! I love how the others watch him saying; “it’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s it’s Ahote!
🤣🤣🦅💜
😄😁😆
Lol! 😻
The other two are saying, "did you see that liftoff, that looked pretty easy." So cute!
Congratulations Ahote! Good thing he landed in a nice safe spot! 🥰
Love how his siblings watch him💜💜
Wow, the youngest first! What a cutie with his feetsies dangling! Thanks for showing us, Lady Hawk, especially the far view with him landed safely. Thanks!
What a great hovering fledge experience for Ahote! Congratulations!
Kinda looked unintended. Seemed like, woah woah WOAH!!!
When they woke up this morning I could just tell something was in the air LOL. Lots of restlessness early in the nest this morning...hovering.. Wing flapping. God bless these sweet little eagles and their mom and dad of course. 💖❤️💜💜💜
Amen, dearly beloved! God bless you abundantly always
the other 2 look up in amazement..lol
Wow! So awesome! Haha I love his siblings reactions too!! 😆🤣🥰🥰, they were like “woah!! He’s way up there all of the sudden!” And you could see their eyes simultaneously following Ahote as he moved to our right
Wow! Up up and away! I think Ahote was surprised as much as his siblings. The looks on his sibling face though😄too cute❣ Now that he's out the nest; lets see how long the wanderer stays away
00:29 That resembled a helicopter takeoff. Beautiful! Bravo, young ABE! Thank you, (as always) to our fabulous Lady Hawk who provides these exquisite moments.👏🏻👏🏻💗
Ahote, you totally upended my prediction for the first to fledge, and you were technically first to "leave" the nest, even if by accident several weeks ago! Well done, little Threesie! Keep flying!
Thank you Lady Hawk for this wonderful recap video! Those feet/talons-- up .up and away😂😍💗🦅
Looked like he was taken by surprise, wind updraft, certainly surprised the siblings
You go Ahote! You show your big sisters who the boss flying man is! Well done! I know you are enjoying the spectacular view! Thank you, Lady Hawk!
AWESOME
Up up and away we go. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Eagles can always surprise you 💞
Congratulations little one 💖
Wheeeee!! Wheeeee!! 💃 Ahote hovered beautifully and flew perfectly. 🥰🥰 Congrats on your beautiful maiden flight Ahote. 💕🦅💕 Kana'Kini and Sky must be proud of their youngest sibling. This was absolutely beautiful and wonderful! 💕💕 I'm so happy and proud of our sweet Ahote. 💕🦅💕 Thank you so much for this memorable video, Lady Hawk. 🥰🥰💕Ahote🦅👀🦅Sky🦅 Kana'Kini 💕🏞️
Wow amazing. I do t know if he intended to take flight or the wind just swept him up. But it’s wonderful and at least he is close by. 🦅😎👍💪🥰
I think it was a fludge
That was no hover, lol
I think the wind caught his wings and it was not a Fledge . He thankfully made it nearby Good landing
Hi L Mae it was an unintentional fledge. Ahote went up in a hover and then a gust of wind caught hold and he had to fly to the rock!
Oh 😲wow! Congrats Ahote! 🎉🥳👏
I'm so happy for him 💓
The other two are like what’s happening. Look at him go. I guess we’re going to be next. Congrats little one.🙏🏻🤗😘❣️
There are thinking where did he go??
Great first flight and landed safely. Best outcome for him. Thought sis would be first but just goes to show you never can tell.
🤣 the others are like “Whoa that’s a miracle!”
I believe the wind was beneath his wings and got carried away. GOOD landing though
This was awesome!
What!!! 😳Can't believe Ahote was first to fledge. It's always the quiet and reserved ones you have to watch out for. 😜 Hope he returns before leaving for good. 💞
Aww, congratulations young one! It's so fun watching the hovers and then it's a takeoff! I wonder if his sister will fledge tomorrow.
🙏🙏🙏👋👋👋
Looks like he was testing his wings before the gust of wind helped lift him up. LOL
😳
OMG 😲 😱 is he strong enough to survive out there? 😳
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💙🤗
WOW!! Looks like fun! Lady Hawk, do you know if he made it back to the nest?
No he is staying over by the overlook cam tonight!! Maybe he will make it back tomorrow morning!
Do you think he really meant to fledge??? Looks like the wind just took him and he had no choice.
No it was an unintentional fledge. He went up in a hover, caught a wind gust and had to correct and then land.
was it really a fledge ?he was hovering I guess the wind took him did he ever fly we could not see how it ended ? Can someone please tell us the whereabouts of this eaglet? thank you
These two weee like what the hell? Lol. Hope he didn’t land in the ocean.
🦜~ ⛰️🦅✨💫
Looks like another siling is CV trying bgg to take off after Ahote. Lol.
