Thank you so very cute to watch.
I check in on the eagle Cam several times a day and find it very interesting...these mighty and strong birds are so gentle with the little eaglet, and protective. As the baby tries to leave the bowl of the nest, a parent nudges it back for safety. The parent not on the nest usually can be seen high in a tree standing guard over the family on cam #2.

The last couple of nights it been really cold and windy.
I just looked in and it doesn't seem to be as windy and cold tonight. Last night the wind was blowing the parent's feathers up and really whipping through the nest. It is 57 degree now at 8:15 pm and last night it was 40 degrees.

Did you know it takes bald eagles 5 years to reach reproductive maturity and develope the beautiful white plumage on their heads?

Oh my, nature in the wild can be cruel in the food chain. Daddy eagle brought a live armored catfish to the nest for breakfast--usually they start at the head; however, this time they started at the tail and even after a good portion of it had been eaten, the head and upper body was still moving and the fish gasping. I don't know what an "armored" catfish is, maybe that has something to do with why they started at the tail.
Talk about fresh sushi!!!

Both live cams have been down all day...I have truly missed watching that adorable feisty chick...I think it must be male, as it seems to be displaying a male attitude...just like an ornery little boy!

Parents looking over E9 from the attic:
Edited to say that I thought this just caught the action at that time; but, I see that it is whatever is current at the time you look at it. When I posted it, both parents where on the limb directly above the nest maybe about 10 feet or so. You can even switch to the main camera overlooking the nest in the above link.

Mama brings home the bacon! It appears to be a part of a wild boar.

Was a bad storm overnight at the Eagle Nest...
By: Kanseagle (online) on Monday, January 23 2017 @ 01:20 PM EST Kanseagle Glad the storms didn't affect the nest. Was up last night watching and happened to check the weather for the Fort Myers area. Wow, tornado watches, severe thunderstorm warnings. Became a little concerned on how things may turn out. I decided to grab some video footage from the streaming nest cam. I then put together a video, complete with music to try and show what these amazing birds must endure. Hope you like it.

The eaglet will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. This is a picture of him/her today...the egg in the next is not viable and will eventually collapse on its own and become part of the nest. The eaglets grow so fast, they are an eating and growing machine. This picture shows how much the eaglet has grown in just 4 weeks--it fit inside an egg the size of the one in the picture just 28 days ago.
As you can see, the eaglet's feet are as large as its mama's feet already! BTW, an adult eagle has about 1,600 pounds per square inch (400 pounds of pressure in each talon) of pressure in the four talons on each foot for a total of 3,200 pounds of pressure combined; but, can only carry about 4 pounds while in flight.
