Eaglets are Hatching

Just in time for Christmas, the Eagles in southwest Florida are hatching their young.  The first egg hatched on 12/19/19.  The proud parents are Harriet and M15.  Please check our the Eagle Nestcam to watch the live camera and see the tiny white puffball with a beak.

Here is a bit of information about this pair:

  • The original adult bald eagle pair, known as Ozzie and Harriet, had been coming to this nest since 2006. After Ozzie’s passing in the early fall of 2015, Harriet & M15 bonded in late fall of 2015. This is their fifth season as a mated pair at this location.
  • While spotted most months out the year in the area, they officially reside in this nest between the months of October and May.
  • The nest sits 60 feet above the ground, in a Slash Pine tree. In the Spring of 2016, the nest deteriorated and completely fell apart.
  • The nest camera faces South East.
  • The pair relocated the nest from across the street to its current location for the 2006-2007 nesting season. This nest is labeled LE026-B of the Florida State Monitoring Program. It has been monitored at this location for 8 years. (https://www.dickpritchettrealestate.com/)
