SWFL Eagles ~ E26 Does A HIGH HOVER & LANDS ON ATTIC BRANCH 1st TIME! M15 Watches & Is PROUD 3.2.26

Описание: There is still no confirmed sightings of F23 through Monday March 2nd. F23 was last seen at 08:12AM on 2/27/26 flying off with M15 to the east. M15 continues to take care of E26 bringing in a bird & two fish today and spending a lot of time in the nest and nest tree. ♥

The video opens with M15 & E26 hanging out together on the nest. E26 can't sit still and does some flapping to the veranda - going further out on the veranda spike. E26 flaps into a high hover and lands on the attic branch for the first time! M15 was watching his eaglet make it up there and is very proud! E26 got to check out the view from the attic - the highest branch E26 has been on so far! E26 stays on attic for 18 minutes before making a perfect dismount to the nest - right in front of M15!

M15 will go to the spike and he is vocal - E26 joins in squeeing! E26 finds some nestovers to pick over. Congratulations E26 on hitting this milestone of branching to the attic!! It would be beneficial for E26 to fly to some of the other branches to continue its development & skills before fledging, Thank you for watching!

The official statement remains unchanged from SWFEC: " F23 has not been in camera view since 8:12AM, on Friday, 2/27/2026. She and M15 were flying East. We know many of you are watching closely and care deeply about her. At this time, there is no confirmed sighting of F23 in the area. We are monitoring the situation and will provide updates if and when we have verified information. We have alerted FWC and CROW, our local wildlife Rehabilitation Center. If you see an injured or dead bald eagle in your area, please contact one of these services for immediate assistance. In the meantime M15 is taking great care of their offspring E26. He is providing food and protection. Please give M15 space to deal with what he needs to do at this time."

Thank you for watching!
