My Season 13 Playlist on my channel includes ground videos from my summer visits to the nest pasture. There are also four ground videos from early summer (after the cams went off for Season 12), in my Season 12 Playlist. Here are the playlist links, if interested:
Season 13:    • SWFL Eagles Season 13  
Season 12:    • SWFEC Season 12 2023/2024  

Video opens with CamOps finding one of the adults in the office oak eating. The adult is being pestered by a small bird. The focus is not great in this distant view (from Cam1), so I am not sure if this is M15 or F23. It appears in the view starting at 00:14 this may be M15, with his "white shoulders" visible. The fish falls (slomo, to the left of caption at 01:11), and the adult drops to the ground forty seconds later. When the cam is reset, F23 is eating on the lawn, with M15 close to her. M15 watches over as F23 eats. She moves the fish around throughout the video, and this appears to be an armored catfish. The resident Muscovy ducks are also on the lawn, and two are engaged in courting behavior.

M15 moves in closer for bites, and finds a piece that has detached from what F23 has. He continues to watch over after finishing his piece. F23 leaves can view when she is done eating, and M15 eats from the leftovers. He leaves cam view when done. Several minutes later, F23 arrives on the nest. She looks around, possibly waiting for M15. He does not show up, and F23 moves to the attic before leaving to roost. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
