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 M15 arriving first with a stick, followed by F23 who brings herself. They work in the nest together, aerating and moving nest material. Together, they brought in five sticks for the nest. M15 flies behind the church, lands on a tree, pulls a stick off the tree, and brings it to the nest. He also got a snap from a tree by the pasture pond, briefly hanging upside down. There were some beautiful closeup views on this morning, plus the second mating we have seen in cam view. The closeups and mating were covered on a separate video: Link:    • SWFL Eagles 10524.  Hanky Panky Per...   .


M15 and F23 leave cam view for the morning, and M15 returns in the afternoon with his fourth stick delivery. He perches on the attic after placing it. M15 leaves the attic, F23 arrives, and M15 drops to the nest. F23 joins him for a little nest work. Both move to the attic to perch. CamOps provides closeup views of M15's foot (foottoestalons). F23 and M15 vocalize, and F23 leaves the nest. CamOps finds her on a S pine (out of focus). Back to M15 on the attic for closeup views. A starling perches near M15, CamOps does a closeup view, and the starling casts a pellet. We get another closeup view of M15 before he leaves, heading NW. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
