Fledgling life

Some screenshots of the SWFL eagles from the past two weeks and today.

Siblings perching together at the pond fence. E15 on the left/closer to camera.

E16 squeeing, mom Harriet preening. The eaglets have started mostly sleeping outside the nest, with E16 staying at the nest tree's branches the most often, while E15 seems to like the camera 2 tree.

Eaglets going to the pond first thing in the morning. E15 higher, E16 lower.

E16.

E15 watches from a pylon as E16 takes a dip in the water.

Dad M with the kids. E15 closer to camera, E16 behind M.

Both fledglings at the nest tree for a change. E15 closer to camera.

E15.

E16 resting a foot. And squeeing.

Tug-of-prey from under E16's wing! A timely fish delivery soon gave both of them a meal to work on.

Such fierce featherfloofs. E15 in the middle, E16 on the right.

E15 wading in the pond.
