SWFL Eagles 12-17-24. M15 Broods Both E's for the 1st Time; F23 Delivers a Special Order 🐟 for E24!

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 F23 brooding. M15 arrives on the treetop branch. F23 leaves the nest and flies to the CSS (church side snag). M15 drops to the nest. There is no food on the nest, except for the bone that F23 apparently picked clean at the earlier feedings. M15 pulls the bone, and it does not appear he was able to get anything else off it. M15 broods E24 and E25 together for the first time.

M15 moves to the attic, and F23 flies in shortly after that with a fish delivery. The E's were resting, and E25 was using the egg shell for a pillow. E24 ordered this fish after having to eat meat scrapings off the bone earlier 😉! E25 was not yet ready to get bites (got some bites later, and will be better prepared for bites on Wednesday). F23 feeds E24, then broods. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.
