SWFL Eagles ~ M15 Puts A Stick On F23's Back! She Flies Off & M15 Has Evening Egg Duty 😊 11.26.24

I want to wish you & yours a Happy Thanksgiving Day! Be safe and have a wonderful time! ♥

The video opens with F23 in the treetop and she flies to the pond to take some sips & do a foot soak.😊 She will then fly across the pond in a beautiful flight heading to the office oak. From there she will grab a string of moss on the fly and carry it back to the nest. M15 will get up and head to the U branch to preen and F23 takes over incubation duties.

M15 will fly off the U branch and return with a stick and lands right on F23. M15 adjusts the stick so it is right between her wing feathers. F23 gets up and flies to the church snag to preen and M15 settles down on the eggs. F23 flies off way past the church till out of view - looks like she went to her old roosting spot. M15 gets the first night shift for incubation duties, M15 does not mind these absences - he loves to incubate his eggs.

F23 will return just before 11pm - five hours later! She lands on the attic and M15 is vocal. F23 drops to the nest and M15 gets up and heads to the attic where he will remain for the rest of the night. F23 took over incubation duties. Thank you for watching!
