Captiva Eagles ~ AWESOME Footage Of Dasher & Dancer Having Fun At Mud Flats! Return To Nest 3.31.25

This was a special treat to see when our cam op panned the cam to catch both Dasher & Dancer at Mud Flats exploring and having fun! Both fledglings went to the water to investigate and hang out before both flew squeeing back to the nest! I hope you enjoy the footage - I did zoom in so we could see them better! Thank you for watching!

Background: Connie has been the resident eagle since 2009 & she is believed to be at least 20 years old. Clive is the resident male & has been around since 2021. His age is unknown.

For the 2023-2024 season, Connie laid two eggs with hatched - Cal & Lusa. Cal fledged successfully but something happened to Lusa & she passed away on the nest. Cause of her death is unknown.

For the 2022-2023 season, they had one eaglet Connick. Connick began to lose his primary feathers close to the time he would have normally fledged. He fell off the nest wingercising & was rescued. His assessment revealed his feathers would not grow in properly and he became an Ambassador eagle at the Audubon Center For Birds of Prey as a permanent resident.
