Captiva Eagles ~ Lusa Saves Cal From Choking! Pulls A Piece Of Fish From Its Mouth! SLOMO!👍 1.2.24

Clive was feeding a fish to Cal and a piece of fish got caught in its mouth. Cal tries to shake its head back and forth several times trying to dislodge it but it was not working. Clive also pulled on the fish and got it somewhat out but it was still stuck. (good view of this from the side cam). Then Lusa gets up and pulls at the fish, Cal did turn away trying to dislodge it again, then Lusa came back a 2nd time and grabbed it and pulled it out! Lusa will end up eating it too! Great sibling teamwork displayed here at the Captiva nest! In regular time and slomo with zoom + side cam. 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.

Last season, Connie laid two eggs but only one hatched - CE9 (Connick). Connick began to lose flight feathers and then on April 4th 2023 fell from the nest. He was rescued by CROW & taken to Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. After months of evaluation and treatments, Connick continued to drop feathers and has been named non releasable. He will be transferred to the National Zoo early next year and live out his live as an ambassador bald eagle.

Location: The nest is located on Captiva Island off the coast of Fort Myers Florida. After Hurricane Ian destroyed the nest in 2022, Window to Wildlife built a new nest in the same tree and Connie and Clive returned to use the nest.
