SWFL Eagles 12-27-25. M15 CATCHES A FISH at the POND, + Delivers 2 More! Tandem Feeding! 🦅🐟

Video opens with F23 feeding E26. M15 arrives with his first of two loads of nest material. Next, M15 is on the inner limb. He flies to the pond and catches a fish. We know he is an accomplished fisher eagle, and it's cool to see it caught on the cam! The catch is shown in Slo-mo + Zoom, then in normal time/no Zoom. M15 takes his fish to the office oak, eats the head, then delivers it to the nest.

Later, M15 again flies to the pond, this time from the outer branch. He leaves view with landing gear down, then drops down out of the office oak less than a minute later. Several minutes later, he flies from the office area to the nest with Fish #2. F23 takes the fish, and M15 leaves the nest. He drops back to the nest and moves to the fish, likely wanting to feed/tandem feed. F23 warns him to stay away from the fish, and M15 heeds the warning, leaving the nest.

M15 returns later with Fish #3, flying in from the E. He leaves the headless fish on the nest. He returns a short time later with nest material, almost landing on E26's head. F23 has prey to conduct a feeding, and offers bites to E26. M15 moves to the opposite side of then nest to Fish #2, and starts passing bites to F23 to feed E26. Another day, another Tandem Feeding! Both feed E26 bites. After the feeding, M15 leaves the nest, and F23 cares for E26 & egg #2. Video has captions, and there is additonal info in the time stamps below.
