NEWS FROM OTHER NESTS - 2022

SWFL

H&M spent much of last night on the nest together, no egg as at 16:00 GMT.

One of my commenters alerted me to approaching hurricane or tropical storm Nicole, which was due to sweep across part of Florida including the Fort Myers area today, the tree isn't being blown about at the moment, only one eagle currently on-cam:

Don't all faint. I did a snap! H and M15 on the nest at 15.22 US time

Terrific, Korky   I thought you had captured M15 having just delivered afternoon tea, so I followed it up but it was later.

I thought I'd be clever and get a supersnap of M's fly-in but this was the only frame where nothing else was in the wsy - but Harriet was bending over:

Nest view of the descent.  Looks like butcher's leftovers!

At this mment Harriet sat on the nest (M had been there with her) - so this was laboured over to show the time she sat down to lay her first egg... but there was nothing there when she got up   

But she's still crouched over the nestcup as I type.

.

Edit - She flew @ 12:57, nothing of interest left behind.

Thanks so much, KORKY - dear Glen has been unconventional since migration time, may he be very happy in Spain until it's time to wend his way home

Update - in case anyone thinks it's not being checked:
