That Owl Again!
November 29, 2022
I wish something could stop that owl from attacking, altho it COULD do HARM, so is it playing?

OWL STRIKE ON HARRIET!
Knocks Her Off Attic and into nest.
She returns to attic and they vocalize - likely cussing the owl

SWFL Eagles ~ Harriet LAYS FIRST EGG Of The 2022/2023 Season! Congratulations! 🐣 11.29.22https://youtu.be/5JTzhsudGxM via ladyhawk

Harriet went into labor early in the evening and she quickly laid her first egg! The official time has not been given but her last push was at 18:09:40 and the egg was visible shortly thereafter. We get to see the egg briefly three times before Harriet will begin incubation. M15 was on the attic during her labor and delivery and has not seen the egg.

They have worked hard at rebuilding their nest from scratch after Hurricane Ian destroyed it and now they are starting a new family in this freshly built nest made with love ♥

Congratulations Harriet and M15 and to the entire SWFEC team and all the viewers on this egg-citing day! Thank you for watching!

FIRST EGG
November 30, 2022
Well Harriet kept us waiting longer than I thot.  For a couple days she's been restless so I knew there'd be an egg.  And Lori posted it first!  Thanks girl.

SWFL Eagles ~ Precious Cargo On Board! Beautiful Views Of Harriet & M15's Eggs! 💕 💞 💕 12.3.22https://youtu.be/PiZ8rs6mIwk via ladyhawk
M15 gets up from his incubation duties to take a break and we have a great zoom on the eggs! Such a beautiful sight to behold - they are perfect! Harriet and M15 will incubate them for the next 35-39 days until hatching!
Harriet returns to the nest, rolls the eggs and resumes incubation.

From this morning...M15 trying to get comfortable with 2 eggs now

SWFL Eagles ~ M15 Sees Both Eggs For The First Time! M Incubates & Rolls The Eggs! 💕 12.3.22https://youtu.be/iUuMOz3A9fAvia ladyhawk
Harriet incubated the eggs overnight and she gets up in the morning to take a break and fly to the attic. She greets M15 with Good Morning vocals ♫ ♥ M15 looks down at the nest and he now sees there are not one but TWO eggs! The waiting is over for him and he drops to the nest to see the new egg #2 that Harriet laid last evening. ♥ M fluffs the nesting material around the eggs and then settles down to incubate them. He will during his time on the eggs, get up frequently to roll them as you will see M do this four times!

You may have noticed that Harriet & M have not been on the eggs all the time prior to egg #2 being laid. This is called delayed incubation and eagles do this to in order for the eggs to hatch closer together. Delayed incubation slows down the growth of the embryo. Harriet has consistently laid two eggs each season so now that the second egg is laid, full incubation will ensue which will allow for the eggs to hatch closer together & reduce sibling rivalry.

In addition to incubating, the eagles also need to turn the eggs about once an hour to ensure that the eggs are evenly heated and that the embryos don't stick to the insides of the shells. When turning the eggs, the eagles often balled up their talons to prevent their sharp claws from puncturing the eggs. Harriet & M15 are pros at incubation and rolling their eggs to ensure a successful hatch! Thank you for watching!

SWFL Eagles ~ WE HAVE A PIP!! Hatch Is In Progress! 😊 💕 1.3.23
https://youtu.be/eePOrGV0kFs via LADYHAWK

Early this morning on January 3rd 2023 at 08:02:20am, the first pip was seen  when M15 got up to reposition himself on the eggs! Pip pip hooray! This is the the first official view of the pip - it actually occurred earlier, but we have no way of knowing of the actual time it broke through the shell. Hatch time will be when the chick is "out" of the shell. Congratulations to Harriet and M15 and to all the viewers on this very exciting day as we wait to welcome E21 into the world! Thank you for watching!
