Given the location of the nest, here is a bit of info about eagles in Florida.
Zitat"With over 1,400 nesting pairs, Florida has one of the largest population of Bald Eagles in the United States, excluding Alaska. The nesting season extends from October 1 through May 15, with individual pairs often returning to the same nesting territory year after year."
"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes...if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life." Frank Lloyd Wright

Hiking-- Sights, sounds, smells, and feels. It opens my soul, heart and mind!
Today around 5:30 ET I watched one of the eagles eating a fish on the nest. After eating, it checked around for any crumbs that might have been missed and then flew to the limb to clean it's beak. This nest is so full of sticks and fluff and the clarity is unbelievable. I just can't wait to see what kind of zooms we'll get to see when there are eggs and babies there being fed by their parents. This is just going to be spectacular!

The camera and the camera Operator were awesome today. I felt like the paparazzi snipping and snapping away!! The moderators thought there would probably be a start to egg laying in the middle of November. I'm so anxious to see the close-ups of that too.

Me and RTD were watching at 11:30 p.m. and both adults were on the nest so I assume they were there for the night. The zoomer was there and did some good close-ups for us. The gnats are driving the eagles nuts and they were constantly shaking their heads and ruffling their feathers trying to get rid of them. Whoever is panning that cam seems to be there 24/7 which suits me just fine because it's getting closer and closer to egg time! Chico made a video last night and I got a couple of pics, too.
