Love the video, Kris, especially the way M15 tiptoed into the nest to meet his new little one, and that he was allowed to take over for a short time. Thank you!

Beautiful little E10 this morning:

[MAK]

Oh, oh such a big mouth for a little eaglet! 

[AlisonL]

Beautiful parent, and sweet little E10:

[Kris G.]

Thanks for the great E10 pics, Alison!  Hoping E11 appears soon!

[AlisonL]

E11 has hatched! Welcome to the world, little one, and congratulations to Harriet and M15 on their two brand new hatchlings!

E10 was not exactly helping E11 to hatch. At one point E10 appeared to have one tiny foot on E11's head. At that moment Harriet decided it was time to feed E10, who has a good appetite.

[AlisonL]

Both E10 and E11 seemed to hatch fairly quickly.

[MAK]

Aww, they're so gosh darn cute!!

Update on Ft Myers nest after Hurricane Ian

The nest tree is still standing but unfortunately the actual nest & cameras are no longer. Waiting for the Eagles to return and hopefully rebuild. We will update everyone when we know more.
