SWFL Eagles 4-15-24. M15 Takes His Delivery to Yonder Pond to E23; E23 Takes a Dip.

➡️ Ground video from Monday, 4-15-24.

Video opens with M15 arriving at the nest tree with a delivery. E23 does not show up, and a Loggerhead Shrike pesters M15. The tiny Shrikes have fledglings they are feeding, and are simply protecting their family by pestering, just as the mockingbirds do. M15 takes the UFO/food and flies to Yonder Pond (YP) with it. F23 flies to Yonder Pond from the E, landing in the S pine, so I headed over. M15 and F23 were close to the water when I arrived, and F23 was in the S pine. M15 left view, and E23 stayed by the water, going in a couple of times, and took a short bath. E23 flew to the S pine, then to another pine to perch. Time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part. (Video recorded mostly into the bright morning sun at YP, always difficult recording there in the morning.)
