ABOVE VIDEO: Welcome to the world E19 – we are all so excited to witness your hatch day! Congratulations to Harriet and M15 on their first hatch of the 2021-2022 season! 💕 Daddy M15 was on the nest during the entire hatching process today and he got to see his little one come into the world. What a special experience that must be for him!
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA – The Southwest Florida Eagle Cam (SWFEC) is pleased to announce the area’s most beloved pair of bald eagles has a new eaglet!
In addition to E19, the eaglet is expected to have a sibling by tomorrow after a ‘pip’ was discovered shortly after E19 hatched.
The two eggs were laid November 20 and November 23.
Both parents have diligently taken turns incubating the eggs; maintaining the necessary temperatures embryos need for proper development.
Harriet and M15 will continue to nurture their eggs until they feel movement and the chick scratches the surface of the egg to break out. Once the hatchling has begun to breathe, it will make soft calls that the adults can hear.
Viewers of any age can watch and track all the action on the official SWFL Eagle Cam website, the official Facebook page, Twitter feed, Instagram account, Tumblr page and YouTube channel. Teachers or groups looking to use the cam as an educational resource or class project, can contact the SWFEC at info@southwestfloridaeaglcam.com.
