Thank you, Farmer Derek, for another live cam!
➡️ Watch here: kzread.info7gIwQwxf...
Live chat with moderators Marilyn, Kathy, Tracy, & Nina!
➡️ This is the full version of the "shorts" clip I published last night.
Video opens with vocals from Cheyenne, who then arrives on the nest. Wichita arrives shortly after, out of view, on the right side roost branch. Cheyenne does a booty scoot, then Wichita comes to the nest. Cheyenne does another booty scoot, and Wichita does some high hops, startling Cheyenne. Cheyenne kicks Wichita, and the scuffle is on. Ellie arrives, and Wichita flies out.
Ellie goes to the nest, and Cheyenne immediately starts biting at her feet. This happens several times, plus Cheyenne grabs Mom's foot, and nips at Mom's head. Mom nips back, with slo-mo replay of the interaction. Cheyenne wants food, and does not want Mom on the nest. Eventually Cheyenne leaves, Ellie aerates, then also leaves the nest. Additional info in the time stamps below, if interested. Click on any time stamp to advance to that part.

Ellie is a sweetheart 💕
Bless their hearts, growing up is hard🥹. Once you leave the nest, there’s no going back to the way things were…. Ellie is the best, and they just don’t realize how lucky they were and are. She stuck it out and took it. To be able to get in the psyche of an eagle would be my dream. Thank you, Androcat and Farmer Derek. Ellie/Harvey and kids of 2024 will always have a special place in my ❤️

@suzancecil2239. YW 🙂. Ellie was like yeah kid, I’ve seen this all before. I need to aerate. If we were to be able to get in their psyche, we would surely find out how wrong we were about everything 😉😂.
Ellie, well done!!! I believe that she is teaching her kids to defend their territory against intruders
WOW! Ellie is very easy going. Thank you.

Momma kept her cool and toughed it out cuz that’s what momma’s do !!!! Time to teach the little ones to hunt 😎
Wow! Cheyenne is fierce! I've never seen an eglet do that to a parent, I guess because the parent usually checks out and let the eglet have its moments...that was intense. I can't believe Ellie didn't come out of this bleeding 😳...thanks for the video Androcat!

Lots of action that’s for sure! The dynamics have certainly changed between Wichita and Cheyenne. Survival of the fittest is surely “kicking” in. lol Cheyenne was very hungry. What surprised me most from all the chaos was Ellie’s reaction. She could have been a great deal more aggressive with Cheyenne but she wasn’t. So delighted to finally see Wichita at the nest. Maybe we’ll see more of them; as long as Mom and Dad just drop the food and go! Tyvm Androcat 💜🦅💜

Thank you for showing this. These are two of my favorite eaglets, fledglings, juveniles. They gave me so many great views of wingers and fantastic hovering. I laugh every time that I recall seeing only their feet on my computer screen as they lifted themselves out of sight.

Faxinating. Hi there, and thank you! Our little Cheyenne is big and fierce now 😬. Hope you are having a nice summer! 🌞💕
Pulling on mommas leg! That’s dangerous 😂
Cheyenne was like how dare you come to the nest with no food. Ellie was like yeah this is my nest so kept coming back she had business to take care of and no hangry eaglet was gonna stop her. Just love this nest, my second favorite. Thank you Androcat for video of the action and thank you Farmer Derek. BTW your credits in description are for the SWFL nest. It happens when putting videos out especially at night .😉

It probably happens more at night, when I cut and paste credits, because I am so tired from getting up early🙃. Please always let me know when you see errors, so I can fix them. 🩷

@CharlesNike. There are lots of eagle cams to watch. This is the Kansas Bald Eagle cam: kzread.info7gIwQwxfGPg?si=zWuzaLRq_bhvZRm1 . Farmer Derek in Kansas has a number of live cams on his channel. I watch from S FL. 🦅🦅
She demands food from mom. I worried about mother's paws. The baby is very hungry but she can't hunting. I hope that mom brought food for her. Thanks for your video. ❤

@michellethrockmorton7233. YW 🙂. Yes, the behavior of biting the adult’s feet, looking for food, is normal. That starts in the nest about the same time as mantling food. The juvies get more aggressive over/with food as they get older, a behavior that is survival instinct. They will fight for food and survival for the rest of their lives. Now that they have fledged, they can grab the food and go, and hopefully eat away from other birds trying to take it. Ellie knows the behavior of her offspring, and when to get away from them. At this point in the juvies lives, the adults equal food, then they want the adults to get away so the food doesn’t get stolen. Cheyenne’s behavior indicated he/she wanted food, and the adult off the nest. Hope that helps. 💙

@michellethrockmorton7233. Yes, it sure did. I sometimes include the orioles and flycatchers in the videos. I included that segment, then forgot to add it to the time stamps (thank you). Orioles will pester eagles, as many small birds do, just trying to protect their own little families. 💜 Link: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Baltimore_Oriole/overview
Gosh I wonder if Cheyenne is super hungry because they don't usually act THAT crazy!

@itsmegoomy2364. I think it was likely a combination of Cheyenne wanted food (they always want food), did not want Mom on the nest, and Cheyenne has had the nest to his/herself on visits post fledge. The adults have been such great providers all season, so I doubt that has changed. 🩷

@pesyira. A booty scoot could be a scratching movement, a dry or wet bath simulation (if raining), or could be parasites. Eagles/eaglets do get parasites, especially eaglets in the nest. External parasites can be minimized post fledge with preening/bathing/sunning in heraldic pose. My understanding of internal parasites is many die off after completing the stage of their life cycle in the host bird. I am not an expert on the topic, just what I try to understand through reading and asking those who know more than I do. 🩷
