As we wind down Season 11; these precious memories with M15 are few and far in between! Will be return next season with a new mate or allow an offspring to take over? Only time will tell! www.SWFLEagleCam.com
An eagle season like we've never before seen! Sadly, we lost our beloved Harriet. But M15 deserves the Eagle Father-of-the-Year award. He constantly hunted, keeping two eaglets well-fed. And Harriet's last babies, E21 and E22, survived against all odds, fending off all kind of bird attacks. The spirit of Harriet definitely lives on and these two young eagles.
This magnificent eagle Dad deserves a long peaceful summer. I’m hoping he keeps his territory and finds a lovely female to keep him company. Our dear Harriet would want him to have the best!💕🦅
Interestingly if Dad (M) finds a new mate, it will be his second. He was with Harriet for many years. He’s excellence in being a super dad is beyond the pale. He looks tired. There’s a special place in heaven for him...
Mission accomplished! I can't forget Harriet but I'm so happy for him finding a new mate ❤. Yes he looks exhausted here, and molting. Now 21st October 23 he's in very good shape ❤
Really sad to remember in recent years the last few days at the nest were quiet days with only Harriett and M looking lost, and this year it's just M.😢
How beautifully poetic if E22 has now departed. M15 lands, looks down at the nest to say "Wow, I did it! I raised 2 eaglets by myself. It's officially over." And he looks a little thin & tired....time for a vacation buddy! He is amazing.
Is M15 trying to tell us something? Almost looks like he's looking for E22. 😢 Thank you for this video! God bless you, the eagles and eagle watching family! 🙏😍💕
I wonder if he's waiting for Harriet, maybe they don't understand death or that she was even dead and waiting for her to join him on their break from raising eaglets.....so sad.
@@notfree2899 That would be so sad!😢 Actually when I scrolled back. M15 few to the nest about 9 minutes earlier, but Camera1 did not show him in the nest. I think he brought food. On Camera3, 20:36:00 in the nest then flies to the pond @20:37:53 . Then back to the nest @ 20:43:44 he's frantically looking around then @ 20:46:04 flies away...🥺 I know he's looking for E22 or his new girlfriend. 🙏💕
Dear M15 im sorry you look worn out!! You've been an amazing dad raising and fending off intruders all this time for your babies! Now its time for yourself and happy life! Find another mate and raise more babies so they can carry on your remarkable genes!!Stay well and safe! We love you!❤🦅🦅😍
I really have a great respect for this particular eagle. He has fought the odds being a single parent. I pray E21 & E22 remain strong and healthy as well as remembering everything M15 taught them. E 22 is definitely a daddy's bird.🙂.🦅🦅🦅🙏🙏🙏.
Harriett and M15 were the very first pair I had discovered last fall. Because of them, I have gone in to follow some 25 nests or so. I have learned so much from these magnificent creatures. Thank you M15, Harriett (wherever you may be), E 21 and E 22 for giving me the original gift of eagle cam watching. It’s a gift that gives forever and can be passed on.
Ahhh there's our M. He appears to still be going through some serious molting. It will pass. On Cam 3 it looks like he then flew towards the back yard and maybe have a quiet evening with his gal pal.🦅💞🦅
God bless you M15 Your the best mate & Papa ever! May God bless you with a new mate & bless you with many more offspring! It's so sad ending this season 11 without our beloved Harriet & no other could take her place! She was truly the greatest of all eagles & her spirit will live on & watch over M15 forever! May season 12 be a blessing in every way possible, with new life to carry on in their nest, she & M15 created together! Life will go on & so will the love of Harriet by all who had a chance to love her & M15. God's blessings to all!
Raising two eaglets by himself has taken its toll on mighty M. He's earned a good rest and a chance to put on some weight. I hope he finds a good mate. Any female would be lucky to have him. He's a world class eagle dad.
Hi Lady Hawk and all comments here. I felt that I needed to apologize for all I have said. I have never owned a bird but took care of one that was my sisters and it was molting that one year and he had looked about as bad as M15 does and I honestly had forgotten that this is molting season. So, I deeply apologize for thinking it wasn’t M15. I’m thrilled it was him and I took a snapshot to keep of him too even though I do have a lot of him and E22 from this year alone.🥰👍🏻❤️🦅🦅 I also have a snapshot of Harriett too and even E21 also. So, I’m set with this awesome family’spics. I’ll truly never forget them ever. God bless you all and you too Lady Hawk too. Hugs love and many blessings to you all. Sue M Florida ❤️🙏😘🥰🦅🦅🫶🏻🌟❌⭕️❌⭕️
We love you M15. Although we will miss you, it is time to go have a long summer rest. Have a vacation and come back refreshed in the fall. Hope you find a new lady friend and bring her to meet us!
This season 11 was unbelievable! Harriet & M15 rebuilding after hurricane IAN having two babies E21 E22 Harriet mom missing and our AMAZING brilliant devoted courageous DAD M15 raising them to be a legacy for his beloved Harriet and himself M15 THE PRITCHETTE FAMILY who shared swfl bald eagle family with all of us to love❤ GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU ❤ WE MISS HARRIET E21 AND E22 😢😢😢 AND HOPE PRAY M15 WILL DECIDE TO STAY❤
Does anyone know,If M15 finds a mate,will he come back to this nest? Ive have enjoyed watching this nest for 2 years and hope for more years to come. Thank you to those who make these videos possible.
Holy moly what a season. Starting off with the hurricane.. and then. . . and then. . . I could go on but I don't want to take up six or seven gigabytes.. Time to spread your wings Mr. M Nothing keeping you here. Go out in the wilderness where there aren't any poisoned rodents, GHO's, cameras and highways. Live Free. . God's favorite Raptor
❤ End of an eagle era. Sad, very sad. God Bless M15 and keep him safe. I hope he finds love again. I wish we knew what happened to dear Harriet. She must have been cheering M on from above. She was his inspiration. ❤
What a roller coaster ride it has been! And what a loyal, devoted dad M15 has been! He’s stuck by his duty to the very last! I hope he stays with us, but most of all I pray God keeps him and his eaglets safe and happy! ♥️ Y’all should do a retrospective video, a compilation of these last months with Harriet’s last babies! Thank you for sharing with us! 🦅♥️🦅
What a rollercoaster ride with Harriet and M15 this year, but they our so special to us eagle watchers! I still watch old videos of Harriet and I am so Thankful for these video's! We will never forget the impact this season had on all of us with our loss of Harriet, but M15 proved it to all of us, against the odds these Eaglets survived because of a strong(dad)M15. Thank you to Vicky and all the camera crew, all the work ladyhawk does to educate us, and others who make these videos thank you for the time you put in! My love goes on for Harriet's E21 and E22 and M15 soar the skies, I will be watching for you💖🙏🏻💖always💖💞

This is one eaglet raising I'll never forget. We all saw something extremely special when M15, against all odds raised these magnificent eaglets by himself. Truly deserving of father of the year. Harriet would have been proud. 🦅🦅🦅🦅💖
M15. What an eagle. Whatan all american eagle. When things look tough the tough get going what an all american icon M 15. You deserve a spot in american history books. Our hero.
Thank you all involved in allowing us to see these beautiful bald eagle family. So very sad our Harriet is gone. But M15 did a hell of a job with his and Harriet E21 and E22. It was easy for him without her but he had done a unbelievable job with there babies. She would be so proud out him. And again thank yall all involved so we can see them. I LOVE ME SOME SWFL EAGLES. MISS YOU ALL MY EAGLES LOVE YALL ALWAYS ❤🤍💙❤🤍💙❤🤍💙❤🤍💙
M15 visiting the nest is a powerful contemplation, and expression of all that the season has been. He has been equipped and empowered to run ahead of the chariot, and the right hand of grace has been upon him at the church pasture. I think he was probably waiting to see if E22 was going to come in for the evening. I believe E22 is still in the area and was just here the other morning. M15 has triumphed against all odds, provided, prepared and excelled in every single area as a father. He is the quintessential bald eagle super dad, and quite amazing. He has fought off GHOs, rogue, Eagles and all things to prepare E21, who is amazing and E22 is a tribute to the legacy of Harriet and M 15, a pure joy. Like E15 stay 217 days, please stay here E22, but when you do leave you’ll be leaving so much more behind that shall be here in eternity. Thank you so much Lady Hawk God bless all. Rev Nick.🙏
An awesome dad, he has done a remarkable job raising his babies. Every since Harriet went missing. Hopefully he will find a new mate. Just look at him so majestic 🦅 Thanks for sharing
My first year at this nest and the most enjoyable yet. M15 you are an amazing Dad... 2 great off spring you did it all... Can't wait to see what next year brings and thank you for all the amazing videos. Such a pleasure.
Bless his heart - well done M15! We love you! This is my confirmation each season, that our E's have dispersed, when the adults appear back at the nest tree..this season, it's just M15.😢It was time for E22 I suppose, but my heart wasn't ready! 💔 We have a few weeks left to see if we get a surprise visit, but my guess is E22 has taken flight to begin their journey. Thank you for taking the time to share this footage of M's visit. Have a great summer! -Wanda 🤗
My Love for Harriet and M15 is Endless and forever ❤❤❤❤, They are the reason I Love Bald Eagles so much!!.. My first nest and First Love ❤🦅🦅🦅🦅❤🙏 Thankyou from the Bottom of my Heart ❤❤
After being the sole parent and great provider to his and Harriet’s babies, successfully raised two wonderful juvenile eagles. This was the last of her legacy and M15 ensured he did his duty by feeding, protecting and raising his young. It makes me sad as he flew to perch upon the attic branch. I wonder now that he has time to himself, he is now feeling the loss of the love of his life. M15 was too busy to go through the grieving process of his life’s mate. It feels as though he was hoping Harriet would show up. I can’t guess as to what happened to our beautiful and diligent matriarch SWFL Eagle, but I do know she would have never abandoned her babies. I wish nothing for the best for M15 and pray that he remains safe until his return during breeding season. The next female eagle has HUGE talons to fill. There was no Eagle like Harriet. I loved her as millions around the world did also. I still mourn her.
That is awesome that dad came to the nest tonight but, I’m just wondering if this is really dad M15? The reason I ask this is because this Eagle looks very thin (sickly) also, the top of M15’s head, his feathers have some dark areas in his feathers like what I call salt and pepper feathers.😁❤️🦅🙏 Also, the face for some reason just didn’t look like M15’s to me either. Now after saying that, I really am gonna say that I’m thrilled that dad came back to the nest and I sure do hope that we do get to see him and E22 again also tomorrow. God bless dad Marvelous15 and E22 and I do hope you both are safe and resting tonight too. Hugs love and many blessings to you both and also you too Lady Hawk. Love, Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🥰🙏🦅🦅🌟👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻🥳☺️🤔❌⭕️❌⭕️
He molting which means his feathers are being replaced with gorgeous new ones. Eagles molt once a year. He will look just as gorgeous next season. I am sure he tired as well with raising protecting and feeding to eaglets! All those intruders!!!I love you M15!
@@Birdwatcher-uf7ut Great to hear from you and I do thank you for letting me know. I was just concerned and I don’t have a bird and I honestly forgot it is molting season. God bless my friend. Sue M.👍🏻🙏❤️🦅🫶🏻🌟❌⭕️
@@KiwiKiwi902 Hi there friend. I also want to thank you too for your commenting back and also reminding me that it’s molting season.🫢. I really do love sweet M15 also so very much and I also want him to come back next season too. I honestly saw him yesterday and I thought he was looking way much better then he did earlier tonight. Hope you have a blessed night and thanks again for reminding me of molting season too. Love, Sue M. Florida 🙏👍🏻🌟🫶🏻🦅❤️🥰❌⭕️
When I visit later this year, it will be so bittersweet 😢💔🙏🦅 Traveled for my birthday weekend last year, because I had a feeling. Can't exactly describe that feeling, but I felt if I wanted to see Harriet and M15, this would be the best time. Little did I know... Or maybe I did.
He does look a little haggard. I hope he gets some rest and good meals in him before he finds another mate. I wish we could tell him what a heroic feat he pulled off raising those babies on his own.
Looking a little skinny to me, Hope he's get enough to eat, Great to see him though! Kinda surprised he's by himself, Its a wonder she didn't follow him. He's been an Awesome Provider for E21 and E22! Hope E21 is safe and doing well, And M15 and E22!
I am so happy that E 22 is still around. I was sad when Ladyhawke said is this goodbye for him and then we didn’t see him for a day. I was sad I was sad. I’m glad to see he’s back. I hope he stays.
I’m going to miss Harriet and M15 relaxing and enjoying their time together at seasons end, after their babies leave the area. M15 will have nobody to perch above the nest with…I t will make me miss Harriet even more…💔
m15 was coming back to check on the fish he dropped off for E22 at 20:35. E22 never can to get it and M15 can back this morning and took the fish away at 06:40 😢
How heartbreaking it is for him now. Kids are gone and Harriet is gone. He must be lonely. Hope he finds a new mate and has many more eaglets with her.
I respect you m15 as a great and father of the month, you deserve a vacation I know your looking your son 22 but he is brave kid don’t worry he is around you will find him ,, fly happily, I love you ❤️💕😘 forever
