E23 hatched just after sunrise on the morning of December 31, 2023. Here we see Mom looking over the brand new eaglet as it gains strength and movement. Unfortunately it looks like Egg #2 is no longer viable and will not hatch.
What a glorious day!! 😊 Welcome to the world sweet little one!! 💕 You bring such happiness to your parents and all of us!!😙 I'm sure Harriet is smiling down on this new life born in the nest she and M15 rebuilt after the hurricane!! 💞
Congratulations to M15 and F23 - how fitting that their first born together just happens to be E23!! F23 - E23! Welcome to the world wee one! I'm so sorry your sibling didn't make it - he/she sure tried hard to survive, bless them. The only good thing = no sibling rivalry this time around! That is wonderful! May this bald eagle family be blessed with a very healthy season which will see E23 grow and thrive to fledge eventually. 🥰🦅🦅🦅 ~TYVM to all involved Pritchett Family for this wonderful gift that keeps on giving! TY also for getting the pond cam working again! Happy New Year's Eve to everyone! 👋🤠👍

Looking forward to watching you grow with your wonderful parents (definitely looking forward to seeing F23 as a mother!) Congrats M15 and F23 on yalls first child together!!! Happy birthday E23!
Thanks! Thank you for all you do! This nest has brought a lot of joy to so many. Today is a bittersweet day. But I am rejoicing for our new hatchling E23…. welcome to the world. ❤
I am so happy for F&M their little E23 is surviving, but lets not forget little E24 that struggled so hard to survive, but did not make it. Its a bittersweet day 😢❤

What A Beautiful Baby Eaglet! 🐥💝 Congratulations Too M & F!They are Beautiful Parents! 🦅🦅❤️❤️ Baby E23 will be Spoiled for sure! 🥰❤️ Thank You SWFL & Pritchett’s fur all your wonderful cams, I have missed the pond cam & happy it’s back! Most of all Thank You for giving these Beautiful Eagles a Place to call Home...Its A Beautiful One! ❤️ Happy New Years & Tears fur E24! 🦅🦅🐥🐥💞🌹
Welcome to the world E23🥳🥳❤️🙏 You’re so darn adorable and I pray you continue to get stronger and I also congratulate mom and dad LF23 and M15 too. It will be so exciting to see F23 be a mommy and I feel she might be the kind of mommy who will be very protective of her baby and M15 will (as we know) will make sure his baby will be fed and safe too. This is such joy for them and all of humans too. My prayers for the baby who may have not made but I want to keep faith strong for the baby that didn’t come out as it should have possibly come out and maybe survive but if not then I’ll be happy anyway that E23 will have a definite fighting chance. Hugs love and many blessings! Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🙏🦅🦅🐣🥰🌟🥳🥳👏🏻👏🏻🤗🙏🐣❤️❌⭕️
Congratulations F23 and M15 on your first eaglet together. Its sad about the other baby but hoping this eaglet is strong. One baby will be taken care of very well and at least there will be no competition. Especially if F23 is a first time mom, it'll probably be a lot easier on her with only one eaglet to care for. Nature works in mysterious ways.
❣ Welcome to the World , a Hogmany Eaglet , how we have all been so keen to see you 🤗 Love & Congratulations to proud Parents M15 & F23 ❤ So sorry they both didn't survive, fly over rainbow baby.🙏🏻 I'm not sure if this is first or second egg laid , wishing this nest & Pritchett Real Estate best wishes for 2024 😻🏴
Welcome to the World E23.. On the last day of 2023.. We will morne the loss of egg #1 but celebrate your life.. Happy Birthday and congratulations To the best dad ever M15 and F23 ❤
Welcome E23 ❤❤ reminds me of E9. My first time watching this nest was E9 from egg to early fledge. I still have a newspaper page from Fort Myers with E9. I also painted several pictures of E9. He was also born on December 31, if I remember correctly. E9 will always be my favorite, but E23 will be a close second! Looking forward to watching E23 grow. Congratulations M15 and F23. 💖🦅🦅🥰🥰 Thank you, Pritchett family for the cams and opportunity to see mother nature up close. ❤❤❤
this is surprising, but for some reason when I saw how the current was still carrying sticks and looking after each other, for some reason I thought that the chicks would be there for the New Year, and so it turned out, just a New Year’s gift, the baby will grow up strong🎉🦅💥
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤what a great joy and happiness this brings to all of us and to M15 and F23.we want to see you grow healthy and strong so cute little one❤❤❤ Happy New Year ahead to all
It's always a sad time when an egg is not viable or a little eaglet loses its life during its journey in the nest. But, we do rejoice today on the safe arrival of this precious one to Mom & Pop and Pritchett Farm. God bless you kiddo...love, hugs & kisses to you!💓🤗😘🦅🐣🦅🙏
