SWFL Eagles_ CROW Removes Precious E14 H & M Protect Their Area From Intruder 01-15-20

It is a sad day today as E14 passed away early this morning. CROW was able to come and retrieve E14's precious remains and the non-viable egg to determine the cause of death. M15 was in the nest when CROW arrived and left as the bucket was raised to the nest. M vocalized warnings and circled the nest tree before perching at a distance. As CROW and the truck were leaving, Harriet arrived to the nest tree, vocalizing at a 3-4 yr old sub adult circling the nest tree. M arrived to help Harriet secure the territory. They remained in the nest tree before Harriet dropped to the nest. Soar high and free little one. You now have your wings. You will always be part of H & M and tucked tight in our hearts. We will find strength observing Harriet, and M15 as they grieve.
