Pursuant to state and federal law it is illegal to "take, feed, disturb, possess, sell, purchase or barter, or attempt to engage in any such conduct, any bald eagle or parts thereof, or their nests or eggs. All violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

If you are viewing at night, please note Cam 1 is equipped with night vision or infrared light (IR). The glow you are seeing on the camera is invisible to the naked eye. The eagles do not see any light and remain undisturbed.

SWFEC has worked with wildlife officials and local biologists to insure the eagle's safety and will not interfere or intervene with any natural events in the nest. The stream shows Mother Nature in its true form and some content may not be suitable for all audiences.

The 2018-2019 season is the seventh season Dick Pritchett Real Estate has provided the live look into this Southwest Florida nest. This season we will again catch all the action using FOUR cameras that film the birds 24/7 and stream live video directly to this site.

Camera #1 is positioned six feet above the nesting tree and is equipped with night vision or infrared light, which emits no actual light. Nor does it make any noise. The birds do not see or hear anything coming from the camera. Camera #2 is located approximately 60 feet from the nest and has the ability to capture images of the nest action outside the view of Camera #1. (See diagram right for picture of cam locations) Both cameras are environmentally friendly, non-intrusive and positioned to offer the best view of the nest and birds while preserving the pristine beauty of the nest and their surroundings.

Cam #3 is installed closer to the north of the pond, to capture activity happening around the pasture and in the pond area.

Cam 360 (Cam #4) is located in the nest tree and the first ever live camera in history to capture a 360 degree look into a bald eagle's daily activity. This cam allows you to click and drag to any viewing area for a fully immersive experience. See the details & directions for optimial viewing here.

The original adult bald eagles pair, known as Ozzie and Harriet, had been coming to this nest since 2006. After Ozzie's passing in the early fall of 2015, Harriet & M15 bonded in late fall of 2015. This is their fourth season as a mated pair at this location.

While spotted most months out the year in the area, they officially reside in this nest between the months of October and May.

The nest sits 60 feet above the ground, in a Slash Pine tree. In the Spring of 2016, the nest detrioriated and completely fell apart. This season, if they re-build, will be a brand new nest for this couple.

The nest camera faces South East.

The pair relocated the nest from across the street to its current location for the 2006-2007 nesting season. This nest is labeled LE026-B of the Florida State Monitoring Program. It has been monitored at this location for 8 years.

2017 - 2018 Season was the third year as a mated pair for Harriet and M15. Both Eagles returned to the area in mid-August, working together to build up the nest before eggs were laid. Egg #1 was laid, November 19. Egg #2 was laid November 22th. Both eggs successfully hatched, E10 (egg #1) hatching Dec 26, 2017 and E11 (egg #2) hatching Dec. 27, just 19 hours apart. With just hours and not days between hatching, the siblings had a close bond and developed at a similar pace. Never far apart; they spent hours learning to hunt, fight and survive in the wild. At 78 days old, E10 fledged the nest March 14, 2018; E11 fledged March 16, 2018 (79 days old). They left the area for good in May.

2016 - 2017 Season marked the second season Harriet and her new mate M15 mated as a pair. The season started with much anticipation if the eagles would return as the nest had been completely lost after the end of the last season. Luckily, Harriet & M returned to the area and got to work in September and the nest was in great shape for the laying of their two eggs in November. (Egg #1 - November 22, 5:03PM/ Egg# 2 - November 25th, 6:13PM). Unfortunately Egg #1 was not viable and did not hatch. Egg #2/E9 hatched December 31st at 7:33AM. Being the only eaglet in the nest, E9 thrived and grew on schedule. Even setting a record for the earliest fledge when accidentally fledging on March 14th at 7:22. Making a triumphant return to the nest after its accidental fledge, E9 learned all the fundamentals of survival from Harriet & M and was last seen in the nest area on May 2.

2015 - 2016 Season was a season of many firsts for Harriet & her new mate M15 (short for Male 2015). After Ozzie's passing, Harriet spent a few weeks courting possible new mates but eventually bonded (or mated) with M15, laying two eggs. (1st egg: December 19 at 4:25pm; 2nd egg: December 22 at 5:40pm). Both successfully hatched eaglets (E7 hatched January 26 at 7:23am (day 38); E8 hatched January 27 at 10:39pm (day 36)) and spending the first few weeks of life developing on schedule.

On Feb. 9, E8 had to be cut free from the nest after getting monofilament fishing line wrapped around its leg and foot cutting off circulation and causing swelling. E8 was taken to the CROW clinic for treatment and released back to the nest 3 days later. The young eaglets continued to thrive and develop into juvenile eagles, fledging the nest on April 16th (E7) and May 3th (E8).

But as the nest started to deteriorate, the eagles were attacked by an owl on May 7. E7 returned the next day, E8 did not & feared dead. On May 13th, volunteers found E8 alive in a nearby neighborhood with a broken leg. E8 was again admitted to CROW for rehabilitation and recovery. After nearly 3 months at CROW, E8 was released back into the wild on August 18th.

2014-2015 Nesting Season marked the third year the nest was streamed live to the world, this time with two high definition cameras. Ozzie and Harriett returned to the nest in October and laid two eggs in November.
The first egg (E5) was laid November 19 and hatched (37 days) Dec. 26. The 2nd egg (E6) was laid November 22 and hatched (35 days) Dec. 27 . E5 passed away Jan. 20 at 10:15 to unknown causes.

E6 successfully developed and fledged the nest on Mar. 23, 2015. E6 was last seen May 4 before leaving the area for good.

On March 17, 2015, Ozzie was found by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officials and taken to the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc. (CROW) for evaluation after showing signs of disorientation and injury. After 97 days of care to recover from a broken left clavicle and a broken left coracoid bone, Ozzie was released back into the wild near the nest.

On Saturday, September 19th, Ozzie made an appearance at the nest. On September 27th, after seen fighting with a male eagle in the area, Ozzie was found injured and again admitted back into CROW's care. On Tuesday, September 29th, Ozzie passed away.

2013-2014 Nesting Season brought many challenges to both the viewers and eagles. Ozzie & Harriett returned to the nest in October and laid two eggs in November.
The 1st egg (E3) was laid November 17 at 4.37pm and hatched (36 days) Dec. 23 at 11.46pm. The 2nd egg (E4) was laid November 20 at 6:18PM and hatched (35 days) Dec. 25 at 10:21am. E3 passed away Feb. 2 at 4:53am at 41 days old to unknown causes. E4 fledged the nest on April 4, 2014 at 8.27am.

2012-2013 Nesting Season marked the first year the nest was streamed live to the world. Over 16 million viewers tuned in to watch Adult Eagles Harriet and Ozzie raise their 2 eaglets from birth to fledge.
The 1st egg (E1/Hope) was laid on November 26 at 1:47 pm., hatched January 1, 2013 at 10:44 p.m. and fledged the nest on March 25 at 7:51 a.m. The 2nd egg (E2/Honor) was laid on November 29 at 6:38 pm., hatched January 3, 2013 at 9:49.p.m. and fledged the nest on March 25 at 8:23 a.m.

Please remember the closer you are to the nest, the less you can see. The best viewing location is from your desktop at home. Visits to the nest are closely monitored. If you can see the nest please remember you are being watched and recorded, even at night. We are a working office and your compliance with the eagle watching etiquette is most appreciated.
