Happy Easter!!! *WARNING* Pretty Long post ahead.....

How many eagles do you 👀? I couldn't think of a better day to share some exciting and amazing news that even blew my mind! It just shows, just when you think you have mother nature figured out she will throw you a curve ball with a slider twist.

I first posted the sad news of Michael and Michele, suspecting them of losing their babies from the January tornados due to their un characteristic behavior they demonstrated after the storms. The behavior I witnessed was not consistant with past nesting years at the their primary nest and had me very confused as to what was going on with them.

Well, once again, M and M have defied the odds and my skepticism, of their resilience and have surprised me as they always do!

I am proud to share, that M and M have had not one, not two, but three babies this year in one of their alternate nest!!❤️🦅🦅🦅 This is why they are my favorite pair of Bald Eagles! I have been fortunate to have watched them from the very begining of their pairing in October 2018, and have continued to share with many people their adventure of life up to now.

If you've experienced them on your tour or heard me speak of them, then you know of the smile I have on my face and the warmth I have in my heart learning of this development! Sorry for the long post, but I believe M and M would want you to know they are a happy family and they have had a rare clutch of three babies that you see here with Michael spending family time learning from one of the BEST eagle daddy's there is! Fly high little ones!!🦅❤️ (side note: this is the first time I have seen or photographed three Bald Eagle siblings at once, in person)

I've waited a while to make this post only because our very loved resident Bald Eagles, Michael and Michelle have always seemed to overcome bad weather and adversities in the past. That's why they are so special to me and many that have been fortunate to observe them on their tours.

As many know, we had severe weather in January that spawned tornados, high winds and large size hale. Back in December, we observed Michele feeding atleast one chic in her nest.

As promised, I have told many that I would post and keep everyone updated on the status of the family and their developements. As many of you know mother nature can be tough and cruel sometimes.

As of this date, it does not appear that the chick or chicks made it through the storm. I am heartbroken for M and M, but I know they will overcome and get through this. The adversities they have concord together after Hurricane Michael is not short of remarkable and amazing. They continued to live their lives after such an event as if nothing ever happened and kept on keeping on as they should.🦅🦅

Both M and M are still currently flying their breeding territory, visiting their nest once in a while and roosting together in the trees adjacent to their nest. I suspect after a little time they will come to grips with this heartbreak and will continue on with their lives as they always have and be ready for this fall, to start another family once again and continue on being the great parents they are! ❤️❤️🦅🦅

Well, we have atleast one Christmas eglet!❤️🐣🦅 We observed Michelle sitting on her clutch December 24th on a midday tour. On our middainy tour yesterday the 26th, we were able to watch Michelle tearing off pieces of an unknown food source and actively feeding a suspected eglet. This was so exciting to watch! I could've sat there all day and watch her. She is the BEST momma🦅!!❤️ Off in the distance, Michael was doing what he does best, posted up in the wide open protecting his family from any intruders that dared to enter his circle!🦅💪🏾

Turn up your volume!! Michael and Michelle are letting everyone know this is their breeding territory. This is one of my favorite times of the season for viewing our resident American Bald Eagle population. It only gets better from here to fledging!🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸

Flex the Intimigator living up to his name!🐊

There's just something about the marsh!

Flex the Intimigator is an honary cuss! #gator #boggybayouairboattours #saltwatergator #saltmarsh #wildlife #visitflorida #visitpanamacitybeach #airboat #airboatrideandslide #gto #airboats #gtoairboats #oxbox #swamp

Find a quiet place and TURN UP the volume!!🦅🦅 Michael and Michelle are the best parents! In this short video, Michelle brings a snack of somesort to E8 and E9 and feeds them before bed time. They are so excited to see mom with a snack. You can hear both of them sounding off, demonstrating a very soft distinct eaglet peal screeching sound to show their appreciation for Michele's company and food dilivery! Also, if you count six trees left of the nest, you will see Michael on a roost observation limb, scanning the sky's for any potential intruder eagles during the eaglets feast! Michael is such a great dad and protector of his family!❤🦅🇺🇸

Just a leisurely stroll through the salt marsh for this young buck! 🦌
