The eagle watch which has captivated the nation continues from the nest located in Ft. Myers.

A crack appeared in the first egg on December 26, it became a hole the next day and then at 7:33 a.m. December 29, the first eaglet, E9, broke out and made its debut.

Eagle parents Harriet and M15 have appeared at the nest simultaneously as they switch off caring and feeding E9. M15 was observed Tuesday morning bringing new straw and twigs to add to their nest.

Since its inception in September 2012, the Eagle Cam has received more than 60 million views from more than 190 different countries worldwide.

Russ Ochs, with the Audubon Society and McGough Nature Park in Largo says, once born, the eaglets will eat anything that crawls, including squirrels, small rabbits, rats, moles or mice. The parents will take turns going out and getting food for the newly-hatched eaglets. He says they will stay in the nest with their parents until they're fully grown and can fly, at about three months.
