- CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife finished a brief exam on E14 and report there was no fishing line or fish hook on E14 or in the nest. The cause of the blood loss was a broken blood pin feather as I had suspected and reported on yesterday. Also egg#2 was fertilized and was partially developed.
Thank you CROW for your excellent work and for your rapid response to the information regarding E14's cause of death.

1.15.20 ~ Update on E14 passing from CROW Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife:
"This afternoon, a CROW staff member removed the remains from the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam nest and brought them to the #CROWClinic. The unhatched egg was also removed from the nest. A radiograph was taken of the body which did not reveal any foreign objects, such as a fishing hook, in the body of E14 and the staff member that retrieved the remains did not find any fishing hooks or line in the nest. A brief examination was performed by veterinary staff in which they noted the entire left side to be covered in blood which appears to have come from a broken blood feather on the left wing. No other traumatic wounds were found to have occurred prior to the eaglet’s passing. The remains of E14 have been sent to the Southeast Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS) at the University of Georgia for further evaluation and testing, including testing for rodenticides that may have contributed to the eaglet’s death. It will take some time before we receive the results, but we will be sure to share them once they are available. For those curious about the unhatched egg, we were able to determine that it was fertilized and had developed partially, but were unable to determine why it did not hatch."
I will pray that Harriet have three eaglets next season - I will truly miss watching - I pray for Harriet, no mother want to lose a baby, lost my yorkie last Monday and the pain is horrible. Thank you for keeping us update Lady Hawk.
Thanks. Lady Hawk. Was not aware a pin feather could be so dangerous to them. Adult feathers not the same. When do they get rid of pin feathers??
Thank you so much!
@@claudiacouch7988 Hello Claudia - normally a veterinarian would pull out the damaged pin feather and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. If they are not removed, they run the risk of continuing to bleed like we saw here with E14.
Thank you once again lady hawk with this update. How do they think this happened and what is rodenticides and how might this contributed?
I've had parrots for almost 30yrs. I have pulled many blood (pin) feathers during these years. I had to pull two from the tail of one of my parrots just the other day (she's a feather biter, which is similar to nail biter in humans). The blood loss from a feather comes in the form of quick drops of blood. Best way to stop it is to pull the whole feather from its shaft (with forceps).
While reviewing E14's video from yesterday, the constant drip of blood was a typical sign of a blood feather. The feather must have broken near the shaft where the blood supply is heavier.
The SWFL Eagles have only been in my life since E9. To this day, a beautiful picture of Harriet standing proudly behind E9 is my screen saver on my two screens at my computer. The life of E9 at this nest was like an entire college course for me with regards to the Bald Eagle. I came in after the loss of Ozzie (and glad I did). Harriet and M15 showed me what GREAT eagle parents do to raise their young. E9 showed me how fast an eaglet grows and learns the tools to leave home FOREVER in just a few months. The knowledge that this nest has given me (being a bird person of many years) is priceless. I've now expanded my viewing of different nests and different types of birds that reach to other countries. Amazing what's out there and how blessed we are to be able to see it all.
My heart goes out to all that feel the loss of E14, as I. She was a strong eaglet that came out ready from day one. I loved how she would finish eating and assume her resting position and wait for Harriet to brood as if to say "come on, I'm done, I need my rest now, chop chop, let's go". We were blessed to have had her for the time we did and the stories we'll be able to tell of her.
Thank you Lady Hawk for always expanding our knowledge so generously. Your time is of true value to us and so appreciated.🙏
Thank you SWFEC and the entire Dick Pritchett Real Estate family for giving us the opportunity to view this beautiful nest and all its splendor.🙏
My condolences to Harriet and M15, for they will mourn the loss of their healthy eaglet.❤️🦅❤️🦅❤️
Fly high and free sweet E14 and thank you for the memories of you.❤️ 🦅❤️
Thank you biko for your beautiful comment and words of comfort!! E14 was a special baby and is loved and now mourned by thousands!! We will never forget these short 26 days she had with us and will hold her in remembrance always. 💕
@biko - Thanks for the info.
@Golden Runway That's definitely the best way of thinking of this tragic situation. 🙏🏻Hugs to you! 😥❤
@Biko Thanks for the information. 🙏🏻 I never knew such a thing could happen with these feathers.😥❤ It's so sad to think their will be no family for them this year , big hugs to you & Lady Hawk, everyone here that's grieving E14 🐱♏🌌🦅🏴
beautifully said i agree 100%🦅🌈🐣🦅
biko what a beautifully written comment. I as well have been watching since E9 and I have learned so much from watching this cam....I have always had a great respect of nature but watching Harriet and M15 all these years have just increased that!!!! Even though E14 was with us for only a short time she was definitely special....maturing rapidly that she/he reminded me of E9. I’m sure E14 is the greatest eagle 🦅 flying high in the in the spirit world ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much Lady Hawk. We are so appreciative of CROW and all their diligent work in examination of E14. It helps give us closure knowing what happened. It has been a sad series of events, also good to know that egg #2 was fertilized. These unfortunate events in life are hard to take, but knowing how much this eaglet was loved by us all, helps a great deal. Thank you CROW for all that you do for us. Thanks Lady Hawk, we so appreciate all that you do us as well. Rest in Peace little one! We love you!
Thank you Jeannine!! It is truly unfortunate to see E14 so full of life one day and then gone the next. Life is so precious we just don't know when our time on earth is over. CROW has done a remarkable job and I am so grateful they are closeby to help with emergencies.
@@ladyhawk Except that CROW did NOT help with THIS emergency which could have been easily helped. It seems that the eaglet didn't even have to be removed from the next and could have been treated right there if CRAW cared to do their job. All these "thank you's" to CRAW seem to be a formality, a courtesy which they do not deserve in this case at all..
@@mietti3336 I truly believe that if they came out earlier E14 could have been saved..it was a lifesaving situation..permits could have waited..💔
This is still just so utterly painful for me. For you, LH, I'm so appreciative of ALL that you do for the eagle community. I can't imagine how heartbroken you are as well. These eagles are your love, your life. And you share it all with us, your public and fellow eagle lovers. I hope you feel just a little bit of solace in that so many of us share in your grief, for it belongs to all of us. A special heartfelt note for the Pritchett family....we are so very sorry for this loss...please let us share it with you. I'm so grateful that last year, this was the nest I discovered first, and fell in love with E12 and E13. I'm grateful you allow us to view this wonderful part of nature. Sometimes nature can be cruel. But, as you share your nest into our homes, please let us also share the grief. We are all mourning together.
🦅😢😢😢
Thank you for your kind words J Ro. We are all so heartbroken over E14's sudden passing💔💔. It will take time to heal over this loss but we share in our mourning for this special eaglet.
@@ladyhawk .....Rest in peace E14. Lady Hawk, ....I am so sorry.
Great post J Ro 🙌🏻 I couldn't have said it better myself ❤ We are all mourning together. 😥
He was such a special character in such short a life.🙂 😥 I'm not specially religious , but I feel the Creator has a more pressing engagement for that precious Soul 🙏🏻❤🐱♏🌌🦅🏴
You expressed the depth and pain involved in this situation perfectly. I also appreciate Lady Hawk's efforts and how this must be impacting her. I feel so silly being heart broken over an eaglet I watch on the internet but it looks like I am not the only one. I don't even know what to say so, thank you for articulating it so well.
J Ro , well said. You have said what I also would say, so no more need be said. I have been watching this nest since 2014, We are all like family, loving the eagles is a very big part of our life. I share in your post! God bless E14, M&H, The Pritchett family, *Lady Hawk* and all fellow eagle followers & lovers. 🐣 🐥💔🙏 🦅🦅😢 Also God Bless Eggbert 🥚🙏 Special TY as always *Lady Hawk* ❤️
This was my first experience watching eagles in their natural habitat by a webcam and I was so excited to see them everyday. I live in Florida and see many eagles but this was so precious to see a family of eagles up so close. My heart broke this morning when I saw that our little one was wounded and died. E14 brought laughter and love to my heart. Thank you E14 for giving me happiness. Peace be with you all and God bless! 🔥✝️🕊
I am sorry your first experience ended in such sadness but there is indeed so much happiness that E14 gave us for 26 days!! We all mourn the loss of this little one but we can comfort one another in knowing that Harriet and M15 are healthy and hopefully we will be blessed with more babies in the future 💕💕
Thank you LadyHawk. RIP sweet E14, you will remembered always
Grief teaches me time and again that there's more room in a broken heart. I'll allways remember E14. Thank You Lady Hawk ❤️
Thank you for the update on our precious baby E14..rip you will always be remembered in our hearts love you 🙏💔😪
I am so sorry. E14 was such an amazing little eaglet. I think we are all going to miss E14. I feel so badly for the parents. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Lady Hawk for the update. A broken blood feather can be life threatening. I look forward to the final report
I so looked forward to E14's journey to an adult eagle. She was so big and strong and seemed advanced for her age.
I called her "Little Big Girl".
She will be missed forever.
Stephanie
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk. Im completely devastated over the loss of our little baby 💔😢
Thank you for the update LH! We are all heartbroken and will forever remember this precious baby eagle named E14!
Thank you lady Hawk for the update God bless you and all you do to bring us all the happenings of the SWFL Eagles and all the other nests thank you
Thank you CROW and Ladyhawk for sharing
Thank you for that update Lady Hawk our hearts are broken but glad Crow responded and gave us their update quickly. If you look at Harriet she’s in the branch with singing birds all around her 💓
❣
Having only 1 this time, my heart goes out to Harriet and M15. Such a fluke. Here one day, gone the next. But these two have a BEAUTIFUL bond, they will help each other through this time. 💖💞
Fly high E14 ✨💖✨
Oh Poor Little E14 so sorry this happened were taken to quickly you were very loved & admired Lil Angel now rest darling 🙏
My heart is broken. My family, coworkers and friends were invested in this family through my stories and my love of this nest and constant sharing. We are all very sad. If only someone could have reached the nest yesterday to save this little angel. Fly free little E14...we all love you. 💗
E-14 was bigger than I would have thought. Such a sad day.
Thank you, Lady Hawk. Appreciate you and CROW for the swift update. RIP, little E14 - you are loved by your Mom and Dad and so many others.
Thank You for all of your hard work to keep all of informed. This feathered warrior captured all of our attention and our love. My heart breaks for Harriet and M15. I know they feel the loss of their little baby
Shedding a tear for E14 in Australia. So sad.
Wow this is something very new to me. I have never heard of this blood feather thing. I have had birds but omg. I learned this here watching this poor baby eaglet pass away from bleeding to death. Very sad for me. It's a lesson to me. I'm so very sorry for this and for her parents. Mom must be traumatized some. This channel and family of eagles has really enlightened me about them. Again my deepest prayers and respect for the whole group of chatters and host of channel. As I see alot of us feeling the loss.RIP SWEET BABY!!!
Thanks for the update...my heart is just broken... I have been watching this nest since 2016. R.I.P little one, you will be greatly missed by this eagle 🦅 watcher💔💔💔💔. Thanks for everything Lady Hawk... please keep us posted.
Thank you, Lady Hawk, for the update on little E14's untimely and sad death. Poor baby, RIP E14.
I drive past the nest everyday and it really sucks now. but it's nature's laws. rip e-14.
thank you LH for this update - so sorry for Harriet & M15 who were great parents and must be feeling the loss too....
Thank you Lady Hawk. It's just so heartbreaking.
Thank you for the closure Lady Hawk
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk. I have a heavy heart. It's at least some reassurance to know what happened. May God bless everyone. I'm with you in prayer.
This is so heartbreaking. We all get so attached so soon and love these little babies so soon. Nature is cruel sometimes. Thank you Lady Hawk for all you do.
I Thank you for the update this Is so Sad 😰😰 my Heart is Broken 💔
Loved by so many feeling heavy heartfelt broken hearts. Thank you for all the updates and your incredible loving journeys Lady Hawk. A very emotional Day indeed. Hugs💕
Thank you Lady Hawk for this complete though difficult reporting. If I remember correctly a post of you months back, Harriet and M15 always had successful breeding seasons. Nature is nature, accidents happen. It is very sad especially on a year when only one of the 2 eggs hatched.
We will look forward to brighter days.
Will miss our little E 14 😭🐣💞😭💞😭😭😭, thank you for the update and information 🙏
Thank you so very much to Lady Hawk, Pritchett, CROW and all of the wonderful folks who truly take these awe-inspiring creatures under their gracious wings. We are all wiser and more appreciative for your valiant efforts. E14 will not be forgotten ~ a sad breeding season for eagle lovers...
Watching Harriet moving E14 to the side of the nest made me cry. Like she wanted a response from him/her, a movement or something. I feel so bad for H and M, as well. So sorry their baby is gone. We sure enjoyed watching him/her grow these past 24 days. Much joy this past month. And sorry the other egg never hatched. Yes, we will await new eaglets later this year! Thank you, Lady Hawk - it must be hard for you, too. We all have grown so fond of H and M and their eaglets each year. RIP E14.
💙💜🙏🦅🦅Thank you for sharing all the coverage on the passing of our sweet Angel. I know myself and many, many, others feel like we have lost a child. My condolences for mom & dad they were such great parents. The sunshine will be brighter with 2 special angles soaring above hopefully we will be blessed new babies in the future. Love you sweet little Angel. Ty Lady Hawk for sharing. 🤗😘🙏🦅🙏🦅💜💙💜💙😪😥🦅🦅💜💙
That was fast. Thank you, Lady Hawk.
Siento con mucho dolor la perdida de E14, seguí día a día desde que nació su crecimiento , y como siempre me ocurre le cogí un gran cariño. Estaba tan lleno de vida. Al pequeñín y a título personal, le puse de nombre Floki. Ahora hay un ángel más en el cielo. Descansa en paz pequeño Floki. Y un saludo muy grande Lady halcón
Oh mi querido Guti, me alegro de verte de nuevo. Me encanta el nombre de Floki que le diste a E14 y lo que dijiste sobre un ángel más en el cielo. ¡Las lágrimas vuelven a fluir por esta terrible pérdida!
So heartbreaking to watch this. I have not stopped crying since eaglet passed. I really believe eaglet could have been saved if someone would have gotten to him sooner! So sad and upsetting!
"Gotten to him earlier"? You are being unrealistic about Mother Nature and human intervention. .
I’m so sorry for this outcome. I do appreciate your dedication, videos, knowledge. RIP little one. ❤️
Ty for the update lady hawk. You mentioned yesterday he got his wing stuck in the sticks. Would this most likely have caused this? Poor little angel 👼 I will have E14 in my heart along with Cookie forever 💔💔🦅😘
It may have been the cause. Something caused the blood pin feather to become damaged. So tragic to lose E14 like this!! 💔💔
Lady Hawk can you post this with the wing if you have it available
LONG LIVE COOKIE!
My bouts of saddens and crying just won’t cease! I miss you so much E14! I can’t believe you are no longer in your nest anymore!
I was like you are after Cookies passing at Big Bear nest last year. I won't watch this year. I keep checking in as I did with this nest and baby. I know that Jackie and Shadow have 2 eggs now. I knew about this baby and the fact that 1 egg never hatched. . Having said all of this, I will watch from afar. My fragile heart cant take the grief.🙏💔💖
Thank you so much LH for the update. My heart is going to ache for awhile. I can’t imagine what Harriet or M are feeling or going through. Prayers for all.
I started watching eagles two years ago with only two nests, and in one of the nests, both babies died. Last year I was watching every nest I could find and it was painful watching as eaglets died. I had started watching eagles because bird watching was supposed to be calming, but instead, it was heartbreak after heartbreak. I don't think I can watch any more.
but you can!
the good outweighs the bad...... just like everything else in life !
I still think about our precious E14 everyday. It's been almost 2 years and my heart is still broken. I still cry. E14 was there for me through the roughest time of my life and made my rough days easier to handle. I love you E14 wherever you are.
Thank you CROW for all you do. Just wish they could've got to E-14 in time. I was watching as
E-14 passed away. So sad.
Lady Hawk thank's for this information.. I'm HeartBroken as you are but very blessed to be part of this beautiful eagle family and that includes the beginning and the end and the love involved... ❤❤
Thank-you....❤
Thanks Lady Hawk for keeping us updated about E14. It will stay with me like forever. Sweet Pea gone to rest 😞
Im still in tears this very hard for me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺rip baby
I appreciate all the work and loving care that was taking to remove baby. It's been a hard day for so many of us we know it's part of life but we fall in love with this beautiful family and know that there at lost without there precious baby. Thank you all again for every thing you all do for us and our beautiful birds we truly appreciate
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk. So incredibly tragic and I am still in tears over it. Rest in Peace beautiful E14.
Much, much appreciation, CROW, Lady Hawk for the education you have provided for we, the loving & caring followers of these special & majestic God-given creatures!
Glad it was an act of nature and not man. Our hearts hurt. Hoping M15 and Harriet heal
I have not heard of a pin feather. Even on this sad day, you have taught me something new about our beloved eagles. I will certainly miss E14. I am so sorry for your loss. It was hard for everyone watching, I can’t imagine what you were going thru, waiting. Take care Lady Hawk
Thank you so much Lady Hawk for all !
Thank you Lady Hawk foe giving us this update. So very sad,,,,
Thanks for the update Lady Hawk! RIP sweet baby eagle E14.
I have visited there because I live a few miles from the nest. It breaks my heart to see this happen. Little E14 was so full of life. Picking up things in the nest , so young full of spunk. So cute as he wobbled trying to sit up. This morning I was shocked that E14 had succumbed . It has been a happy and sad time. I cried with the passing of Ozzie. The little ones that were lost. It is a blessing and also so sad. Life has peaks and valleys. I have gotten choked up by all the passings just thinking about them , especially now when we have all lost another beautiful one. Thank you to the Pritchett family and Lady Hawk . God's speed.
I'm still in shock this happened!
Picture of E14 at the end was GUT WRENCHING 😫
Thanks Lady Hawk for the update...Thank you C.R.O.W for all you did to help with the removal and the exam of E14. 💗🦅💗
Thank you for the update on E14 Lady Hawk.
Thank you Lady Hawk for letting all of us know what (sort of) might of happened.
Thank you Lady Hawk for all you do to cover Harriet and M15. Such a heartbreaking day and i am sure its very hard for you. Many blessings to you.
You are very welcome! It is hard for all of us who watch this nest and have fallen in love with this baby!! Blessings to you too!!
@@ladyhawk I have a question. I have been watching the camera for H and M and at first we saw them but have not seen them the last couple of days. do we know where they are? are they in the nest?
@@tammieward456 M15 woke up in the nest tree this morning and flew off this morning. Harriet and M were both seen in the west pasture this morning as well. They will remain in the territory year round but not spend as much time in the nest tree as before.
@@ladyhawk ty, i see them tonight which makes me happy to finally see them. hope you are doing well.
Truly sad event..this eaglet was just ready to go out of the shell...
No words.
Thank you for this update ... give me piece of mind ... ignorant me thought the parents is going to eat E14 (which happens with wildlife)... glad to see that's not the case RIP E14
Lady Hawk thank you for the update. Glad the Eaglet and Egg were examined to help us all understand. Heartbreaking💔
Thank you Lady Hawk for keeping all of us informed and updated. E14 was still a mighty eagle. Please take the time to grieve yourself.
Thank you I need to do that. I got 2.5 hours sleep last night and today has been a blur. Take care too I know you must be grieving too!!
Well as sad as it is to learn of E14's death, but more importantly the cause; I have learned something new today.
This demonstrates how fragile is life itself...
This upset me so much today I went through a box of tissues and a pint of ice cream. I NEVER expected this to happen to such a strong spirited little Eaglet. E14 💕 Fly in Heaven as a beautiful Angel 👼
Thank you Lady Hawk and CROW for the update. You were correct about the pin feather yesterday. So the feather must have been what Harriet was trying to pull out😔 All this is so incredibly heartbreaking..I’m sure going to miss checking in on E14😢💔 Will still be checking in on H & M as long as the cam is up❤️
That is my understanding of what happened. It explained the sudden blood loss at that point. So tragic!!
Ladyhwak thank you for your very valuable reporting on the passing of E14. I rely heavily on your factual knowledge to understand this sensitive issue on a day like today. Thanks again for your special commitment to this Bald Eagle nest and this family of Harriet, M15 and little E14 and not forgetting all the prior years of your bulldog consistency of coverage. We would all miss out on your perspective. Keep up the fine work you do!
Hello Tom and thank you so much!! That means a lot to me that you rely on these presentations - I do my best to get as much accurate coverage and information out there to the public and help clear up all the speculations. We are all missing E14 so much and we all share in this great loss. Hugs@!!
My heart is broken for our sweet baby. I know your hurting sweet friend too and I am so sorry. Love you! 💜💜
I know your heart is broken in a million pieces Pam!! I wish I could make the pain go away - love and hugs my friend. We have each other and our wonderful eagle community of watchers to offer comfort during this difficult time.
You called it! You said it was a broken pin feather. So next time you see blood with no trauma you might want to call Crow if you want the bird to have a chance of life. LIFE LIVE LEARN LOVE
Thanks for all the effort you and all involved with this. It’s the first time I’ve seen eagle cam and was addicted. ❤️🥰
Thank you Lady Hawk
Thank you for the update Lady Hawk. I could not bare to watch the video of E14’s last moments but just reviewed.... so heartbreaking to watch Harriet desperately trying to help her baby. It has lifted my heart to see all the tributes to this little one with the bench overflowing with love and sympathy. If I wasn’t in upstate NY I would be personally bringing my gift.....but I’m sending much love and prayers to Harriet and M15 and the Pritchett family and everyone connected with SWFL Eagles....and especially to you Lady Hawk 😢🙏🏻🦅🌈💔 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your update. I'm crushed by the passing of E14 but knowing you were gentle with him and care enough to retrieve his body and investigate his passing makes me feel better.
Thank you for the quick update. So sad.
I won't comment further about E14s' passing because I left a comment on a video previous to this one but just wanted to thank Lady Hawk again for your outstanding contribution here on CZcams. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by me (and others I am sure). God Bless!!
Thank you so much Molliesdad Dad you are very kind!! This is truly a heartbreaking time for all us who followed E14. God bless you!!
Thank you so much for this update. ♥️♥️
Thank you CROW and University of Ga.....best vet research center and school! Thank you LadyHawk 🙏👍

I love you Baby E14. I'm so sorry.
Love watching the reports of the eagles and how they nest and take the roles of parents I learned alot thanks to lady hawk and the webcams I started a bird feeding in my backyard so much I've learned from these humble creatures they've even brought me tokens of appreciation
Thank you for update. 😊
Thank you ....thank you for the information. ..
It doesn’t seem possible E14 is gone so quickly. What a beautiful eaglet. TY Lady Hawk and To all who took care of him and let us know the cause of death. What a major adjustment for beautiful H &M, who are always such dedicated parents. Sad.🦅💕😢
Thank-you so much CROW
