The famous offspring of M15 and F23 can be seen flying regularly near the nest tree at Dick Pritchett Realty and beyond in North Fort Myers.

The juvenile eagle still has a ways ago before it sets out on its own.
M15 and F23 still bring in meals for the 3-month old raptor.
Visitors still can hear calling when E23 hungry, but it is learning quickly.
On a recent visit to the nest, a photographer documented its flight from nest to trees near the pond and quick visit to the fence line among other tree branches near the nest tree.
The young raptor is also getting its fair share of hassles from other smaller birds. A loggerhead shrike incessantly dive bombed the exasperated bird for several minutes. The young bird didn’t know where it was coming from as it looked for another pelting.
Viewers can see the antics of the family on the SWFL Eagle Cam live feed 24/7.
