Her mate, M15, was absent from the nest on Friday night, according to the Eagle Cam admins, and will return in the morning to a happy surprise. His previous partner, Harriet, abruptly went missing from the nest in February and was never seen again, leaving him to care for the eaglets on his own.
“The odds were against this new couple, but Mother Nature and natural instinct continues to prevail,” the Eagle Cam admins wrote.
The egg is expected to hatch in about 35 days. You can check in on the eagles 24/7 on the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam.
