NEFL Eagle Cam - Legacy and the Hawk (Legacy is fine!)

- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- NEFL Eagle Cam 05/06/2021 - Legacy has already had an owl encounter and learned from it - today Legacy found out that the neighborhood hawk also likes to remind eagles that there are other raptors in the neighborhood! No worries, Legacy is fine! It's just a fact of life that young eagles have to learn to live with. Hawks too - for an example of the smaller NEFL raptor (quite possibly the same hawk that buzzed Legacy) getting pestered by even smaller birds, see AEF's video here: • RSH GETS DIVE BOMBED B...
Thanks as always to the wonderful cam-ops!

Thank you so much for this video I miss that baby so much she was so sassy😥🦅🦅🦅
Glad you enjoyed it - Gabby and Samson certainly raised their youngster well! 🙂
I imagine that raptors lead a tough life. They all want to survive, breed and protect their species. That's why, as humans, it is SO important to do all we can to care for these beautiful creatures. I find watching these nests can be difficult, but I have learnt so much, and knowledge is power. The more we know and understand, the more we can do. Infinite "thank yous" and much love to people who love animals!!
👍🙏💞
Well said, Nicole.
Thank you for a wonderful video! Love how you put together different views and even slow motion 😊 And what lovely captioning 🥰 Thank you for your work and time!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
That was crazy, poor baby Legacy, the Hawk got your feathers all ruffled up! I'm glad to see you're OK.
Thanks for Super SLOW-MO!! Good to see the Hawk was only hit n run and didn't have the Young Eagle in its grip!!😳😳
Yes those dive-bombs are definitely designed to annoy and surprise, not to get in a real fight. :)
I miss Legacy, hope she's ok.
We'll never know of course, but if Legacy inherited even half of Samson's hunting prowess and Gabby's fierce determination, that youngster will do fine! Meanwhile it looks like Gabby is on the verge of laying her first egg of this new season - so exciting!
Awww poor baby but mama was closed always watching you😅❤️
Loved your captions, Lady Hawk. They are perfect.
I'm actually not Lady Hawk, but thank you! Glad you enjoyed them! :)
Thankyou for that info Legacy has had many encounters in the last few days ! But she gets thru with great! She’s a strong baby !❤️
Legacy is turning out to be a good student of all the lessons nature is throwing at her! :)
Territorial disputes no doubt. I'm watching some Owls at the moment on a live cam and this one Tawny Owl keeps picking on this cute little Kestrel because she is nesting in the same area. Can't these birds just learn to get along? I loved the funny comments at the end of this video :)
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes they do give each other a hard time when they are nesting, those instincts are very powerful!
Love your captions! 😊 Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I sure GLAD SHE'S OK!!
Great capture. Thank you. You can hear the hawk as it flies away.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can also hear the hawk as Legacy flies in, just before you hear Legacy's call. They share a neighborhood and they are all raising families - sometimes the hawk is like a grouchy neighbor saying "Get off my lawn!" 😄
That had to hurt! Oh well, Legacy, as they say, "birds will be birds!"
3:50. to. 4:50 Mark. She's VERY upset and has a good CRY!! Needs some Sympathy!!
Mom didn't give it so she learns it's ok to Cry and Move On!! Life is still GREAT even with occasional HIT N RUNS!! 🦅🌳
Yeah, pretty funny how she quit abruptly when mom left!
Wow; Gabby flew in to investigate less than a minute later.
She's a great mom! :)
DON’T MESS WITH LEGACY 😉😉
"Mom I just had a really bad experience! Where were you???"
Your captions are epic, lol!!!! I do the same in the comment section for SWFE and the E's 😁
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoy them! :)
That's what life is.. and Yes! Legacy is fine! 🦅❤🦅
Legacy you got this big girl ,show them who is boss
Exactly!!! 😃
❤
🙄🤭
She’s a tough gal!🙂
Thanks 🙏 God she’s ok she’s not deserve this happen to the precious legacy my prayer nothing happened to the beautiful baby eagle be safe gorgeous 🙏🦅💖
It's all a good learning experience for Legacy's future life away from nest and parents - the hawk isn't big enough to hurt her, and the practice in recovering quickly and flying away smoothly when something unexpected happens will serve her well! 🙂
So glad Legacy is ok 👌. Thank you for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@cmitchell8106 BTW Beautiful Cat.
@@karendegeyter2937 Thank you! That's Lacey. :)
@@cmitchell8106 Beautiful name
GREAT video!!👍Has if poor Legacy hasn't gone through enough..just found out she wasn't even able to keep her food down after not eating for over 2-3 days..putting up with constant twitching from all the flies..getting knocked down by an owl and NOW a dang Hawk!! And people call her spoiled!! She's anything but!! You go Legacy!! You're learning an awful LOT in such a short period of time and usually you're all alone when mishaps befall you, but these are great lessons you're learning!! Be safe and careful sweet tough Legacy!!! Love you!! 😘🙏💖💕💕
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes growing up in the wild isn't always easy - but this youngster is doing great. :)
@@cmitchell8106 loved your explanations thru your captions and arrows..let's us know what to look out for & when..also appreciated the slo-mo replay's..what great cam shots 👍💕💕
@@bettechic5052 I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Poor Legacy learned a lesson that day, but Mom moved in quickly, and sat there, just daring that hawk to try it again...
Legacy's vocalizations on the return still get to me - no physical injuries but that baby definitely wanted Mama to know what happened!
Oh yeah, she's just fine. It does my heart good 2 c her fly.
Poor baby. Owls now this Hawk. Be tough Legacy! 👍
Legacy made a great recovery when she got knocked off her branch. Within one foot of space or less, she was bringing her fall under control & flying out of the fall. Good job Legacy !
Yes I was very impressed by the same thing! :)
Well, that hawk was mean. Poor Legacy has had to grow up a lot in the past week or so. She just now sat through a pretty harsh thunderstorm and is sitting in mom’s branch trying to dry her wings. Hope Dad will treat her with a fish to make his angel feel better.
It's not really "mean" the way humans can be mean - their behaviors are adaptive in ways we can guess at (but don't always fully understand) for sharing the same nesting area. "I'm here. I may be smaller than you, but you have to respect me just the same!" It happens every year and you see it at nests all over the place, and no one ever seems to get seriously hurt.
The hawks in turn get dive-bombed by the smaller birds - in my neighborhood the smaller birds will chase the red-tailed hawks for several blocks! This morning Legacy learned to be more alert for signs that the hawk is around, an important lesson and part of growing up. And they do have to grow up fast - they'll fine-tune their skills over the next few years, but they've got to learn all the basics they need to survive that critical first year in a just few short months over the summer. 🙂
@@cmitchell8106 Beautifully worded response!
Looked to me as if Legacy enjoyed the rain - even did some windsurfing in the nest!
Sometimes I try to imagine what eagles would say if they had cameras on us.
"Look at the poor thing - at 4 months not even walking around or running or anything, still crawling on the floor! And making that awful sound half the night! Why don't they feed it when it cries like that? Can't feed by itself either. Wonder how they manage to grow up at all!"
Don’t feel too sorry for not so little Legacy. Last night after she’d eaten a squirrel Samson brought a fish to the nest that Gabby announced she would like to have. Legacy was on the nest and claimed the fish for herself. After a short skirmish Gabby went back to her perch. Legacy nearly fell asleep guarding her fish. Finally, she gave up and went up to a branch leaving fish. Gabby naturally went to take care of the leftover. A huge fight ensued with our little Legacy sticking her talons in mom’s wing while biting her on the head and forcefully pulling on Gabby’s head feathers. Ouch! Mom remained calm and continued with her meal. Legacy began chittering so Gabby fed pieces of fish to her baby in between bites. We can’t imagine disrespecting our parents like that but apparently in the eagle world it is accepted if not encouraged behavior.
She’s still poor little Legacy to me.🐥
Legacy is remarkably big, she is an absolute beautiful creature.
Wow, this is one of the best videos with captions yet. Even though you feel for Legacy, you have to admit in the end it was funny! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Great job.
Not Funny
This was worded like a story! Then Mom takes off!
Glad you enjoyed it! Legacy made a quick and nimble recovery and a smooth return flight - a very good learning experience! :)
Terrifying !!!
I almost cried
So glad Legacy is ok
Gabby took that like a champ phew !
Awwww. Mama said you're fine
Poor Legacy , he’s been having it hard lately. But he bounced back as always 👏👏👏
Great video and explanations. I did however notice an animal jaw bones with teeth me to Legacy when pouting with the head down. Lol
That's leftover from an opossum that Samson brought in earlier in the spring. Just about every season there's some kind of interesting artifact! :)
Legacy not happy with Mom…again. One day after being out there and dealing with the other tons of mishaps, trials, encounters, etc. that’s coming her way….she’s going to say oh ok, now I know why Mom wouldn’t coddle me when bad things happened to me on that nest. 🤨 Well not really she won’t, but sounds good. 😅 Hang tough little eagle, cause I believe you will be one of the 50% that’s going to survive and thrive. 😊🦅❤️
Love the commentary 😂🤣🤗👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback! 😃
Legacy come over to my house and I’ll fix you a giant fish dinner! 🐠 🐟 🎣
Thanks for the video! Hope she'll be on alert now! They had less trouble from hawk hits last year when the nest was in in sight of their nest.
I do think the owl attack scared her as she was fully tucked and still tucked when she went over backwards. Seems like the hawk chasing her twice soon after put her off leaving the nest. Think she's adjusted now though and doesn't seem afraid.
Remember this one though? "I will wait until you have your head down in that fish and then - boom!" 😃 ruclips.net/video/075IXz1Dgt0/видео.html
@@cmitchell8106 Samson was at the ready though!
OMG poor baby. Leave our Legacy alone!
Oh no, wow, that was a hard thump!!!! Poor thing!!
Boy that hawk had a chip on his shoulder.
The hawk was just having fun. Pushing someone over the edge.
Another greatvideo!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
Reminds me of having older brothers. When (auto correct errors) you least expect it they are up to pranks. Legacy is learning. Anyone catch the type of hawk?
LOL exactly!
It's a red-shouldered hawk, believed to have a nest in the neighborhood. Does this every year!
Interesting seeing her with her wings hanging down after fussing with mom....feeling a bit out of sorts that mom insists she’s fine, shake it off , you’re good!
I really thought the parents offered protection somewhere close by. Legacy is still very young and seemed to be looking after herself at times. I think mom ignores her a lot. Juliet and Romeo would not put up with the hawk. Legacy has to beg. I suppose this will help her be a strong eagle. ❤🎶🦅🎶🦅🎶🎖🦅🎶
Ikr.. not to mention the Florida nest of Harriet and M..they are rarely ever far away..and are consistently feeding their babies..Legacy has had it rough..on top of that ..no sibling to learn and be with.
@@bettechic5052
I think maybe a eaglet fares better when there is a sibling to learn with. They seem to feed information from each other. Maybe these parents are trying to teach survival but the mom completely ignored Legacy for 3 days and she was very hungry and begged every minute. I saw her throw up after she finally got something to eat from faithful Sampson. She has always been a very beautiful and special eaglet. She doesn't seem to care much about soaring and seems to like her nest. I think she got too hungry and maybe frightened when she discovered the other nest and the parents ran her away after tolerating her for a while.
@@patsyjohnson3963 Yes..I heard from another moderator like Lady Hawk..D Morningstar.. her videos are fabulous btw..you should follow her like😅LH.. anyway, she saw on the monitor that Legacy had thrown up all her food..and you could see how sick Legacy looked after she finished what little fish she did eat...feel sorry for her..know Gabby is a new mom and learning but not getting the attention Legacy needs..her cries for food to Gabby were getting weaker and weaker.. couldn't watch anymore.. just broke my heart..but she came back, that's why Lady Hawk made a comment that Legacy is still too young to leave the nest..and I thought so too..and LH is THE expert!! Take care..and I hope Legacy hangs in there and is one of the 50% that survive..!! Love our Legacy ❤️💞
@@bettechic5052
Thank you. I noted that Legacy threw up and it was deleted. If I didn't love her so much I would not watch either. I, too hope she will be a lucky survivor. I do follow Lady Hawk's videos. They are the most informative. 👍🤗
Not feeling the best about hawks especially after one swooped down at me when I saved a kitten it wanted. Very scary
Fortunately they are no more than an annoyance to the eagles - but yeah, I had one swoop down at my cat once in my back yard. Little did the hawk know that Willow outweighed it by a good 4 - 5 lb, AND was wearing a securely fitted harness and a leash - even if Willow still had her slim girlish figure it would have had to take both of us! 😄
Thank you for a wonderful video capture! I just got back from work and I'm looking at camera too right now. Legacy seems to have a lot of white feathers showing through. Wondering if there is a particular reason for this or if it's just the way she is perched and the wind pattern??
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes the wind and rain will do that - and Legacy got some back feathers mussed a bit last yesterday afternoon diving directly under Samson's talons as Samson brought dinner in. No damage, just a little "rearranging." :)
@@cmitchell8106 thank you! I'm getting an education here for sure lol. I will have to find that footage because I would love to see it. I waited so long yesterday for food to come but I must have stopped watching too soon. I appreciate your videos so much! 🦅
Raptors can't not mess with each other.
Poor Legacy and Mom just flew off and left !
Dealing with the neighboring owls and hawks pestering them is something the young eagles just have to get used to - sort of the price they pay for being the apex predators.
I think Gabby knew Legacy was uninjured and doing fine and the hawk had flown away for the time being - time to go get herself some lunch while everything is quiet! :)
That hawk looks like it went over there specifically to mess with Legacy, it looked kinda small, maybe a brave baby hawk?
That's an adult red-shouldered hawk who lives in the neighborhood, it does this every year to the eagles - and it gets buzzed in turn by smaller birds: ruclips.net/video/K4iaj6t_fGk/видео.html
Legacy was really upset
I swear those hawks n owls are annoying thankfully, Legacy is fine!!
Sounded like goshawk vocalizations.
I saw a video yesterday where she was struck by an owl while she was eating.
That was a hawk. Owls are out at night
Whew!
What a bad booger hawk, what a pest! Stay more 📢alert little girl. Stay safe.
Poor baby can't catch a break
She has had a tough week so far.
Hi, I don't know where else to ask this question, where's LGS ??? It's been 3 days :(
At 15 weeks old this is about the time that instinct and the growing-up process naturally drives them to leave home. Legacy may yet come back for a visit or two but the summer months are critical for the youngsters to learn where food is found and how to obtain it before winter sets in. The nest-tree is a great "nursery" but the food sources are elsewhere, so as much as we'd enjoy a visit that's actually a learning opportunity wasted. The young may hang out in the general nest area for a bit or travel many hundreds of miles in the learning process. Samson and Gabby will also take off soon for a sort of "vacation" (well-earned!) - last summer Samson came back in August and Gabby in early September. If Legacy IS spotted you can be sure they'll post it at the main nest-page, nefleaglecam.org 🙂
strike two twice the hawk tried to get her that hawk was going real fast i guess trying to knock her or something
I assume that is the hawk verbalizing with her?
Yes - hawks have a very distinctive call. Interesting tidbit about hawk and eagle sounds is linked here; that screaming eagle you often hear on TV (and slot machines LOL) is usually a hawk! www.treehugger.com/you-know-call-bald-eagle-you-hear-tv-thats-not-bald-eagle-4864532
Why show the arrows when it has nothing to die with the video? 🤷🏼♀️
I use the arrows to try to direct people where in the screen to look for the incoming flight, whether it's eagle or hawk or owl. I try to put them up early enough in the video to direct the eye to where the action will be, and then make it "disappear" just before the bird enters the field of view so it doesn't interfere with seeing the flight itself. Other times I use them to point out a flight across the screen where the eagle is distant enough that the viewer might miss it. It's a tip I'd picked up from other sources - I'm sorry you didn't find it helpful, but I am always open to suggestions on how to do these better and make the viewing experience more fun. 🙂
Poor Legacy. Was a hard hit😧
Was it a Tail?? Was the owl a Great Horn??
The hawk that lives in the neighborhood is a Red-shouldered Hawk and the owl is a Barred Owl. :)
Thanks for the info
🙏🙏🙏🦅💖💖💖💖
they'll probably try again
Happens all year, every year. And observed at multiple nests. Owls at night, hawks in the daytime - just the price the eagles pay for being an apex predator. :)
Poor girl , she just can not get s break
All part of growing up in the wild! :)
😯☹️🤔😂🙏🏼🦅❤️
Lmao
Please American Eagle want more private no much but do not like cameras.. litle low please
Why are you watching...?
@@dellalyn9918 To have knowlege is eagle want that or not when he tell me that he do not want that I have to say...
@@macak1860 lol, what?
looks like a young hawk trying to learn how to hunt if that was a big full grown hawk don't think eaglet be here today just saying nobody get up set
Hawk is not even half the size of an eagle. It's not going to carry an eagle off.
Poor Legacy she/he looks upset..It's part of nature dealing with other predators but it still stinks...Booooo
All good training though - acquiring and practicing the flight skills for instantly recovering and flying away safely will serve Legacy well in the future - if a branch breaks, or in a storm, as well as dealing with pesky hawks and owls! 😀
Hello, any experts among us?! Will we meet Legacy again? Think, she's outside the nest for a good week now...
Legacy flew off (beautifully) just before noon Saturday 5/22 (the one day I only had my laptop and no screen recorder 😕). It's possible there may be another visit but each eaglet behaves differently: last year Jules fledged and left the area on the same day while Romy hung around for about 3 weeks after fledging. This nest has been observed since 2008 and the last-seen age averages 15 - 18 weeks with a low of 11 weeks and a high of 20 weeks. If I had to bet I'd say Legacy is off for good, exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, meeting other fledglings and figuring out where the best "groceries" might be found, but she could come roaring back the instant after I hit "send" on this as well.😄
Samson and Gabby will get their well-deserved vacation time and if the past 2 years are any guide Samson will be back first in August to start all over again. And you never know about the future - Papa Samson returned as an adult to this nest where he was hatched in 2013, and his sibling was seen visiting the nest in 2017.

@@cmitchell8106 Hello,
thank you very much for the information. Good to know, that there may be hope to see our Legacy again. It's crazy, I fell in love with her and was surprised many times what her parents, Samson and Gabby, tought of when raising her. Quite different from so-called scientists who often reduce animals only to their instincts.
One notices, each of the bald eagles also has its own character. Clever, lovable animals, from which we humans can only learn for a better.
All the best and love furthermore!
