OZZIE IS BACK!!
Many thanks to the ground reporters for capturing the special moments as Ozzie returned to the area this evening. What an amazing opportunity we have to witness nature in its truest form!
As our eagle family undergoes this transition, we ask for all viewers to respect the nest area.
The cams will be installed in the coming weeks and we will keep you posted as updates are available.

Posted to FB 11hrs ago Ground reports coming in that Ozzie & M15 (previously known as PB/FV) have had various altercations. It has been reported that Ozzie lost a talon but is not seriously injured. All 3 eagles are in & out of the nest area and tension is high.
I was so worried about this. Add our Eagle friends to your prayers, please.

The Southwest Florida Eagle Cam was informed this evening that an injured eagle was found in N. Fort Myers. It is currently en route to CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc. and we will await an official response from them on identification of the eagle. We are confident CROW will provide the best care possible to this injured raptor.
We know everyone is worried and concerned but to cut down on rumors and miss-information we have disabled "Visitor Posting" on our page. It will re-open in the future.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work to get all the facts together. I am so freaking upset!!! The above is what The Southwest Florida Eagle people posted on their FB page 5 hrs ago. They won't say that it is Ozzie but there are other posts that say it is. The visitors posts had pictures posted by the lady who found him and she said it was Ozzie due to the fact that he had the missing talon and leg band that crow had put on him last go round. On CROW's page there is a ton of posts saying it is Ozzie. I am so sad!!! I had not posted any reports since the last one about Ozzie and FV's altercation because neither one has been seen since. Harriet has been alone for days and not in the nest. Well, I guess we will get the official report tomorrow. I'll let you know. everyone please pray for the injured eagle who ever he is and pray for our eagle family.
Just added 6:30 am I just found this photo taken by the lady who found him. Leg band and missing talon if it's not Ozzie it's one heck of a coincidence.

I just found this posted on my news feed from one of our local stations down there....
I know it's not what you want to hear, but at least you know for sure now that it is Ozzie.

Thanks Lelee! I checked their FB page first thing when I woke up. I'm so sad. Although they didn't say it, I think Ozzie will not make it back for mating season. Harriet thought Oz was dead before and appeared to be moving on then Oz came back for one day and now he and M15 are MIA. I hope someone is looking for M15. By the way if you didn't read it, FV frequent Visitor was renamed by the Pritchett to M15 for male 2015. I guess they are trying to go along with other groups not giving human names to the Eagles. FV wasn't a human name either, but whatever. Poor Ozzie, Poor Harriet she's all alone again and poor M15 wherever he is. Official Post from SWFL Eagle Ozzie is still currently being examined by CROW hospital staff but here are a few details that we can share. He has wounds on his back and near his hip most likely received while fighting for his nest a few days ago. He has a couple broken toes that has already started to heal but this is a concern because he needs to hunt for food and defend himself. X-rays of Ozzie will be taken later this afternoon and we will post more updates as they come in. This is a link to WINK news with a more details. They are in the exam room taping an interview with the doc as Ozzie was being examined this AM. www.winknews.com/2015/09/28/ozzie-the-eagle-injured-back-at-crow/

Such very sad news. Sometimes nature seems like a cruel master. I hope the best for Harriet and that she will find a new mate to fulfill her life.

It broke my heart to learn of Ozzie's passing yesterday. Thank you for the link to this memorial, Lelee. What a nice tribute to a much loved and revered bald eagle.

Somehow, I seem to I keep losing this link in my (Participated) so I need to Post. I do love to come in here & catch up on the Pet news. Yes, I love animals, I cant afford to keep but 1. Some of my favorite quotes are:
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
“You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.” ― Paul McCartney
“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.” ― Mark Twain
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” ― Josh Billings
