In this video, E21 takes off from the nest tree and tries to snap off a pine stick on the fly (just like Mama Harriet). E21 flew NW towards the west pasture and a few minutes later returned to the nest tree. This beautiful juvenile came in hot, it was so windy that as E21 was "putting down his/her landing gear" a gust of wind forced the youngster to change course and loop around one more time, this time though, landing was a success! Just a quick observation.... at around minute 2:09 and 2:44 you can see that the last four secondary inner flight feathers have white markings on each wing. All the outer primary flight feathers on both wings are already dark in color. A few minutes after 1:00 PM, E21 takes off and flies west northwest. This was the last video of E21 in the area as he/she flies off to the next adventure. At the time this video was uploaded, E21 has not been seen by the camera operators, visitors, or photographers since departing on 4/29/2023. Is my personal opinion, that E21 may return to the nest area in the next couple days. Of course, as we all know, E21 is on his/her own eagle time. Please take my personal opinions with a grain of salt. This video was recorded on Saturday, April 29 of 2023. At the time this footage was recorded, E21 was 115 days old and E22 was 112 days old. This is a public video. You may share it at your discretion. This footage is part of a series that was recorded after Hurricane Ian destroyed the main nest and Harriet's disappearance.
