SWFL Eagle Cam 4-30-22. Another food chase in the pasture, with Harriet & E20 chasing M15!

➡️ I was without power/internet from Saturday afternoon's storms, so this video was recorded on a tablet, making the display smaller.

E20 is still busy at the pond at the video start. M15 catches a fish (?) at the pond, and Harriet flies in, likely to claim it. M15 takes off with his catch, with Harriet and E20 pursuing him. They all go to the ground at the pond. Later, all three go to the office oak. E20 and one adult are seen after that. Cam1/Cam3. Time stamps below, if interested.

Time Stamps: Provided in DVR time; actual time is on the cam clock.
Video start - Cam3. E20 is perched on a pylon and leaves, flying low over the pond with fishing practice, and lands on the leaving palm.
0:35. E20 takes off from the leaning palm, flies S, then W, leaving cam view on the right side.
1:09. E20 leaves the pond oak and flies to the leaning palm.
1:31. An Anhinga is on the N side bank, working a fish off their daggerlike bill to flip it up to swallow. The fish drops to the water and the Anhinga quickly recovers it. E20 is already on the way from the leaning palm. The Anhinga dives into the water with their fish, just as E20 approaches with their feet down, trying to score the fish! The Anhinga dives underwater, and E20 lands on the N bank. E20 moves up to a pylon.
2:26. E20 is watching something, vocalizes, takes flight, swoops the Anhinga with a fish in the pond, then lands on the leaning palm.
3:01. E20 takes flight, leaving cam view to the right, then comes back into view, flying in to the office oak.
3:28. Anhinga on the rocks at the water's edge.
3:55. M15 flies out of the pond oak and drops to the water on the E side of the pond. It appears he caught a fish!
4:33. Harriet first comes into view in the top right corner, heading to the pond. Wherever she was, she saw M15 catch the fish (or whatever the prey is). Harriet can be tracked to the pond, and she is making good time lol.
4:50. Harriet drops in to the pond from the top right corner, intent on claiming the fish. M15 takes off with the fish, and Harriet gives chase.
5:04. Here comes E20 from the pond oak direction! E20 is now in the chase also! The three of them circle the front pasture, and head back toward the pond.
5:20. M15 crosses the sandy bank first on the right side, going low as if to land. Right behind him is Harriet and E20.
5:33. Cam1 view. M15 lands in the pond water at 5:37 on the right side of the pond.
6:19. Harriet comes into view in the top left corner, flying in to perhaps claim the catch.
6:30. M15 takes off up the bank with Harriet following.
6:44. M15 comes into view center screen, carrying the catch, with Harriet and E20 chasing.
6:51. M15 has made a loop, heading back to the pond. Harriet is following, and E20 is in view. E20 makes a high U-turn just left of the pasture snag to continue in the chase.
7:01. All three go to the ground on the left side, under the palm trees, where we have previously seen deliveries. You may need a magnifier or big screen; I use both. ????
7:26. Cam3. First adult flies up to the office oak.
7:33. Second adult flies up to the office oak.
7:38. Here comes E20! The Anhinga, after having the adults fly over them, sees E20 coming and dives into the water lol. E20 appears to go into the pond oak also.
7:43. The Anhinga is now back on the pylon. One of the adults leaves the pond oak and swoops the Anhinga, who goes back into the water. The adult lands on the SE side of the pond for sips, then leaves at 8:59.
9:53. E20 to a pylon, then the lawn, and back to a pylon at 12:31.
12:50. Closer look at E20. It appears to me they may have just ate.
(**ID of M15 and Harriet for the fishing/chase is based on behavior and size.)
