M15 is Harriet’s second mate. Her first, Ozzie, died in 2015. Harriet has had nine eaglets that survived.
A pip, E10 (short for Egg number 10) became visible early Tuesday morning in the nest which sits 60 feet above the ground,
The first partial sighting was at 8:01 am and as of 2:31 pm, “E10's” egg tooth and beak could be seen poking through.
According to its YouTube channel, the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam, sponsored Dick Pritchett Real Estate, has gotten more than 115 million views and counting, since its inception in 2012.
The website hosting the livestream lists facts about the eagles and has a chat – which is often full at 500 participants.
