SWFL Eagles ~ M15 TEACHES E26 LIFE LESSONS ON PROTECTING FOOD FROM BEING STOLEN BY INTRUDER! 3.28.26

This morning M15 delivered a fish to E26 on the ground at the pond! E26 took its time eating the fish - carrying it around. The intruder came close to E26 - but M15 was there to be a barrier between her and E26 - standing in the middle between them. E26 left the fish alone - prime opportunity for the intruder to steal it. M15 decided to give some life lessons to E26 on protecting your food by taking it away from E26 and bringing it back . E26 lunges at M15 several times showing good aggressive behavior! M15 flies with the fish to the East pond oak overhang tree but brings it back to the ground - E26 mantles and claims it. The intruder did not attempt to steal the fish today. E26 eats its fish and M15 stands guard and watch over E26 the entire time E26 was eating. The intruder finally flies off East but M15 continued to perch in the overhang tree to watch over E26. What a great Dad M15 is!! He is the GOAT! Thank you for watching!
