#SWFLEagleCam
F23 did a great job sheltering E23 from the storm that blew through yesterday and last night. Mom has to be tired today.
E23 is 16 days old today. The darker gray feathers are insulation, and the eaglet can now regulate its own body temperature. Soon, the blood feathers will come in, and the dark, juvenile feathers will begin to grow. The juvenile feathers are a lot thicker than adult plumage, which will actually make E23 look bigger than the parents.
