The white chest marking on the bigger eaglet will help id them now.

Wow, so much information shared during these postings! Don't you love seeing the crops full as can be?
I hope you will be pleasantly surprised soon to see 2 eaglets at once.
Thanks for all the positivity in the updates!

Awesome pics Karen, and this time our youngster is on the moss not under it. The eagles often take in moss to line the nests and perhaps what is here is just a large piece of rolled up moss. If so, I'm sure the eaglet finds it more comfortable to be on it than under it! lol I do hope Pa isn't gettin...

A hearty welcome to you and your brother Pandora Neighbour!
Thank you for the wonderful photo of 2 youngsters here! I'm sure Christine will appreciate not being our only ground observer now that Annemie has left the neighbourhood.
Hoping for successful fledging for both eaglets.

My pics weren't worth posting. I'm so glad you saw what you did Heather! Awesome news. Looking forward to pics.

As I stopped by here Fri June 26 rain drops started falling, lightly enough that I could quickly get a few shots of the lone eaglet sitting on a branch beside the nest. It was overcast and dreary at the time. Looking to me like a beautiful big girl.

I had every good intention of getting some eaglet shots for you on Friday, June 26 Marg but at that specific time of day it decided to rain pretty good. I drove under the nest, could not see any youngsters visible from the car. Sorry! I shall try again.

I got up to this nest site on Friday June 26 as it started to rain. No sign of eaglets from the parking area. It was raining too hard to explore various vantage points.

On talking with my friend who can see this nest from her kitchen it is obvious that it is not being used this year. I visited June 25 around 3-3:30, leaving my camera in the car so I could walk a bit of a way on either side of the nest. Going towards Gibsons I could see a couple of trees that looked...

I finally dropped by this nest on Thursday afternoon, June 25 between about 3:30-4:00. On arrival I found this youngster there to greet me. What a treasure. 4852.jpg I would have been satisfied just seeing her but in flew a parent, quietly without any fanfare from eaglet(s). It looked like a bit of ...

I dropped by here on June 26 around 2:30-3:00. Despite very low tide I could see nor hear any eagle activity. The tide was so low that the feeding rock was completely out of the water and swimmers were on a sandbar near it, a bit farther out! I don't ever recall seeing the tide so low. I checked the...

Another eye, and a beak! Well done Karen! Yes, the nest is much more visible in your photo. I'm pleased for your success in seeing an eaglet after your diligence with this nest.

Finally, some pics from my visit June 4! I kept thinking I was seeing movement in the nest. Turns out Ma was in there with the kids and some obvious salmon. 4756.jpg Meanwhile Pa was perched near them. 4760.jpg And the salmon chunks are gone. 4762.jpg Thank you Heather I loved seeing your new nest.

Thanks Heather! I just may do that.

So wonderful to see and hear sounds from the nest! You are one lucky lady.

Well done Heather! It is so good to have confirmation of an eaglet or 2 here.
I have my pics on my desktop, still weeding them out. Will post soon! One would think hobbies would take over more during isolation!

Encouraging photos Karen. More than just an eye this time.

Marvellous news. Well done Karen!

Oh my, I also think they could be from an eaglet. Or perhaps Canada Goose? We need options here before we give up on our eaglets. Your whole story though from the eaglets out of the nest, lower in trees, to this could all go together. At the Marsh a couple of years ago I found feathers like these, t...

How concerning. Thanks for the enlarged photo. I meant to get down yesterday but was too worn out by errands.

Wow, what a beauty! So wonderful to see.

Is that a mossy tree limb that has come down on the nest? :ohmy: Remember last year debris was in the nest likely from some dead branches above? I have thought that 1 of the youngsters was injured and didn't make it then. Hopefully if this is a fallen part of a branch it didn't cause injury! :luck:

Wow, sounds encouraging Marg! Let's hope for branching!

Thanks Karen. Nice to see movement and to share a head top with us!

I had forgotten about the drone. And then the neighbourhood coyote got the youngster on the ground. I hope it was already dead. At least we know coyotes don't climb trees. Do they?
Thanks for looking around.

I love all the action you see with the new nest location! And thank you for your hospitality in sharing the experience with me! I haven't finished with my pics yet. Will post if any are post worthy!

Oh no. :ohmy: Yes, too early for fledging unless the female is from south of us and the eggs were laid early. Both of them being out of the nest means they were likely scared out, by a racoon, owl. Likely a racoon as the parents would both be defending them and would fight off an owl. Eaglets could ...

Wow Heather, what grand visits and photo ops you have achieved since your couple moved nesting spots. It does look suspiciously like you have 2 youngsters this year. I look forward to visiting whenever you have time. The juvie looks to have yellowing in its beak but I couldn't determine if it was we...

Well done Karen! You surely are seeing a lot of activity here this year. How good to know 2 eaglets have survived this long with those merlins around. The eagles may have stolen one or some of their eggs, chicks!

On May 10 I was across the water from this nest site and thought I was seeing a white head. I took a few shots from the picnic table area on Wharf St. Found an eagle perched looking out over Porpoise Bay and someone looking to be in feeding position on a platform when I shot what I thought could be ...
