Thank you for informing our small group here on the Sunshine Coast, across the Strait from this nest about this new cam Marg!

That would be observed with some very mixed emotions. Quite an event to witness.
Wonder what happened to Jr's tail feathers?
Looking forward to what photos you could capture.

Marg I love the photo you got today of the 2 together in the nest tree. Hormones!

Holly has reported that there is much activity around the nest, defending and building. All as it should be.

Marvellous activity showing the beginning of a new season. Hoping for another successful year!

Good deduction Heather!

Great sightings Karen! I wonder if they saw the man who feeds them waving a fish around over there, or perhaps the eagle couple with nest by the Blue Heron sign? Also the eagles gathering, soaring up between the compost pile that steams this time of year and those soaring near the dump could attract...

I just discovered these photos of the nest taken back in Sept.

From the back side, part way up the road to Wilson Creek. From the beach.

It does look open in behind. Where did you take the photo from?

Driving through Davis Bay yesterday toward Sechelt I could see 2 bald eagles perched at the very top of an evergreen at the top of the hill, water side before coming to Heather Rd on the right. Almost at the nest site this time. :thumlft: First sighting I've ever had that close to their nest site. :...

Today on my way into Sechelt I was thrilled to see 2 eagles perched at the very tip top of the big evergreen outside Gourmet Girls. On the way home a couple of hours later, 1 was there. I can't say they were the Chapman couple but could have been!

Very nice to see!

I love when that happens Heather! Here's hoping!

Thank you for bringing all the information together for us here, where it belongs Heather! People are reducing ferry runs due to covid sadly. However, we have a good number of eyes on this couple.

We drove past the nest again yesterday and 1 adult was in the same perch tree near the nest tree.

My first sighting this fall was of an adult perched in Davis Bay just at the bottom of Bay Rd. Next sighting was in a tree where the houses start out of Davis Bay, at the house with the fence. That's quite a frequent perch tree before nesting season. Then last week I saw an adult perched a little fa...

I'm so glad you can see them now and can start giving updates again!

On Oct 25 I was driving up Inlet Rd toward the dump when I spotted a fledgling with a very dark head perched in a tree about a block before coming to the nest tree, same side of the road. Then what a joy to spot both adults perched very close to the nest tree. As I parked the car near the landscapin...

I found the eagle! Great catch Heather!

Our friend Maureen has reported that the eagle couple are back and how good it is to hear their chatter, see them flying around.

Wonderful news and great photos Heather! It does seem like you saw your youngster's fledge in July! Interesting it was drawn to the former nest. Did it actually land in the nest?

Excellent! Thank you for letting us know!

Both Karen and Jack have seen an eagle couple perched down in the estuary, where our couple often perch. Both said they were very noisy.

NESTING SEASON 2020-2021 BEGINS HERE

With the positive report from our friend who lives across the street from this nest we can continue with our new season knowing both eaglets fledged in the summer.

BEGINNING OF SEASON 2020-2021

We are assuming both our lovely eaglets from last summer successfully fledged. This can be the beginning of our new season.

I agree with Gemini, Vkahri! A well experienced work crew at hand with a good solid looking base. Awesome!

OUR 2020-2021 NESTING SEASON WILL BEGIN HERE Nov 10/20 I have just received this encouraging update from Holly. Thanks Holly! Mom (I think new mom) and dad have been very busy and vocal again. Sitting in the nest and doing lots of hunting and wing spreading. No nest repairs yet. (Observed). The exc...
