Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2024

It's hard to tell if there are 1 or 2 adults in the nest! The position of that wing tip as well as tail look a bit distant from the head to me. I like to think of them belonging to an adult in feeding mode, as in feeding young. :dunno: And Marg, the nest tree has its own address. I'll check to see i...

Head seems higher than in your last photo Karen! Let's hope for eggs/youngsters beneath that eagle! :luck:

Gord has reported that there is eagle activity in this nest. Hopefully they remain and are productive!

Wow, great capture of our Coastline activity Karen!
My guess is we have a hatch or 2! :woohoo: That eagle is sitting higher than last week, left wing and tail feathers obvious!

Re: Marsh Nest, Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast BC - Seasons 2020-2024

Eating lunch at The Lighthouse Restaurant on Saturday, I could see an eagle fishing out over the water. Can't say it was one of ours, as there must be a lot of nests along the shores of the bay. Before heading home, I took a detour, turned around, so I was heading for the Marsh nest ahead of me. The...

Re: Marsh Nest, Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast BC - Seasons 2020-2024

I got back to this nest today. Sat watching duck behaviour in the water below the nest. Lots going on down there. Nothing at the nest was noticed. I did see an adult eagle flying out over Porpoise Bay a few times but no indication it was one of our Marsh adults. I also looked carefully for heron nes...

Re: Kinnikinnick Park Eagle nest, W Sechelt BC, on the Sunshine Coast, Seasons 2020-2024

I visited the nest yesterday, March 31, to find a white head in the nest. No sign of Pa until leaving, to find him perched on a tree at entrance area to the parking lot, kitty-corner from the treed side of the property, on what I assumed was private property. Both eagles were very quiet while I was ...

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2024

I got to the nest site yesterday, spent over half an hour there and the whole time there was a white head visible on the nest. No calling, no sign of the second eagle but definitely an adult caring for eggs or wee chicklets. It's amazing to watch people continuously walk under the nest, totally unaw...

Gord has just shared that there is lots of eagle activity in the area, just not in the mitigation platform. I guess we have a nest to find!

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2024

I sent the 3 images of mating to David H. This is his reply: SANDRA & KAREN: -- GOOD STUFF. It looks like a female on the bottom = banded. I take the size and behaviour of birds to be the normal -- male on top, female below. If you were thinking the male previously had a band -- I would wonder if th...

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2024

I'm wondering if Pa's now senior age is preventing him from being as active in mating as he once was? Marvellous that you got his band in your photos Karen! Great discovery!

Re: Kinnikinnick Park Eagle nest, W Sechelt BC, on the Sunshine Coast, Seasons 2020-2024

Holly was up to Kinnikinnick yesterday, walking on the pink trail. She called a nest they saw a "very active nest", with a pair of eagles "carrying sticks and building, yakking away". They could be seen in the nest. Deserves a visit up there I think! :thumlft:
