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

I was in Sechelt today so took a drive to check on this nest, I didn't see any eagle activity and not sure if the nest is being used. But it is still there so possibly a good sign.

Re: Larson Rd nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2024

I finally went to Larson Road to check on the nest and hopefully see some activity. What a shock it was when I drove to the bottom of the road, parked and looked at the nest tree to see absolutely no sign of a nest! Nothing. Not even a twig. There does appear to be a bit of the old nest caught up in...

Re: Mabel Rd/9th St nest on the Strait of Georgia, Sunshine Coast, Gibsons BC - Seasons 2020-2024

Thanks for the update Sandra ! I keep meaning to stop by here to check. Disappointing that the mitigation nest is still not being used. Did Gord say if there is still an adult pair in the area ?

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

Updates from March 13 and March 18 visits. On March 13th finally saw two adults at the nest! And then today while getting out from our vehicle after parking by the mail boxes, I saw an adult flying in so quickly zoomed in with the camera in time to catch the action. After downloading the picture lat...

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

I have been going by the nest tree a few times a week while walking our dog and haven't seen any activity at the nest but have seen two adult eagles in the area once in a while. On March 5th I was walking and spotted an adult perched lowish in a tree in-between the large middle parking area and the ...

Re: Kinnikinnick Park Eagle nest, W Sechelt BC, on the Sunshine Coast, Seasons 2020-2023

Long delay in getting back here, and too late it seems. Could see no eaglet in the nest but did see an adult fly by. Then could hear what I thought was an eaglet calling from the trees in Kinnikinnick Park. Sounded a bit faint, far away. But because it sounded like an eaglet I spent some time trying...

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

Finally was able to get back to the nest on Wednesday, July 19th. Could not see any activity at the nest, anywhere along Ocean Beach Esplanade or the beach. But when leaving to head home spotted an adult eagle on the large rock on the beach that you can see going around the corner by Bonniebrook Lod...

Re: Larson Rd nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

Finally got back to the nest yesterday, had been a while so wasn't sure what to expect. As I parked I could see a large eaglet looking out from the nest. Yay! Finally after a couple of years with no eaglets there was a nice healthy looking eaglet in the nest. Looking almost ready to fledge. While I ...

Re: Larson Rd nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

Exciting visit to the nest this morning, first saw an adult (Pa ?) in the perch tree. Good news. He then flew off briefly but came back to the perch tree. A short time later the second adult (Ma ?) flew in and while I was tracking her with my camera noticed a fuzzy brown head looking up at her from ...

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

I stopped by the next this morning but no activity at the nest while I was there, or any eaglets peeking up over the nest. Though I did see an adult on the beach but couldn't get any pictures before he/she flew off heading towards Chaster Park, and then couldn't relocate.

Re: Chaster Beach Eagle Nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

Finally got back to the nest May 23rd while taking our dog for a walk along the beach. When I arrived Pa was in the nest, then hopped over to the perch branch, where he was when I set off walking after watching the nest for a while to see if any eaglets made an appearance. There was an adult in the ...

Re: Larson Rd nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

Finally! On my May 21st visit to the nest I saw both adults. One was in the perch tree, assuming it's the male ? He flew off just after I arrived but quickly returned to his perch. Shortly after a second adult flew in, straight into the nest. Assuming Ma ? It appeared that she was eating something a...

Re: Larson Rd nest on the Strait of Georgia, Gibsons BC on the Sunshine Coast - Seasons 2020-2023

I've stopped by this nest a few times since my last post, including this morning, and all has been quiet and have not seen any activity in or around the nest. Hopefully the nest is being used but I find it a bit strange that besides how quiet it is there has also been no adult perched in the tree to...
