Re: Hastings Street/PNE Nest, Vancouver - Seasons 2018-2022

I last saw the two Hastings eagle parents at the nest tree on April 27. Diana saw one parent on April 29. We did not see baby eaglets and sadly the parents are gone. I've checked once a day all of May, but no sign of the eagles 😢 - Vicki

Done! Hopefully the eagles will line nest with moss and lichens before Spring egg-laying season.

Re: Mosquito Creek Eagles, North Vancouver - Seasons 2020 & 2021

On September 9, 2020, the HWF installed their pre-built artificial nest at the mouth of Mosquito Creek by the North Vancouver Yacht Club (east side).

Close-up of nest. HWF also built a new eagle's nest in the nearby shipyard tree for the eagles to use in the Spring. But the new nest tree will be destroyed in about three years, due to more property development. Then the eagles will hopefully use the pole nest (Hancock will move the pole cone when it's time). The two-step process will help eagles adapt during continuous North Vancouver property development. (Admin please edit this info if it's not quite accurate. -- Vicki)

Thanks for sharing this special nest-building event. I will be adding a few more photos that I took from the ground. Who is the mystery person who took these fabulous aerial photos?
