Re: Oak Bay Eagles, Oak Bay BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the nest in Hollywood Park with my birding partner on Mar. 20th. We were happy to see that the nest was much larger than it was the previous time we visited the park. We wandered around the park for awhile before my partner spotted movement in the nest. One of the eagles appeared to be inc...

Re: Oak Bay Eagles, Oak Bay BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the new nest on Island Rd. with my birding partner on Mar. 20th. Unfortunately, there were no eagles seen or heard in the area. We found out later, after meeting one of the regular nest observers, that he witnessed a mating on the big perch tree on Anderson Hill :woohoo: Island Road Eagle ...

Re: Oak Bay Eagles, Oak Bay BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

Golf Course Eagles cont'd. After a long while we were delighted to see the top of a white head in the nest. The eagle in the nest flew out to the big perch tree across the road and mated with the other eagle perched at the top of the tree. I was standing on the wrong side of the road and missed gett...

I visited the Victoria Golf Course nest with my birding partner on Mar. 20th. We walked up and down Beach Dr. hoping to see something in the nest.

Re: Oak Bay Eagles, Oak Bay BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

York Place Eagles 20 Mar. The nest that was on York Place fell a few years ago. Before that it was in the tree behind the Oak Bay Fire Hall. Now we believe the pair that built the new nest in the big tree overlooking Willows Beach are the same pair. We viewed the nest tree on York Pl. from the next ...

Sylvan Lane Eagles cont'd. As we got closer to the nest tree I zoomed in on the eagle perched at the top and saw a band on its leg. My birding friend who reports on these eagles regularly took a photo of the band on one of the eagles a few years ago. Unfortunately it was windy on the day we visited ...

Sylvan Lane Eagles cont'd.

As we approached the street where the eagles have built a new nest, we could see one of the eagles perched at the very top of the new nest tree.

Willows Beach Eagles, Mar. 20th

We had a good view of the nest now that the leaves are off the trees. Sadly, we did not see or hear any eagles in the area.

Re: Oak Bay Eagles, Oak Bay BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I did a tour of the nest in Oak Bay with my birding partner on Mar. 20th. We were delighted to see one of the adults in the Lansdowne/Beach Dr. nest. It was calling softly but its mate didn't bring any food! We caught a few glimpses of it from various vantage points but it didn't get up! All of thes...

Re: Southern Vancouver Island & Lower Mainland BC Eagle Nests - 2019-2024 Seasons

I have received an update from Ann Smith about the Hollywood Park eagles. Mar. 11th Ann saw an eagle taking a branch to the nest tree, and she has seen eagles taking branches to the nest occasionally over the past weeks. About a week prior to that she saw 4 or 5 eagles flying in high circles around ...
