Re: Saanichton Bay Eagles, Central Saanich BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the nest area and the bay with my birding partner on April 9th. We did not see or hear any eagles in the area. We spoke to a few of the neighbours who said they haven't seen or heard them this season. We saw an eagle with a few Turkey Vultures flying towards the bay but it kept going towar...

Re: Lochside Eagles, Central Saanich, BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

Apr. 9th cont'd.

These photos were all taken from Lochside Dr. We did not see or hear an eagle in the area. However, there could have been one down deep in the nest.

Re: Lochside Eagles, Central Saanich, BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the area of the nest with my birding partner on Apr. 9th. We viewed it from across the road and up the hill by the fields. We did not have a good view of the nest but did see an adult flying overhead. We were hoping it would go to the nest but it perched at the top of a nearby tree. These ...

Re: Reay Creek Eagles, North Saanich BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the nest area with my partner on April 9th. Sadly we did not see or hear any eagles in the area. The nest is intact but did not appear to have any new sticks added.

Re: Pa Sidney Eagle Nest, Pat Bay, North Saanich BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited Ma & Pa's nest area with my birding partner on Apr. 9th. When we arrived I saw one of the eagles in the nest; it looked like Pa. He got up, turned around and looked like he was rolling eggs. Pat Bay (Epicure) Eagles 9 Apr. 2024 (1).JPG Pat Bay (Epicure) Eagles 9 Apr. 2024 (2).JPG Pat Bay (...

Re: Coal Point Eagle Nest, North Saanich BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the nest area with my birding partner on Apr. 9th. We did not see or hear any eagles in the area for quite awhile. However, we did hear an adult vocalizing for a few seconds but we weren't sure if it was coming from the nest or from the 2nd eagle somewhere in the area. I took several photo...

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

My birding partner has been documenting the activities of a pair of eagles nesting at the Cordova Bay Golf Course. We visited the area and were able to see the nest tree through the fence. However, there was no sign of eagles in the nest. We will visit again during the next few weeks. Cordova Bay Go...

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

Central Saanich eagles Apr. 9th cont'd. I was able to get a better view of the eagle in the nest from a different vantage point. The perched eagle flew off and didn't return while we were there.

Central Saanich eagles Apr. 9th cont'd. The perched eagle continued to preen for awhile. Hummingbird Lane Eagles 9 Apr. 2024 (5).JPG We believe either Turkey Vultures or Ravens were a little too close to the nest, causing the perched eagle to vocalize warnings.

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

I reported on this nest on March 10th; it is on the First Nations land in Central Saanich. I visited this nest with my birding partner on April 9th. We caught glimpses of a beak and head feathers down in the nest. A short while later the eagle vocalized and the 2nd adult flew overhead, circled then ...

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

This is a nest at the south end of Pat Bay that I have reported on in the past. I viewed this nest with my birding partner from the park area near the Coast Guard docks. It is a difficult nest to view from a distance but we have not found a closer viewing area. One of the eagles was perched at the t...

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

I visited the nest area at Viaduct Flats with my birding partner on April 9th. We were able to confirm an eagle incubating in the nest. The other adult was perched in a nearby perch tree :) This is the nest the eagles have previously used; it is the one that an eaglet fell from 2 years in a row. Via...

Re: NCTC Bald Eagles - Shepherdstown, WVA - Seasons 2020 - 2024

I have read posts by Debs on Facebook and this is very sad news indeed :( It was joyous news when the first chick hatched but ended in tragedy. I'm very sad for the people who have been watching this nest :( Sending hugs to all of you :huggie:

Re: Swan Lake Eagles, Saanich BC - 2019-2024 Seasons

I visited the nest area on April 1st. When I got out of my vehicle I heard an adult in the nest vocalizing very loudly. I looked up and saw 2 adults flying around the area. I assumed one was the 2nd adult from this nest and the other one an intruder. After chatting with one of the neighbours I walke...
