I viewed the nest tree from Blenkinsop Rd. on April 17th. One of the adults was perched but I could not see the nest from the road. Next time I visit I will view the nest from the bridge over the lake.

Mount Doug eagles Apr. 17th cont'd.

The eagle in the nest disappeared while the 2nd eagle continued to vocalize.
It scratched while perching!

Mount Doug eagles Apr. 17th cont'd. After watching and listening for awhile I did not see or hear the 2nd adult. I sat in my vehicle then saw movement in the nest. The incubating eagle got up and flew to a nearby tree where the 2nd adult was perched. I heard a lot of vocalizing which to me sounded l...

I visited the nest near Mount Doug park on April 17th. One of the adults was in the nest and appeared to be incubating.

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.

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.

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 ...

A few more photos of Pa in the nest. We didn't see Ma anywhere in the area.

Settling down to continue incubating.

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 (...

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...

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...

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. Hummingbird Lane Eagles 9 Apr. 2024 (6...
