I checked on the eagles today; one was perched in a tree by the gate going into Royal Roads by the school and the other one called from the nest. That one wasn't visible in the nest from the road but I did see it from the lagoon.
Taken from the Lagoon. Eagle on the left side of nest.

I finally made it to the lagoon this morning where we decided to stay to view the nest. We had a very nice surprise; there were three eaglets perched on different branches in the nest tree, above the nest One of the eaglets on the branch in the middle flapped up to a higher branch, then up to the top of the tree We spotted one adult perched on a snag below the nest tree and the other adult was perched in a tree over by the bridge.

My fellow WiTS monitor was advised of another nest in the general vicinity of the Royal Roads property, off Heatherbell Rd. There were two eaglets in the nest at that time and they were already branching. We went to check on the eaglets today and they have fledged already. We saw one of the adults flying over the trees in the distance and were sure we heard an eaglet. I saw a dark blob in a nearby tree but we weren’t sure if it was an eaglet. I will be going back to the site tomorrow and hopefully will see an eagle or eaglet

This is another nest in the general vicinity of Royal Roads that my fellow WiTS volunteer was shown a couple of weeks ago. She was informed there were 2 eaglets that successfully fledged from this nest this season. By the time we got there the eaglets were out and about and we did not see either of them.

Re: Royal Roads Eagles, Colwood BC - 2018/2019 Season
I visited the nest area yesterday and saw all 3 eaglets out and about in the surrounding trees. They were all squawking and I think they must have been calling for food. We didn't see either of the adults anywhere in the area. We never used to have a clear view of the nest tree so I think there must have been some trees blown down in a wind storm.

I think the eaglet on the left was telling its sibling 'this is my branch'

Re: Royal Roads Eagles, Colwood BC - 2018/2019 Season
I was at Esquimalt Lagoon yesterday and took a few photos of the eagle nest tree. I did not see or hear the adults but did hear an eaglet calling once. I think one of the 3 eaglets was lying down in the nest. I caught a glimpse of movement using my binoculars but didn't catch it in a photo. The eagles will need to do a lot of renovating of their nest before using it next season, as it is much lower on one side.
