Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sechelt, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sechelt, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Welcome to the 2017- 2018 Season!
Welcome to this thread. If you visit the Stalashen nest in Sechelt you are welcome to post comments and pictures here.
Earl & I have been watching this nest in Sechelt from our living room, through a telescope and binoculars. The nest is located at the corner of Stalashen Drive and Titalshen Avenue. We have been following this nest since 2008. When we first started reporting on the nest we had talked to a few of the people living close to the nest and they said that it has been there over 20 years. Unfortunately, it did blow down in July 2009 after a windstorm but we are happy to tell you that the eagles built a new nest. When the nest blew down one of the eaglets had branched and the 2nd one was fine also, the eagles fed them on a branch before they fledged. We look through our telescope at this nest which is about a mile and a half away. We can only see them clearly in the morning or evening due to the glare from the water and thermal interference.
Added July 16, 2017. Sandra was told by neighbours that this nest is 50 yrs. old (could even be older than that even) when his wife moved there she was 1 she's now 51.
2009 - 2 eaglets not named. Fledged.
2010 - 1 eaglet Sunny. Fledged.
2011 - 1 eaglet Bluster June 21 Bluster branched. Fledged.
2012 - 1 eaglet Pacer June 27 Pacer branched. Fledged.
2013 - 1 eaglet Hydan June branched. Fledged.
2014 - 2 eaglets branched ..... Fledged July 16.
2014 - Sep 28, 5:50pm Ma/Pa Stalashen back!
2015 - 2 eaglets branched.......Fledged
2015 - Sep 30 Ma/Pa returned.
2016 - 1 eaglet, Orel fledged June 28.
2016 - Sep 19 one eagle returned.
2017 - Two eaglets branched one fledged June 30 2017 the other one a few days later.
2017 - Oct. 1 Ma or Pa returned.
At the beginning of this season we thought that there were 2 eaglets in this nest but on May 19 we could only see one eaglet through the telescope. We don't know what happened but what was believed to be an eagle wing was found on the ground by two of our members Karen H and Aspen. Karen H stated "At the time we didn't know if it was from the missing eaglet or another bird". As stated on the thread I contacted Gibsons Wildlife but they had not had any report of an eaglet found on the ground.

Good morning everyone!
I took this pic around 6:30am through the telescope (best I can do at this time of day). Ma/Pa Stalashen are perched on a branch to the left of the nest tree. They are still there at 7:36am

Re: Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Through the telescope: we see Ma and Pa in and around the nest more now so suspect there is an egg but cannot see into the nest as we have no cam here. Another sign is the presence of a number of crows buzzing the eagles.
Re: Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
I've been thinking it's about time to check on our nests for brooding! Soon I hope to be out there on a bright sunny day.
Re: Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Looking through the telescope this morning 7:13a.m. I witnessed a mating they were at the top of the nest tree.
At the moment 8:12am one is on a branch to the left not sure where the other is.

I visited our Stalashen nest last Wed, March 7. Only 1 adult was found, standing in the nest. I think it was Pa. No sign of one down low brooding.

Through the telescope:
Saw a white head in the nest earlier probably Ma.

Hello everyone who checks this nest.
It's been a very windy day here lots of whitecaps on the water, the nest tree was swaying a lot but Ma or Pa remained down in the nest brooding. We even had some hail but it didn't last long.

Exciting news Marg to hear that Ma and Pa are brooding.
Fingers crossed that the weather improves soon so that they don't get too wet!

Thanks for your post Heather.
When I looked this morning one was perched on the branch to the left and one in the nest.
