Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sechelt, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Re: Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sechelt, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
Such sad news, Marg and stim - sending big, big hugs.
Not sure why, but it seems challenging at a number of nests this year. Hoping for success for the remaining nests, and a much better year in 2019.

Thank you for dropping in here Judy. This is our second local nest so far to lose 2 eaglets, both under intruder usurping one of the parent's positions. It's been a rough week checking out both situations.

Sandra and Marg! This is absolutely devastating news . I am so very sorry for you and for all of us and especially for the eagles. You think it was rat poison ? I cannot understand the ignorance and lack of compassion of humans. And these rodenticides should be illegal!
Thanks for letting me know Marg. I watch but do not comment on all the nests.

Thanks JudyB and elle for your kind thoughts. Also Larry who I emailed and he replied. It was an adult eagle that was poisoned elle, it was Pa Stalashen a few months ago. Karen H will know more about this. I believe this new Pa was here for a while so he no doubt was the Pa of the eaglets.....

Marg & Sandra This is very sad news about this nest The chicks are very vulnerable when they are so tiny. It makes me angry to know that people are still using rat poison Sending to you.

Thank you Lynda, Karen and Kay for your kind messages. We really don't know what happened to our youngsters, why at least 1 ended up on the ground. I do hope rat poison didn't affect them as it could have been a nursing coyote to feed off one of them.
Re: Stalashen Bald Eagle Nest, Sechelt, Sunshine Coast BC 2017 - 2018 Season
I am so sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about the Stalashen eaglets.
And I do hope that it wasn't related to rat poison. I agree with elle that it should be illegal.

Hi heather, thanks for your post. I feel this is the first year since I opened the thread on HWF that we have had no eaglets.

I called Gibsons Wildlife to see if anyone had found an eaglet on the ground at Stalashen but Irene said that they have had no eaglets there recently. We'll have to see if any other neighbours close to the nest saw or heard anything.
