Lafarge Vancouver Bald Eagle Nest 2017/18 Nesting Season
This thread is for Discussion, Observations, Screenshots. Photos & Videos solely related to actions / events / occurrences at the Lafarge Nest
NOTE:
The Lafarge Vancouver Bald Eagle Nest discussion forum is somewhat unique among the family of HWF nest cams in that it no longer has a camera focused on the nest. In October of 2014 the nest tree along with the closeup camera were destroyed during a windstorm. The eagles then moved back to their original nest located approximately seven or eight blocks east of the Lafarge site.
The sideview cam located on the sand tower was unharmed and now provides our only view of the Lafarge pair. Fortunately the Artificial Nest (AN) located on the former nest tree site was not harmed by the storm and the eagles still return to watch over their domain, perching hour after hour on the AN. Our loyal observers continue to monitor the Lafarge family with screenshots and observations from the sideview cam and photos of the eagles and the nest tree from the ground. Consequently, an exception has been made and photos may be posted in the Lafarge discussion thread. We welcome all screenshots and videos of the Lafarge site and nest tree area captured via the webcams and by ground observers as part of the discussion.
As a courtesy to viewers with slower internet connections, please limit the pictures in each post to no more than a total of 150,000 bytes (4 to 6 average screenshots), and please do not post animations (though it's fine to post a link to them) - and if you would limit the smileys - that would be lovely!

Technical Issues With The Side View Cam:
The sun glare will always break up the picture quality of the camera - especially in the spring while the sun is still low in the sky. As summer nears and the sun moves further north, the problem will likely resolve itself. Clarity of the picture at night is limited due to the distance of the cam from the nest tree.
