Boundary Bay Central 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion

[RoseA]

1:13pm zoomed in on the other egg, I can tell if that mark is just a smudge of dirt on it or not.

[RoseA]

1:14pm I was hoping to see a little feeding, but it didn't happen. Adult (Pere) covered up the eaglet again.

1:19pm Pere on the nest.

[RoseA]

1:26pm COG. Mere back on the nest. She must have brought all that seaweed stuff.

[RoseA]

1:27pm COG> Mere really pressures Pere until he finally gets up and leaves.

[RoseA]

1:28pm Mere covers up the egg and eaglet pretty quickly after Pere leaves.

1:28pm Mere back on duty.

I have now logged off the cams.

2:17 pm - rollback - Mere still on the nest in the same position....I did not see her get up but the rain is back and she is trying to keep her baby and egg dry

2:47 pm - current time....Mere still over her chick and egg

I am going to log in for a bit

[SueB]

3:02 pm - cams are not working for me....nor is the rollback so I have logged off the cams. Mere remains on the nest.

[SueB]

3:10 pm - rollback - Pere in with a fish in his beak

He ate a few bites of it and then took this tiny piece to feed to Mere....aww so cute...he really wants to feed his baby.

1525 - First feeding! BB1 is getting a bite or two by the looks of it.

3:20 pm
I was beginning to wonder if this was the same pair as last year (we thought it was - they seemed to know the area and be comfortable with each other) - but it seemed that a couple of times the tiny one was up and peeping, and the adult was looking at the pile of fish, then looking at the chick, but hadn't quite put the parts together.

I'm not sure which parent this is, but I'm pretty sure they are connecting with the chick at least part of the time.

PS - I loved seeing Pere give Mere tiny bites of fish - glad you caught that, Sue!

Pere offering bites to Mere is just too much.

Hi Judy
I think it was Pere doing that, looking at the pile of fish and then back at the chick.

Then it was Mere feeding the chick around 3:20 and still there after.

3:48pm Pere at lower north perch... horse below.
