I am so very happy that the nest is up and it looks wonderful.
Now we may have a happy next season.
The eagles deserve it so much.
Thank you, David and Diana, and all that were helping.

Thanks for sharing this special nest-building event. I will be adding a few more photos that I took from the ground. Who is the mystery person who took these fabulous aerial photos?

I see it was David Hancock who took the photos while building the nest. Kudos to a well-built nest!

Kudos to David Hancock, Larry, and Mike Seear (r-l) who built the nest. Also, kudos to Diana Seear who organized approval for Permit with City and Parks Board.

Done! Hopefully the eagles will line nest with moss and lichens before Spring egg-laying season.

Masterpiece nest in Cottonwood tree ready for eagles. Eagle parents will return in November 2020 for the Spring 2021 nesting season.

I agree with Gemini, Vkahri! A well experienced work crew at hand with a good solid looking base. Awesome!

David and I visited here Feb 23 to find an adult perched in the stand of evergreens where the old nest was, faced toward the PNE. I took my photos from the parking lot by the cottonwoods. A good distance away. I don't know of course if the adult is one of the nest adults but found what looks like a scar below the mouth. If it is a nest eagle it could be an identifying mark for us.
Nest structure certainly looks strong! No activity seen near the nest.
