Thank you Heather for continuing this thread. I stopped by Monday the 18th to find this nest even more difficult to spot and no signs of eagles. A neighbour waking by said she hears 1 calling but couldn't say that she has heard 2!

Thank you Heather for continuing this thread. Can't give up on it.
I visited after our lunch Jan 29. Nest is looking solid. No sign of eagles.
Looks like new greenery is going to hide activity here even more than in previous years. I'll try changing my position in the parking lot for picture taking next time.

Fund Drive for Hard Drives
Good afternoon, everyone! I have just learned that we do not have the hard drives we need to record our cams as we approach little chick time - and we do not have the funds necessary to buy them.
These are the high resolution drives that are connected directly to the cams at the site, making it possible to record high quality videos of events at the nests - and we usually have them up and running before the eggs are laid. As you know, we already have eggs at three of our four nests, and they are likely any day now at the fourth nest - so time is of the essence.
Our tech person Ken is estimating that it will cost about $7000 to buy the high quality, high capacity drives needed for our 9 cams, and while we are keeping up with our regular monthly expenses, we don't have the extra money needed to buy and install the hard drives.
I know this is a hard time financially for many of us, with many businesses closed - but it may also be a time when some of us are staying home and watching the eagles after cancelling planned trips or dinners out - and I'd like to ask those who can to contribute towards these hard drives.

Well I haven't visited this nest for quite some time! So thank you very much Sandra for monitoring it and posting updates.
Last week I met my friend that lives by the nest and she reported lots of activity in the nest this summer. No specifics as she doesn't follow it too closely but good to know that the eagles are still in the area, and hopefully raising eaglets.

I thought the nest looked good on an earlier visit this year but have not stopped by since. Thanks for the update. Encouraging.

I gather there was no eaglet this year?
Re: Flume Creek/Margaret Rd Bald Eagles - Roberts Creek, Sunshine Coast, BC 2018-2022
Sadly no specific reports of any eaglets at this nest Marg. My friend that loves nearby mentioned lots of activity but not sure if it was nesting or territorial behaviour.
