Thanks for the eagle trip Scott
Re: Chilliwack Bald Eagles Seasons 2018-2022
No eagles but I did take the time to check the back yard birds once in a while. A flock of Evening Grosbeaks has been around the past few days and don't visit often so I took a few pics again through the windows. They are very skittish.

Bath time for this group of starlings and sparrows.
A very nice surprise when just before 8 this evening the Lazuli Bunting showed up and stayed long enough for a picture this time. All the other birds had left for the day.

Thanks Iona.
I've been meaning to check again on the closest two nests that each had eagles sitting in them and today the weather was good enough and I remembered to do it.
As I neared the Mcguire/Banford nest I spotted an eagle preening so pulled over.
I couldn't see the nest from here due to some trees so took a short walk down the road and could see the other adult and one eaglet.

I drove to the other side so I wasn't shooting into the sun but could only see the eaglet's head from here. Soon it lay in the nest and I couldn't even see that.
The eagle which had been preening flew past the nest then soared in the distance.
I parked closer to the nest.

I couldn't see any eagles at the Gibson Rd. S. nest but unless they're sitting high in the nest it's hard to see them.
A short drive but it was nice to see a healthy looking eaglet at the nest.

A short drive to see how the McGuire-Banford Rd. eagles were doing. No adults around when I first got there but the eaglet was visible.
A nice surprise when a second eaglet popped up as I'd only seen one on my previous visits.
As I was getting in my van the eaglets started calling out and I turned in time to get a quick pic of a food drop off.
The lighting was much better from the other side of the nest but I didn't have time to move.

I moved farther from the nest tree to see if I could get better pics of what was going on.
Terrible lighting from this side but this was the best I could do.
The second eaglet must have been a flatlet on my earlier visits.
I did check the S. Gibson Rd. nest next but no eagles seen in or near the nest.

Thanks Scott The pictures are great, under the circumstances
Re: Chilliwack Bald Eagles Seasons 2018-2022
A repeat of my last drive. A lovely day so I decided to check on the closest nest to see what the young eagles were up to.
Not much going on but I hung around hoping there would be a food drop.

A barn swallow landed on the wires near me and was chirping up a storm.
Still no action so I checked the Gibson Rd. nest but nothing there again so went back to the eaglets.

One of the eaglets started calling out a lot then I spotted one of the adults heading this way.
I was all set with the camera but as I followed the eagle it landed in the distant favorite perch tree.
No food drop for the eaglets, but I was getting hungry so headed home but stopped to get a closer pic of the perched eagle.

The view from where I check the Gibson Rd. S. nest looking west towards Vancouver. Directly behind me is the view I usually have of Mt. Cheam but it was cloud covered at this time. (Double click for full view.)
