Through the telesope the last week or so:

I've seen the two eagles in various branches and sometimes one visible in the nest.
A few times I've seen a fly in and a fly out. :)

I'll post a picture tomorrow.


I saw one in the nest this morning early and one on a branch.

2 pictures but they aren't very clear taken March 14 and 15. I tried cropping the 2nd pic more but it got blurry.

These photos are from my visit to the nest March 8. Sorry for the delay. Computer has been giving me lots of problems lately.
Pa was on a perch different from old Pa and hard to see from various angles, hidden by greenery.

Nest as seen from the corner on arrival.

As seen from the beach. I was looking for a white head in the nest but none to be found.

The property owner is very good about collecting the sticks that fall during nest building time and leaving them neatly below the nest. There were quite a few more lined along the road's edge. :thumlft:

Today, through the telescope I saw one fly out, the other eagle was on a branch, then I saw the one that flew out return and fly into the nest. Sorry, but this wasn't a good day for pictures.

That owner (or someone) has been putting sticks out for the eagles since Earl & I watched this nest. :)

6:52pm Looked through the telescope and saw one at the top of the tree and one on a branch. I don't know if there are any eaglets in the nest? 711pm both still there.

Interesting observation Marg. It was nice and warm out, they likely were in some sun. Hopefully eaglets are or have hatched. :luck:

Through the telscope, a little while ago I checked and I think there may be an eaglet or 2 in the nest..... :luck: It's not a good picture but the best I can do I saw it better through my telescope but I've seen what looked like feeding going on earlier.

On April 20 stim took me down to see the Stalashen Nest (I don't drive any more). Thank you stim it was a treat for me. :) We saw no eagles but viewed the nest.

We also talked to a few people out walking their dogs who live in the neighbourhood but they didn't think that there were any chicks there. I hope that there will be this year. :luck: stim and I were concerned about the nest, a few branches that supported the nest have blown down, and we hope that the nest survives.
When I enlarge the pic I see what I think look like patches of white do you????

I see some white, what looks to me like feathers plucked off prey. Also some bright spots on some of the sticks from sun reflection. That's all I can say. :huggie: :D
