I emailed a friend who lives near the nest and asked if he had seen the Stalashen Eagles when he replied he indicated he'd not seen them yet bet he'll let me know when he does. :)

I heard from my contact and he recently saw an eagle perched in a tree there but not the nest tree perhaps it was Ma or Pa Stalashen.

Both Karen and Jack have seen an eagle couple perched down in the estuary, where our couple often perch. Both said they were very noisy. :thumlft:

Received this message from my contact who lives close to the Stalashen nest.

We saw 2 eagles perched on the tree yesterday, so I guess they’re back.

:woohoo:

:woohoo: Good morning! Now that leaves are beginning to fall I now have a view of the Stalashen nest tree and the perch tree through my telescope! Right now I see either Ma or Pa on a favourite branch. :)

Approx: 2:45pm today I looked through the telescope saw an eagle in the nest and about 15 seconds later it flew out of the nest.

Thank you Heather.
The other evening it was getting a little dark but I saw Ma & Pa on the nest tree.
The picture isn't very clear but here it is!

Nice to see both eagles staying around! :)

Just going through some pics from a few weeks ago and found this one that I took of the Stalashen nest from Mission Point. No adults around though. :(

I don't remember seeing it quite so clearly from there before so perhaps a tree came down and cleared the sightline?

It does look open in behind. Where did you take the photo from?

We were about half way down the beach at Mission Point on a low tide. I don't remember it as a super low tide, just averagely low :)

But could be a useful alternative viewpoint with Margs summer view being blocked by the lilac tree. :(

That's like the back view of what I see through my telescope, good shot Heather.
added: when I make your picture bigger I'm not sure whether it is the back view the nest looks to be on the same side. :dunno:
I will have to see if my neighbour could take some off the top of the lilac tree (not a bush anymore). Another neighbour does trimming there for the owners.
:bye 1:

I just discovered these photos of the nest taken back in Sept.

From the back side, part way up the road to Wilson Creek.

I've seen the eagles in the nest, at the top of the tree and also on various branches either alone or both in the tree and just now I witnessed one fly from the nest.☺ I've seen this fairly often. It's been very windy with the nest tree swinging back and forth but right now we have brilliant sunshine.❤
