We are still waiting for some additional information about TERF31/Harbour Sun so I'll post what I have so far, and plan to add the rest when it becomes available.
BAEA23-07 - TERF31
Banding Date: June 15, 2023
USFW Band #: 0829-01873
ID: Blue marker X over 6 on its left leg
Age: adult
Eye color: light yellow
Sex: female
Weight: just over 13 pounds (David Hancock said she was the largest eagle he'd ever held)
Harbour Sun and her mate Eagle Eye have a nest in West Vancouver, right next to the territory of TERF26/Annie. There's anecdotal evidence that eagles have been in the area since at least 1999, and the nest has been monitored since 2009. The nest is on private property so we aren't sharing a lot of details, but we do know that the pair nested on a hillside back from the water from 2009 through 2022, and moved to a new location nearer shore this year.
