Marg glad you are seeing the Stalashen eagles most days!

I hope the rain will stop here someday soon so I can get out to visit some nests

[marg]

Thanks Kay.
Yes, I saw them both today around noon perched on a branch.
I hope that you are able to get out soon to check your eagles.

Ma or Pa is perched on a branch in the nest tree.
They are both around. I did see one (almost) hidden perched in the old nest tree yesterday.

This afternoon I saw one eagle at the top of the tree it looked like Pa.

I heard from a friend who lives close to the nest:
He heard that Port Stalashen has a rat problem and have hired an exterminator who has placed poison there.
Apparently, the male that was here last year has been replaced with a much friendlier male. The eagles seem to be talking much nicer, so we will wait to see if we get eaglets this year.

An eagle was found in the area a year or so ago that I believe was poisoned.

I was most surprised on entering the subdivision on Tues, Oct 16 to find an eagle perched in the stand of 3 evergreens at the corner of Mission Rd and Stalashen Dr, left side going in! That was a first for me! There was eagle calling coming from the area of the creek but I couldn't see one perched. None in the nest tree but on leaving, I spied one perched in the old perch tree.
On looking at my pictures it appears to be the same eagle that was on the corner. What I didn't notice until looking at my pictures was the female eagle down low in the old perch tree below the male! Hmmm.
No sticks on the ground under the nest tree, only a few small splatters of white on the road below.

Current nest.

Perched on the corner.

Both in old perch tree.

Saw one eagle on a branch early this morning in the nest tree.

Sandra, I have seen both eagles in the perch tree, once I saw one and when I looked again almost hidden behind the trunk was the other one.

I took this picture yesterday they are both in the tree one on a branch and one in the nest.

This morning I saw one eagle on a favourite branch.
I have seen one or two in the nest tree several times over the past while. I saw one in the nest eating something a few days ago.
