I took photos from various vantage points and did not see any movement, white head feathers or yellow beak in the nest.

This photo was taken from the sidewalk across from the washroom building.

I visited the park yesterday with a friend and there were no eagles seen or heard. The nest looks the same as it did last time I visited.

Taken from the grassy area across the road from the washrooms.

We have visited Beacon Hill 3 times in as many weeks and each time there have been no sightings of eagles and no activity in the nest.

Not the news I wanted to hear, but perhaps they needed a year off :(

I was speaking with a lady in the park this evening and she said there has been an eagle in the nest the last few times she has been in the park :dunno:

Lynda, the lady said she had just been over to the nest site site before I saw them and both she and her husband said they saw a white head in the nest. Now I'm wondering if it could have been a gull they saw :dunno:

I haven't seen any sign of an eagle for a few weeks. Not on the totem pole, not on the Ogden Point lamp standards. Was under the nest tree yesterday and no sign of life.
