Just heard from Ken - cam is back up!
There was no one in the perch tree, and I moved the cam to the nest and bit of water view for the night.
Good night, everyone!

G'morning all
At 8:19 AM we had a Juvie visit and promptly get chased off by an adult who also promptly left. All within the span of a minute.

Good morning, everyone!
Update on our other cams - 2 eaglets at Surrey Reserve (oldest is 1 week old today); 2 eaglets at Delta 2 (second one just hatched this morning, and there's one egg still to hatch); 1 egg at White Rock (laid last night, over a month later than previous years - another one likely on the 12th); and at Harrison Mills, the female slept on the nest last night, which is often a prelude to laying an egg (this is a new female, but the previous pair usually laid in early April, so she may be on a normal schedule for the area).
And it looks like a lovely day at French Creek - and we had a visitor to the perch tree here.

Some more videos sent to us by Dense Foster. My apologies for not posting them sooner - I have been having issues with files going missing during set up of my new computer - finally found them!

Beautiful Immature at French Creek Estuary Land
What a beauty! Lots of eagles here this day flying back and forth from the trees at the estuary land to the ocean. A pod of Orcas came through and sea lions joined the action. Apparently herring were a ways offshore.

Mating? Nope!
It looked like this pair were going for it but no go!
Note: this isn't the usual pair but maybe a new one?

Serenity at French Creek
Beautiful evening with snow capped mountains, eagles and sea lions swimming by at the Salish Sea in French Creek.

Dalmation male defends nest
This is the adult male from the Dalmation nest at French Creek. He's exhausted from chasing several juveniles that were intruding into his territory. The adult female was also involved in the chase from her perch nearby in the pair's mating tree. Lots of screaming and panting going on!

Immature on French Creek pair's favourite perch
This perch is near the artificial nest constructed by HWF at French Creek Estuary Land. It's the Marina nest pair's favourite perch where they sit together, unison call and mate. This day an immature with gorgeous feather colouring took it over.

Those are great,.,thank you gemini for posting them
Re: French Creek Estuary Eagles, Vancouver Island - 2020-2021
Good morning, everyone - and thanks, Denise and gemini, for the videos! There's a lot of activity out there!
7:30 am
I moved the cam to the perch tree - and there's an eagle!
I'll be focusing on our nests with eggs and chicks (Surrey Reserve, Delta 2 and White Rock) - but will try to peek in occasionally - and anyone who sees something of interest is welcome to post!

Is the cam really frozen or is this just a continuation of the issues that I'm having with the site?
