Great relief to hear of successful take offs and landings! Way to go Darlin! I have no idea how long she will stay but apparently has to learn to fish from the parents?

Ron, once you choose your picture to post in Choose File, go up to file with cursor where you want it in your message. Click on file, then insert 1, 2 or 3 in the middle of the file that comes up. You can post 3 pics in 1 post. Hope this makes sense.

Friends,
Thank you all so much for stopping by this thread and posting Pic’s or comments. After we had the loss of our PM Eagles nest tree blowing down in mid May
I decided to open this thread up a little, for several reasons. (1) I Named it the Port Moody Inlet (2) We were blessed with our nesting Osprey 50 feet off the pier.
(which has drown a big attraction)and which I might add He/she has fledged. .
I know most of us are going to go thru the empty nest syndrome, So,
For starters ,this pair of stiller jays are nesting in my front ceder hedge and have gotten quit use to me taking there picture, this will be there third season,
This is Ma waving hi

and of course pa saying thank you for cutting the grass and all these bugs.

Talons crossed that our PM eagles will decide to go back to the PCT nest
Hope to see most if not all of you at the FVBEF
Cheers

Hey Urban Eagle,

That's where the Stellers Jays went! We used to have a pair nesting out side of our place, until the ground maintenance crew of our complex cut the acorn bush down a couple of years ago! That being said, I'm lucky that I live right next to a wooded area, and see lots of different birds nesting in the various tress. Here is a couple of pics of one of the Pileated Woodpeckers that live near my house.

He does have a mate that is usually with him, and I could hear her when I took these pictures, but she was well hidden in amongst the foilage. We certainly know when they're in the area from the loud knocking on the trees!

We'll most definately see you at FVBEF!

The Stellars and Pileated are both relatively new to me, only here 4 and a bit years now. They are definitely 2 of my favourite birds other than our eagles of course. Both are very striking in size, colouring and behaviours. for sharing!

Hello Everyone,

Empty nest syndrom most definately has set in. We ventured down to Rocky Point, hoping that just maybe we may get a glimps of the Osprey. The only one in the area was circling so far up, it was just a dot in the sky, but we could see it pretty good with my husband binoculars. I thought I would take a quick look at the nest the eagles have been trying to build, and it looks like it's been added to recently. That and the foilage seems to be getting thinner, so it's easier to see. When I put the picture on my computer and blew it up, I was surprised to see that it appears that one of the eagles in sitting just on the edge of the nest, kind of hidden amongst the thinning foilage!

Not sure if it's Ma or Pa though, but as always, a pleasure to see! Still hoping they decide to use the old nest at PCT! Talons double crossed!

Thanks for the scap Shrub! It's good to see one of them but I really do hope they go back to the cam nest!

Morning Port Moody followers! Just wondering if our young osprey ever returned to the nest or if it just took off? That is hard to imagine seeing how the 3 in Calgary are hanging about in and around the nest!
