I was at Vanier from approx 1:00pm to 2:30. When I arrived, one adult was still in the same location where garyandjudy observed it. After a short time the 2nd adult came back and landed on the nest. It poked and prodded for a few minutes Then just sat there for a while. I had an excellent conversation with an older gentleman and his wife. He gave me a tip on another viewpoint for the nest. But requires a lot of magnification. I went up to the new view point and sure enough it gives a good look into the nest. I don't think there are any eggs at Vanier yet, but it won't be long now. I'll post some pictures and maybe even try a short video after I have processed them.

Here's a link to a video I posted on Youtube. Just the Vanier Eagle on Saturday. I'm really just working out how to post the video. But some of you may enjoy it.

After a disappointing trip to habitat island (just lots of people there smoking, throwing large rocks....with dogs and bikes and everything Sad )

I biked back along the seawall to Vanier to check up on the eagles.
They definitely made my day Grin

Along the way I spotted Dad out working hard to find some dinner, but the crows were giving him a hard time.




He ended up perched up on the mast of a boat



And I also got a couple pictures of mom peeking out of the nest Grin






When I was down by the nest tree the sun was just about to set.

Also saw male Vanier eagle sitting on totem pole looking around for food as after I took his capture he flew off of the totem pole north over the West End towards the Vancouver waterfront
