March 18th down at Vanier nest today to see if I could see ma brooding on the nest. Heres what I captured....pa sitting directly beside the nest preening and ma sitting in the nest brooding

pa preening
on this capture you have to look very close between the twigs on the nest but you can make out the white head in the nest bowl klik X2 to view inside the red circle you can see the white head and yellow beek

Judy, is she on the left of the thick limb? The nest must be really deep!

Here is Ma Vanier who just finished her bath after she ate. Notice the ducks are not afraid. Photo taken by Mike Seear and sent to me for posting here. Thank you, Mike.

Friends of these Eagles,
On my rounds today I had the pleasure of showing a fellow eagle lover(BEN) from the UK some of are local nest.
Ma was deep in the nest bowl but poked her head up to say hi to us


No sign of Pa ,This was are last stop after seeing Eagles at Strathcona,Lafarge and Hastings.All said I think our Visitor (Ben) managed to get some good pictures of some of the local eagles and hopefully enjoyed the ride
Cheers

Vanier Park eagle lovers.....I was down to Vanier Park today to see if I could see ma Vanier sitting on the nest bowl and she was there cleaning the nest bowl and pa Vanier was on a branch close to the nest on the east side of the tree. It was a dull day today so my smart phone camera didn't pick up any colour and it is not as clear as my Canon but you can clearly see in one photo ma in the nest with her white head and pa on the left of the nest with his white head and body facing towards False Creek.. The other two photos are of ma Vanier's tailfeathers and rear bending into the nest cleaning it and doing an feeding the bobble. Had to correct myself because I thought she was egg rolling but was told by Diana that the egg or eggs had hatched.....yeah so cool



Click X2 I've tried to blow it up to 200% but do not know if it is clear enough or not as the three photos were taken from a smart phone camera.

Hi Judy

I don't think Ma was rolling the eggs..................the eggs have hatched!! I wish we knew how many there were......she flew off the nest and caught a rat and was feeding them today when I was there....very exciting!

Diana, how amazing! When do you think they hatched?

Hi

I just got back from vacation last night but I had calculated that they would hatch around the 7th or 8th
