Saw the two eagles atop the tree on the Highway around 8a.m. - they are often there.
Yesterday afternoon I saw Ma (may have been Pa) Stalashen in the nest, from here it looked like Ma was moving branches around - suddenly 5 crows flew in and settled in nearby trees.

Through the telescope:
8a.m. Ma and Pa Stalashen are on a branch in the tree sitting close together.

9:39a.m both are on a branch and there's another eagle in the perch tree near the top - cannot see a white head, it's hard to see detail through the telescope to give an approx. age.

Sandra, the juvie I took a pic of the other day was about 3 blocks away. Glad you got to see the eagles at Porpoise Bay we usually see one or more when we go there.

9:53a.m. Looking out of our window I saw soaring along with a 4 seagulls.

What brilliant photos through the telescope, Marg.
You are well practised at that now - I look forward to the start of season

Thank you Pat, the sun was shining when I took the last pics.
Having visited the nests here you probably enjoy seeing the local eagles.

Hi Bev nice to see you stop by. Thanks for your comments, I'm lucky that Sandra takes awesome pictures of the eagles in our area. We love our eagles and enjoy sharing them with everyone - we're looking forward to this season.

Good morning.
Yesterday we decided to walk through the park at Davis Bay and walked out on to the beach when we were close to Chapman Creek I spotted an eagle at the top of a tree.
2:58p.m.

We were chatting to some other people out enjoying the brisk, sunny day when one of them said there's the other one - we hadn't spotted it because it was hidden in the tree. We believe they were Ma & Pa Stalashen. Then Mr. SC spotted a blue heron in the middle of another tree nearby.

Here's the heron, we have seen one in this area before.



It was quite cold (arctic air you know) so we finished our walk and headed home.
