Freinds of this nest, I have to start by again thanking the Island Ground CrewIt' was a pleasure to met all of you. A speacial thanks to David ,Karen and Terry.Most that attended know that Dawn and I arrived Wed.and camped There was a lot a fledging going on and We didn't want to miss it.Thur. was are first live visit to the nest ,about 10am and who's there (Kay, Lori and correct me if I'm wrong Sandra) So with there help it was easy to get my first Pics of Solo
Fledging.In an outside tree too the right of the nest.


And One of Pa( I think)


We didn't stay much longer after the Lady's left Solo was being pretty still but managed to get a few more (next post)

Taken Thur

Hi Larry (Urbaneagle) , I think your photos of Solo and the parent are the ones taken between 2:00pm and 3:00pm on Friday afternoon. Kay, elle and myself (Sandra gee) met you and Dawn on the roadside and pointed out Solo perched in the old nest tree. Your photos are wonderful.... knew they would be with that huge honkin' camera you have. It was nice to meet you.

Thanks for all the photos and recaps from FF2010 everyone, sounds like you all had a wonderful time .

From the photos I recognize John (eagledude) as John Simpson from Courtenay , or am I terribly confused .

OK on to are sat (Fri was at Breentwwod bay ckeck post soon)We where on are way down to the Bay for a pic. lunch on the beach Stoped on the west side and saw my first live food grab.It was amasing ,Solo was out side the nesting tree as was Mom . We where set up on the East side of the road.


Mom spoted something ckecked on Solo,Then was off

She flew right down and over are heads ,Right into the feild directly behind us(wish i was a little better,still learnig the new gear)

Just missed the pick up ,lost here behind the shrubs but headed straight back to the nest.(next ,sorry but We where there for a few days and it's all fledge for solo)

Mom coming back with the catch! In Her left claw.

With you know who ,not seconds behind.

Hope they enjoyed there lunch toghther as much as we did on the Bay

Next post of Mon (F.F.)
P.S Sorry need to get away from manual focus a little blurry

Absolutely terrific photos and narration and descriptions everyone! And thank you for adding the names--that helps make it all the more real for us at Virtual-FledgeFest!

This was a wonderful mixture of eagles, fledging, eagle lovers, eagle territory, eagle supporters, eagles eating and eagle lovers eating! Eagles looking and eagle lovers looking! Really fun to see it all!

Thank you so much!

Ya who, my first offical fledge fest Again Many Thanks to all those able to attened. Was wonderfull to meet all of you and if I missed someone (My appolgies) Well Once again I'm a little out of focus . I think my eye ball had given up after 5 Days straight. Good thing Harry can keep a sharp eye(Hope we meet again ) But I think the group that was there ! Will remember these (speacialy when I was screaming like a little girl)
Solo on Tree Branch to the right of the nest

Taking pic's thru the chain link didn't help any ( maybe next year Harry you can show me that hole in the fence LOL)


Well I have one more to go (with finishing comments)

Well i'll tell you, it's lot easyer taking the pic;s then it is posting them.But where all here for the Eagles I took 264 pic's in total(including brentwood and saxe) Some weren't the best but others are in are Photo memory...Thank You for sharing your thoughts and Memorys,pic's and smiles of F.F.2010 Larry/aka urban Eagle




P.S are applogies for haveing to leave a little early,but when we plan these event's on work days ,Well personaly I don't think it works in are Favour...eg. Great idea for Lafarge,but a work day,How are we to get the freinds and familys of this Company to show up ...hard to get money out of a working man if he has to take time off work .(My Personal Opinion)
P.S.S. I know my spelling needs work LOL
