:wave Sandy: Thanks for checking on the nest :thumbsup I will try to get out there again within the next few days and hopefully will get some pix. This nest is big and unless you stay there for hours you might not see any eaglets until they are at least 6 weeks old :roll:

Got this photo of both Ma and Pa Brentwood early this evening from W Saanich Rd close to Sluggett Rd. Did not see any young ones at the nest.

Elle; a wonderful photo of Ma and Pa. I have never seen them at Sluggett and West Saanich when I go by. Forgot to mention when I posted on Tuesday that down near Wallace and Keating X Rd I saw 4 Juvies floating on the thermals.

Kay; I am hoping that you will be able to confirm that I did indeed see 2 heads in the nest and maybe there is a 3 rd as well. Find it hard to see as there are so many leaves; which is wonderful on these hot days.

Sandy

________

First time I have seen them there too.

Are you sure they were juvies and not turkey vultures?

Thanks Kay for getting the beautiful pictures of the Eagles a Brentwood and for confirming that I did see 2 Eaglets. They have a lovely shaded nest even though it is difficult at times to see the pair of Eaglets. Do you have any idea of how old the Parents are of these babies. They seem to do an excellent job of raising their young every year. They are close to water and also have the grassy fields surrounding them.

Sandy

I stopped by the nest on Lochside Road, there are two eaglets sitting on the side of the nest almost ready to go and the one in Brentwood looks as if there are also two eaglets about the same size in that nest. Sassyk might like to know that that was the end of the herons for this year. They are all GONE. Solley.

:wave solley: What a tragedy for the herons :eccry Sandy was quite sure when I was there that day and met you, that there weren't any eggs or chicks left :eccry Thanks for letting me know the herons have all left. Are you going to join us at Fledge Fest :?:

There was a news segment on GlobalTV the other night about the heronry in Stanley Park. The raccoons are eating the eggs and chicks and there aren't many left :eceek Here's the link to the site; click 'Videos' on the top bar, click 'News Hour' under 'Global Video', click 'Stories' on the right side of the page, then click the video 'Killer Raccoons'. Very sad situation indeed :(
http://www.globaltv.com/globaltv/bc/index.html

solley: You may not be aware that we have a dedicated thread for the Lochside Dr. eagles, as well as this one for the Brentwood eagles and other eagles in various areas. It is on the 'Nest in BC With Ground Observers' forum. Please feel free to post your observations and pix on the Lochside Dr. thread anytime. We welcome any and all observations and pix on all eagles that are observed by individual members :thumbsup There are a lot of threads for various nests throughout BC and some very nice pix :thumbsup

I visited the Brentwood nest yesterday, on my way to Pat Bay and the Sidney nest. I had to drive down the road and turn around so I could park on the side of the road and just before I stopped the car an adult flew from the nest tree area, out over the big field across the road and soared higher and higher out of sight. As I was getting my cameras out of the trunk, one of the eaglets was flapping its wings madly and by the time I got my camera set up it had stopped. It was in the nest but jumped to a branch behind the nest. The other eaglet was perched on the side of the nest and sat there preening and staring at me the entire time I was there. Darn, I missed capturing the action again :x Here are a few pix of the eaglets; you have to look through the branches and leaves on the left side of the nest to see the 2nd eaglet but it is quite visible in the 1st pic. I took a few small videos and will upload them to my album later. Click pix bigger!

Great pictures Kay of the Brentwood eaglets. The parents have cerainly chosen a nicely sheltered tree in which to build their nest and the nest is huge. I will going out to SPH next week ; wonder if they will have fledged by then.

After all the excitement of Tiny's fall and Fledge Fest, I found time to prepare some pix and videos I took last Friday when elle and I visited the Brentwood eagles. I set up my camera on the tripod and took some videos. The eaglets didn't do much other than sit on the side of the nest for the longest time, and then finally they both gave us a good show of wingersizing :thumbsup In the first 2 pix the 2nd eaglet is on the branch to the left of the nest and there is an adult in the nest. In the 3rd pic, the 2nd eaglet is in the nest and the adult is behind the leaves on the right of the nest. Click pix bigger. I will put a few videos in my gallery.

I went to the Brentwood nest yesterday before heading out to Pat Bay but there were no eagles in sight :ecnono I walked up and down the road looking in all the trees but didn't see them. I checked all the trees around Sluggett Ave. where the adults quite often perch but they weren't there. I took a few pix of the nest and it is possible the eaglets were lying down or on a branch at the back of the nest. Here's a pic. Click bigger.

I went by the Brentwood nest on Sunday; there were no eagles in the nest tree or in the surrounding trees. I headed home via West Saanich Road and spotted both of them in one of their favourite fir trees on Sluggett Road. Here are a couple of pix. I don't know what Dad was looking at but it was probably a crow; I remember hearing them cawing :ecrolleyes Click bigger.

I went to the Brentwood nest yesterday afternoon before heading out to Pat Bay. I drove up and down the side streets near the nest site and didn't see them anywhere. Just after I turned onto Wallace Dr. one of them flew over the road, circled the nest tree, then landed in the nest. I parked the car (half over someone's driveway :roll: ) and got my camera out just in time to see the other one flying in for a landing in the nest tree. They both sat there for about 10 minutes chattering to each other, then one flew out over the road, circled around and landed in a tree down the road. After moving my car to the other side of the road, I walked to where the eagle was perched in the tree (I think it was Mom) and took some pix. These first few pix are of Mom flying over the road to the nest tree; Dad is already in the nest. Click pix bigger.

The final few pix of Mom Brentwood perched in the tree down the road from the nest tree. I had to use the flash and she gave me a look that made me think she was annoyed at me :roll: In the 3rd pic, I was right beside the tree she was perched in; closer but a lot of small branches in the way.
