On a private portion of the White Rock bluff overlooking Boundary Bay is a small grove of evergreens. One tree, only about 100 feet from the back porch of the home, had an eagle nest in it. The owner donated the installation of three pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras for us to watch this active eagle nest \u2013 a close-up cam looking down into the nest, a wide-angle cam in a neighbouring tree that provides a spectacular view of Boundary Bay (and of young eagles learning to branch), and a territory cam that shows more of the area around the nest.\u00a0 The eagles raised two chicks in 2010, and the first cams were installed for the 2011 nesting season.\u00a0 The eagles built a new nest in a nearby tree in 2016, and the close-up camera was moved and a fourth camera added for 2017.\u00a0 As of fall 2023, we have watched as 16 young eagles fledged successfully and seen a number of spectacular sunsets over Boundary Bay.<\/p>\n
Mom and Dad returned in mid-October again this year, and they are spending a lot of time around the nest with the cams, so we’re hoping they will use it again this year.\u00a0 There is lots more information, pictures and videos on our forum starting here – https:\/\/forum.hancockwildlife.org\/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=715<\/a>.<\/p>\n March 9, 3:13 pm – first egg laid!\u00a0 Posts on forum start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n March 12, 7:44 pm – second egg!\u00a0 Posts start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n April 15, 5:59 am – first hatch!\u00a0 Posts start here<\/a>.<\/p>\n April 17 – second hatch around 4:22 am – posts start here<\/a>.\u00a0 The chicks were named Whiskey and Xray (link<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”100%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” make_fullwidth=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”WR Closeup” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_4_font=”|600|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#6d7d5e” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWhite Rock West\/Closeup<\/h4>\n
