Eagles like Annie are letting us in on a lot of secrets
The West Vancouver bald eagle is now one of a handful in the region we can keep a constant eye on as her every movement is tracked, logged and shared with researchers, wildlife advocates and the public.
Before she was ready for release, the Hancock Wildlife Foundation deemed Annie would be a good candidate for a tracker. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation, which he founded after becoming one of the world’s foremost experts on eagles, was later one of the early adopters of live-streaming technology when they trained cameras nests.
It’s a bit of a task to carefully get an eagle into a Teflon harness, Hancock said, but if the birds are bothered by the backpack or concerns about their privacy, they haven’t raised it with him. Since her return in October, Annie’s map looks like a toddler’s scribbling of multiple trips per day from her nest north of Lighthouse Park to West Grebe Islet, a rocky outcropping recently donated to the District of West Vancouver for environmental protection. There, she and her mate perch on a Canadian Coast Guard beacon, and hunt.
Hancock estimates the 35,000 or so eagles that pass through each year outnumber our own local breeding population by a ratio of about 35 to one. “The eagles are really pressed and I have predicted that over the next few years, there’s going to be an absolute disaster and we may be already experiencing it,” Hancock said.
