Vancouver, BC -- March 21, 2008
I FINALLY was at the eagles' nest by the Jericho Youth Hostel to witness them mating!
After countless hours and several weeks of waiting, my patience has paid off.

  • That's a gay bird... Or those males like giving each other piggyback rides.

  • @yourenot huh?? why would you say you think they are both males?

  • I thought they lock talons in mid-air to mate?

  • @shaunoftheundead that is a courtship ritual. the actual mating takes place on a surface, the male's something-sac needs to . . . whatever someone else explained I don't know the details. The talon-locking thing is a courtship they usually do before mating season but also year-round.

    I'm still waiting for the day I get a shot of that, eagles locked together spiralling fast towards the earth, I've seen it but unfortunately missed it with the camera.

  • like where's the sex at?

  • @swalclaws like the sex is at the top of the tree when he gets up on her back, 1:12 to 1:20

  • Fantastic Footage !!! Thank you for your patience

  • Almost any other species and this would be more than I ever needed to see, but it's so great to see them doing well after we almost destroyed them. They're beautiful birds.

  • As seen on

    JK. Great video!

  • @yourenot you know those are males how?

  • Sometimes i really wonder how the species survives....

  • @shaunoftheundead I think that is fighting......the first that lets go loses.

  • @swalclaws that's pretty much the mating and that's about how chickens do it, too.

  • Great video!
