Bald eagle chicks will be hatching all around the south coast in the coming days — some in more unusual places than others.

For years, two eagles have made their nest in one of the few remaining trees along Vancouver's industrial waterfront. Even though the area is noisy, they keep coming back.

"This pair has a really good record. Last year they raised three young," David Hancock of the Hancock Wildlife Foundation said. "The year before they did the same. That's incredibly productive."

Eagles usually only raise one chick per year, Hancock said.

The pair has also garnered a fan base among staff at the Deeks-Lafarge cement company located near the birds' nest.

The company has even pitched in to preserve the eagles' location to ensure they keep coming back. It fortified the tree the eagles are living in and built an artificial perch nearby in case the tree eventually rots or falls into the water.

On Thursday, Hancock set a camera beside the nest to catch the eagles' every move.

"It's life in the slow lane. They aren't doing much," he said. "But that lets you appreciate what they do do."
