Excel Energy-FSV EC-Raccoon Attacks Eagle Nest-Takes 6 Week Old Eaglet- RIP F45-Both Cams_5.23.22
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2022
- DISCLAIMER: (Viewer Discretion Advised) At around 7 pm MT The raccoon climbs up the nest tree and takes food from the nest. It retreats for a few moments then returns and gets the oldest of the two eaglets, F45, who bravely stood up to the raccoon and tried to ward it off with outstretched wings. F45 was taken alive and pulled over the side of the nest as the raccoon retreated in haste when the parent returned to the nest. The parent (Dad) gave chase to the coon and for the next hour or so an eagle is seen flying around the nest tree and vocalizing until after dark. Then the parent returns to the nest and stays with F46 for the remainder of the night. I have not seen both parents on the nest today. The Colorado Wildlife Agency arrived within the hour of being called to search for the eaglet. Amazing!!! Many thanks we give to you for your speedy arrival and attention to this matter. They found FSV 45's remains and took them to be tested for Avian Influenza. Our hearts are broken! RIP Sweet Baby.
The night before Mom had brought a young live raccoon to the nest and fed it to the eaglets. Was this a random unrelated visit by a hungry raccoon or was there more to it? Might it have been looking for it's baby? My heart goes out to all the viewers and to Mom & Pa Eagle parents!

What does the Fort St. Vrain bald eagle site look like? The eagles' nest (FSV-N0) is 9 x 8 feet wide, eight feet high, and 57 feet off the ground. It has a perimeter of about 26 feet, a total area of about 56 feet, and probably weighs between 2200 and 2700 pounds! The nest is located in a cottonwood on the banks of the St. Vrain River near Platteville, CO, on property owned by Xcel Energy. We’re not sure how old it is, but Bob Anderson and Rob MacIntyre put the first cam system up in 2003, when the nest was already well established. FSV-N0 is built primarily of cottonwood branches (the dominant tree in many river systems out west) and lined with prairie grass. After the primary limb supporting the nest fell in August of 2020, RRP Director John Howe worked with Xcel Energy to put up a new bionic limb and restore the nest. The eagles gave it their seal of approval just a few days later.

I had viewed the nest and wondered what happened to the other eaglet. I knew there were 2 and had been watching them. I had noticed the food was not fish but other small rodent looking animals.This is so heartbreaking. I appreciate Xcel Energy for sponsoring this nest. I would love to see timestamps and date. Rip F45.
Thank you for the detailed update. It is great that Xcel Energy provides the nest cams. It is too bad there is no live chat or comment feature or even date time clock. Not as many viewers as Big Bear or Redding, etc. No names for the eaglets. I am calling this eaglet Braveheart and the surviving one Zoee (life). Zoee is 6 weeks old today!
I love the names and I agree, a chat room and date/time stamp would be very nice!
What a brave child!
Brave heart is a very suitable name for a truly outstanding individual.
@@faithhutton1459 Did you see the raccoon in the nest in the last hour or so? Very tense. It was in a hole on the side of the nest that can be seen from the side view cam. Mom was freaking. It appears to be gone now.
Beautiful and such appropriate names for the eaglets.. 🤗❣️🤗❣️Be strong Zoee!! 💞
@@kathleenmccaffery1313 The raccoon returned two days later. I have three videos. Thankfully Ma chased it away and Zoee survived. She had to spend the next 5 weeks alone, but she fledged perfectly on July first! She returned three hours later and has come and gone every day since!
This nest could have used a badass parent like Jackie in big bear or M in FL. Those eagles seem way more protective of their nests.
The Dad at this nest is thought to be fairly young. The eagle parents at those nests are older and more experienced. The Raccoon came back the next night and the mom did a great job keeping it from coming onto the nest. Wish she had been there before it happened instead of arriving when the Raccoon was leaving with FSV45. I think it would have been a different outcome.
Jackie & Shadow failed their offspring the past two years. They lost Cookie to hypothermia two years ago and lost both eggs to ravens last year when they left the nest unguarded. Nature is harsh. Only 50% of the young survive to adulthood.
Just thinking about Momma Jackie makes me smile Lizzy😊🌹
What a brave little eaglet❤
Sorry for the loss.
It was so hard to watch and so sad! I felt so sorry for the little one, must've been so scared! Heartbreaking to see it fall down :( RIP little Eaglet and soar freely now) parents please take care of the other chick!
um, its nature. not sad.
The Parents aren't protecting them...The other Eaglet just sat there like whatever...That Raccoon will come back and take the other one due to it being next easy Prey and that the Parents aren't protecting them...
But I want to do you care about all the animals that were literally ripped apart alive to feed these vicious things.
It’s not soaring anywhere, it’s been eaten and turned into calories within the raccoons body. You shouldn’t get so sentimental over what is after all just nature.
A lot of good the parent eagle did. He watched. That's about it.
That eaglet was dead the moment that raccoon grabbed it by the neck. Did you see the eaglets body posture go limp immediately? I didn't see any movement from the eaglet past that grab.
You're special.
For reals
There was some movement. I watched it at least 6 times and its clear, there were movement. I don’t believe the Eagle knew what was happening until he heard growls of the raccoon.
What would it do? It can't win and if it dies it can't breed
The eaglet didn't go down without a fight..great spirit, But raccoons are notorious to come back..so be careful parents
😭I am so 😔 sad over this
The parents should have saved their eaglet .no need for that to happen.
Wow it really tried to fight for its life even as a baby. I have seen blue jays defend their nest better.
Blue Jays don’t mess around and they are surprisingly larger than they look. That maybe when they keep swooping at your head while you are trying to cut your grass though…lol
@@shannonspage9360 lol
Blue jays have intelligence in their favour. Eagles are huge and strong but also a bit stupid.
Jays are nest robbers as well. I've seen them attack and drive off red wing blackbirds, then take their time whilst consuming the nestlings. Their head and beak are constructed very similar to a woodpecker, very useful as a weapon. In the Eagles defense, they are too large and can't attack as the branches and nest material are in their way. Nest robbers are sneaky attackers, doing their deed whilst the parents are foraging.
What brave eaglet, it's a cycle🥺🥺R.I.P F45
Sorry to hear about RIP F45 as very sad and brave.. number of F45 same as his/her parent of eagles for 46th now?
So sad he fought for his life and his brother RIP.
O que aconteceu a águia conseguiu pegar o casaco
Ahh I'm so sad. This breaks my heart
So sad...😥
Don't you remember yesterday, you ate a baby racoon ? Today, the racoon wants to taste a baby eagle. Not that easy eeeehhhh ????
So sad, the poor baby didn't have a chance. Mom or Dad should have been protecting the babies.
Yes. Ideally, one parent out hunting and one on nest at all times.
Kinda amazed me puzzling 🤔 why parents doesn't fight fierce for their eaglets??
The lack of fight in the eagle when it returned to witness what was happening is disappointing, but not surprising. Hen chickens, roosters, (particularly game breeds), and turkeys frequently repel, even brutalize hawks and eagles when their chicks are targeted. After seeing a murder of crows mob and run off 3 bald eagles from a carcass, I realized eagles simply didn't match the top tier perspective I'd had of them.
That is sooo sad
Great hunter!
One of the only animals that will take on an Eaglet and put it’s own life in harm’s way to get the Eagles chick!!!
i was upset at first, you know. but then i saw in a different video that the mother brought a live baby raccoon once. you took one, you lose one of your own. both babies got killed in a cruel way. i had no clue before that these types of eagles go for such big animals... and kill them slowly. i thought they only go for small stuff and if not that they'd kill them before pulling them apart. never seen it before. i think the raccoon and eagle are even now. painful and traumatic for both babies. i hope they're in a better place now. also... it happened right one day after the eagle killed the baby raccoon. i got a feeling it must have been the mother following the scent of its baby.
❤
Raptor Resource Project when setting up cameras in the future should wrap hard plastic around the tree to prevent raccoons, martens, and weasels from getting into the nests.
They actually installed a metal sheet around the tree. Thanks RRP
Good
How did you get cam up there.
It was installed by the Raptor Resource Project. Tall ladders or bucket trucks
The begining, the raccoon smell the pelt leftover from the pup and took it away. So it must be the parent.
It will be back for the 2nd one.
Brave little eaglet 😢
This would of been a time that Bonnie the GHO would of been needed--to dive bomb the raccoon(s). There are no raccoons in state I live in and after seeing this, I am glad! I am hoping for nothing but the best for FSV46 and its parents.
Very painful
This is why patents want them to leave after a certain period of time. If the babies stay in the nest, they only become preys, nothing else.
I imagine that raccoon will have no trouble taking the other one when it gets hungry next. The second eaglet looks like a sitting duck. At least the first one put up some kind of resistance
The surviving eaglet is flying now so hopefully he wont have anymore encounters with raccoons
@@chickiedee64 felt so bad for the adult eagle. I can’t believe the chicks weren’t alarm calling
Being the aggressive chick doesn't always work in your favor. The passive of the two chicks survived which was likely relieved because the more aggressive chick likely beat up on it all the time which is why it was submissive. In bald Eagles nests usually only one chick survives due to o e being the more dominant aggressive chick.
@@shannonspage9360 that’s not been what I’ve witnessed. I have witnessed more bald eagles nest fledge two or three chicks successfully than not. All comes down to the availability of food.
How to say this nicely... the other chick can't be bothered because one less chick means more food for them. The mother doesn't care because she knows it's a loss cause and it saves her from extra hunting.
Where was mom and/or dad?
The parents were probably hunting
I am in the middle of watching the video and was just about to ask if the eaglets call out a distinctive call for their mom when they are in danger? But, then the mom shows up to the nest and watches the raccoon attack her baby and doesn't do anything at all to help it. Some people are saying now the mom won't be as stressed feeding just one, but isn't she worried about the raccoon coming back for the last eaglet? I thought the mom would instinctively try to fight off any predator that is attacking their young? Especially, if they are smaller like raccoons. We have seen Eagles kill foxes and foxes are larger than raccoons in every dimension. Eagles are larger then both hawks and owls as well and they are major predators to raccoons. So, I am just very curious why momma let the raccoon kill her eaglet without even trying to help it?
You couldn't really see what happened to the eaglet except that it fell from nest....
Really appreciate the detail on what happened here in this beautiful nest in Colorado.. RIP little eaglet.. Soar high in the heavens sweet angel.. You were strong and courageous to the very end. Your majestic spirit lives on in our hearts 🎀🦅😢
😥
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
R.I.P. little one....your life has ended before it has realy started.
Fly high.....
This is the sad part about nature. 😔😔
Sounds like the coon just got even
Justice was served against the eagle, hey raccoons got to eat too.
Title should be "First ever recorded revenge killing by a raccoon".
Why parents didn’t protect them or at least attacked it in order to leave it
I wondered that also. My guess is due to inexperience. The next night when the Raccoon returned Mom was much more in defense mode and the Raccoon eventually left
Did the raccoon killed the first one?
I do hope that racoon turned in to a full grow eagle´s lunch.

لقد دافع الصغير عن اخاه بشجاعة
Seems weird the adult eagle didn’t attack the raccoon when the baby was halfway out of the nest.
Its for the best. The last eaglet didn't have competition now. He/she will have a better chance at surviving
@@range_finder yes but if they lose that one then they won’t have any chicks. Plus it looked like the bigger chick was taken. Hopefully if they take better care of this one it’ll grow nice and strong, especially because like you mentioned it won’t have any competition now. Poor little fella that was taken did give it a fight ❤️
The adults are too large and unwieldy to fit between all that nest material and tree branches, can't climb up or down those restrictive tight spaces. They don't walk or run, they fly. They can't and don't take prey in limited enclosures because of their physiology. Consider chasing after that raccoon with your hands tied behind your back. That's how useless wings are in tight spaces and are no help in climbing. The route the raccoon took getting to the nest would be impossible for the eagle to duplicate.
The older one protected the younger one because the racoons lunged to grap the smaller one and big bro lost its life in an attempt to save him .that young eagle died a hero in my book.and mom needs eagle parenting classes she did nothing!!!
That is heartbreaking. Unfortunately it will come back for the second chick. They’re not one to leave any behind. I hope I’m wrong.
It did return the next evening but the mom eagle was ready and defended the nest and chick. Raccoon hasn't been back.
@@chickiedee64 I thought I saw another video where the last chick was taken. 😢
@@chickiedee64 That's good news. I figured for sure it would get the 2nd one.
Why didn't the Eagle take out the racoon on the ground ?
I wish I knew the answer to that. The male eagle is younger than the female. Maybe they just didn't know how to deal with the situation due to a lack of experience.
🙏😢💔
The eagle thought it was tough. The raccoon destroyed it and ate it.
I respect that raccoon. It got revenge.
Vivere rimane un arte che ognuno deve imparare e che nessuno può insegnare.( Viva il mondo animale, soprattutto gli uccelli) Cordiali saluti Italia . Auguri di un sereno Nuovo Anno 2023.
Great story! Love to hear when life fights back
It's sad but It's how nature works. Eagles take other animals life everyday and the same things happen to them some times.
👍
Unfortunately for the chick the raccoon realized that the eaglet didn't have level one peck attack thus returning for a second encounter. A sobering lesson to every raptor chick out there in the wild! It is time to build an active pecking game if you're trying to make it to a fledgling..
What do you mean by level one pecking attack..? This is my first year and that is definitely something I would like to know more about.. 😊🌹
its nature thats what happens get over it
@@kathleenmccaffery1313 InsomNiac plays too much Dungeouns and Dragons and alot of video games. Lol
@@robjanko3010 How Rude of you!!! Get over yourself, dont put others down for having feelings or questions. I had never heard of "pecking order", I have been watching Eagles for years 🦅🦅
@@karenrosgen4586 Pecking order never mentioned. Illmatic is in a delusional state.
😱😭💔
Tit for tat. You steal/kill one of mine, i do the same to you.... No need to get all teary-eyed over it....that's life (and death) in the wild.....
Hello kita hadir nonton video👍
Why didn't the adult eagle that came back step in and kill the racoon which looks like it was still there with one of the chicks???
That's a good question. It could be due to lack of experience. The next night mom eagle was much more defensive and stayed on the nest when the Raccoon returned. She guarded the nest and eaglet until it left.
Raccoon❤️
parents leave for so long
I could understand the responsibility of the elder eaglets, but you Chikiedee64 not sharing all the eyes sight much better views then what you've said?
Man that can't be coincidence with the raccoon baby and the eaglet, right? Wow...sad all the way around. What a brave baby bird he was!!!!! 🫣😭
He/She died protecting little brother/sister 😢
Please don’t humanize these wild animals
@@ZennaD please don't tell me what to feel.. Bye Now!!
@@lucillefav 🤡
@@lucillefav Give the chicks a couple more weeks, they'll be trying to kill each other. Second chick didn't do anything because "better them than me."
You are right, older chick will aways be aggressive while younger ones will be submissive
Bunch of small animals getting eaten by eagles, people : meh. An eagle getting eaten, people : oh poor little thing.
Poor thing. Bad this is, it will be back for the other eagle… it knows where there’s a good food source now. 🥺 Nature can be so cruel
I expected the parent to be more aggressive somehow. That's me and my ignorance. Realistically, what can a large bird do against a larger tooth, clawed mammal?
I am hoping the parents can protect the younger eaglet from more predation at the nest with intimidation.
@@faithhutton1459 an adult bald eagle could easily take on a raccoon. Their talons alone would rip it to shreds. 😉 Very unfortunate for this baby eaglet. It did give the raccoon a couple of really good wing slaps though.
Gettgarip... nature is not cruel... r u cruel for putting dead animals in YOUR belly?... Interesting that u did not say it was cruel when the eagle took a racoon baby to FEED its young/? Bunch of nit wits on here.
@@billhosko7723 It's all fun and dandy to share YOUR opinion, but calling people names is CRUEL! How old are you?
Dear Bill, thank you for your opinion on my post. Nice to hear your opinion on raccoons and nitwits.
Considering my interest was only in the nest occupant and it's rather untimely death. It was good of you to point out my cold and callous reaction to the secondary players in this drama. While your at it perhaps you could enlighten everyone hear on the other concerns nitwits may have. Where are the bees? I've seen only 2 this year. No fireflies, bats, and birds are sick.
Forever chemicals are in my well water.
I'm barely tolerant of Coca-Cola commercials claiming they want to recycle. Reproductive rights are being slashed, (something I fought hard for in the 70's). Racist violence, gun murder, and my country leaning toward fasterism.
I bet you have some crappy things you are thinking about too.
Grateful for your input.
Crazy that a raccoon is that bold. 🙀
He should be lucky the parents didn't kill him.
I've seen bolder from raccoons, but that coon was scary aggressive.
Where is mom and dad?
Exactly. It just wanted the Fish.
So refreshing to see one of them get chowed down!
i wish they moved the cam view up a lil i swear they're horrible at this
That is one bold raccoon. Going after a chick almost as big as you with parents that would make a meal out of you.
I have already seen this video clip. The Raccoon had a barrow under the nest! I think she go’s after it.
the mom doesn't defend her baby?
Mom tried, but probably never had a coon go after a baby before! She was frantic and I don't think she knew what to do. But the next night she was ready and waiting when he showed up again. He hasn't been back since!
Estaba 100% seguro que la mamá águila defendería si hijo polluelo , no tuvo el valor
Chick already deceased by the time the parent arrived.
Oh ! At 5:42am Mountain Time. I just saw Ma? Bring in prey. It looked like the face of a raccoon. I took a video with my phone at .25 slow speed on my laptop. The tail didn’t look bushy. Maybe it was a young one? I will try to post on my channel.
Oh please do! I took a screen shot and blew it up but it wasn't distinct. I wondered if it was a Raccoon!!!
Two friends that live in TX and LA say it looks like a mink. I didn't know we had mink here in CO. I looked at images online and there was one that had a similar masked face as a raccoon. The prey this morning didn't seem to have a bushy or striped tail. So, it could be a mink.
Just lost a lot of respect for eagles, the mom came back saw what happened and did nothing
there are devices that can be attached to the tree to keep
this from happening
They (RRP) actually did put a metal plate around the tree
@@chickiedee64 that's cool, you can never protect them 100%
How does one eaglet fight for its life but the other lays back down and acts like nothing is going on. No chips or nothing. Wow. Some sibling.
So u wanted it to chirp and hop around so it got carried off to be a meal as well?!
@@darkwitch8648 exactly. He played possum!
Very interesting to hear about the backstory, thanks for sharing. Did the racoon eat the eaglet? You said the remains were found but I wonder if it killed for revenge or for food.
I never heard any details. I assume it was eaten and assume the Raccoon consumed it.
Revenge lol. No animal takes revenge that is unique to human beings only
@@davidandrew6347 Probably true, but, we can't be certain. The raccoon could have smelled the baby raccoon, followed the scent up there, and then saw an opportunity for a feast or saw an opportunity to kill its competitors. But if it did smell the baby raccoon maybe it also thought it was fighting off it's attackers? It's impossible to know without asking the raccoon. It could also be just a random raccoon who found the nest and wasn't even related.
@@vivalabad6 raccoon wouldnt track down it's baby to that extent. Racoons regularly raid bird nests that is just what it was. No animal takes revenge thou is all I meant
@@davidandrew6347 cowbirds take revenge if their parasite babies don't live. They'll wipe out a nest in revenge.
Raccoons are vicious predators - not sure why we see videos of people saving them and their babies…complete pests
Beautiful!
I made the raccoon eat F45.
雛は勇敢でした！親鳥がもう少し早く巣に帰っていたら
助かったのではないでしょうか？
とても残念です。
Realmente nunca imaginé que las crías del águila tuvieran depredadores.
Why didnt the Adult Male Parent protect his nest and Eaglet?
By the time they realized what was happening, the raccoon already had the eaglet. I can only speculate, but I think due to inexperience. Raptor Resource Project installed a guard on the tree so hopefully, this won't happen again on this nest.
I kid you not, I watched this video, then turned to watch a documentary on a German forest. And the first part I watched, showed an owl mom who hid her baby owls on the forest floor in a hollow spot of wood, which the narrator said is NOT a good Mom move! Then they showed raccoons that are a PREDATOR for the babies! THEN they showed baby raccoons exploring in the same area! BTW the raccoons were introduced to Germany in the 1920s for fur farming, and over time animals would escape to the forests! They were desired for their fur because of North America's Racoon Coat market!!!! EW.
Kind of spooked me tho, just having seen the Eagle and the Raccoon lol. 🤣
funny!
I laughed at silly F45.
Parents were usefulless.
I don't understand why the other chick didn't react at all?
That was the younger sibling. Probably just too frightened. He did try to hide behind F45 the first time the Raccoon approached

Raccoon Revenge
Yep... and then all these hypocrites r on here 'crying' and carrying on.... good grief...
Rat-Coons are vicious, I've seen them take two of my neighbors cats, and a Pomeranian. Rat-Coons did severe damage to two of my manx cats that required surgery and caused severe infections. My Manx cats are now permanently indoors. Rat-Coons killed my ducks, geese, and chickens. Do your best to protect your pets! Rat-Coons don't give up!
Oh, my goodness! I'm sorry for your critters.
it's survival of the fittest. had anyone ever noticed how much road kill there is..? imagine being a fox or coyote and your mate or young doesn't return home.
After all ...as you call it ...rat-coons --are also part of wild life. If Eaglets feel hungry and their Mom-Dad bring fresh trout for them for Breakfast...Rat..Coon may have her small kids who are hungry.
At the end big loser is human who has grabbed almost the whole planet for it's kids. All the Jungles have been wiped off. People watch Discovery, Animal Planet, Geographic channels merely for entertainment...for not doing something concrete for the rehabilitation of disappearing wildlife so rapidly. Had we left the space in the form of jungles as their home,they wouldn't have arrived to eat domestic cats,chicks or dogs. Big Culprit is Human .
Raccoons are very tough animals.
rocket raccoon
Perhaps that raccoon that was fed to the eaglets had been climbing the tree with its mom and that’s why Ma or Pa grabbed it? I had never seen a raccoon as prey in this nest before, although I only see a small amount of what is happening.
That could be! There was a Raccoon either right before the eggs hatched or right after. Mom wingwhapped it and it left. I have a video of it in the playlist, sorry I'm not able to find the link right now. Must have been in sometime in mid April maybe.
I did see that video.
It went up there for the Fish. It tried to eat the fish--left then came back for the fish and the eaglet got caught up in it and the fish and eaglet were taken.
@@chickiedee64 why didn't the parent defend its babies?
It’s funny how the other eaglet couldn’t care less when his brother was being killed. Probably think it was good riddance: more food for me! See ya sucka’!
Isn't this one of the same babies that devoured his smaller sibling....I hope so
There were only two eggs that hatched at this nest, so no. Neither of these eaglets devoured a sibling. But sadly, it does happen at a lot of eagle nests
gosh my heart breaks hate nature when they do this...poor eagle im heartbroken!
I know it's hard to take and I have to say despite the rare instances I witnessed of heartbreak in the eagle world, the joy they give far outweighs the bad side of nature. Have a marvelous day!
@@chickiedee64 yes I understand that but still breaks my heart to see any animal suffer,,,,, and then to see this how momma n papa eagle take care of there young and to see it one them get devowed by a raccoon ,,i cried watching that,,,,, and imnot a fan of birds but when started to watch eagle life few years back now i love them we have 3 bord feeeders in our yard n water baths and 6 bird tree houses,,,, we have hundreds of species of birds fly around in our back yeard so fin to watch,,,,,
@@hairyitalianboy Gettagrip... the eagles took a coon baby and fed its young... and the babies of countless other animals...
Why did the idiot hawk just watch the baby get eaten
Not a Hawk nest, it's an Eagle nest
What a chicken Eagle. Why didn't kill the racoon. It just sat there and watched its chick get taken.
That's a very good question we all would like the answer to. It could be the parents, having never experienced this situation, just did not know what to do. Survival is the first instinct. When there is a threat, the victim attempts to remove themselves from harms way. Flight or fight. I don't know. 🤔
Parents defence and attack was poor and useless
