  • It started snowing last evening and by morning several inches have accumulated. I guess Ma got tired of waiting for Pa to come to the nest and went looking for him. She was gone for over thirty minutes. She was probably looking for food and or Pa. I'm glad the eaglets had each other to help stay warm. If the link doesn't work for the livestream it's because the cams went offline. They use solar power. Thanks for watching!

    **In case you missed it on Facebook, Mom's ankle band numbers were sent off to USGS. Mom was banded in Colorado in May 15, 2002 at age 45 days. She is 22 years old! Her natal nest is 45 miles east of FSV along South Platte corridor. She has hatched 51 eaglets of which 19 died on the nest, 30 survived to fledge . Thank you Lisa Levesque for posting this information!* The full post can be seen on Fort St. Vrain's Eagle Cam Facebook page.

    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.

      Not known . It was very warm on the nest that day. The parents had not been brooding them much because it was so warm. The other two eaglets were getting out of the egg cup, moving about. They do need to be covered for about two weeks in extreme temperatures. Could have been any number of things.
