Fort St.Vrain, Bald Eagle Mom, feeds her 2 day old twin eaglets, FSV49 & 50... Hatched on the same day! ๐ฃ๐๐ฃHatch-watch is on for egg #3! ๐๐ฅ๐
This is an All-American Heartland Favorite Nest, weighing over 2500 lbs! So huge... it can be seen by the International Space- Station! HAPPY HATCHING, FSV51! ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐
Both parents are banded:
"MA" with a band on both legs.
"PA" with a band on his right leg.
What does the Fort St. Vrain bald eagle site look like? The eaglesโ 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, probably weighs between 2200 and 2700 feet, and is large enough to be seen on satellite! The nest is located in a cottonwood on the banks of the St. Vrain River near Platteville, CO, on property owned by Xcel Energy. Weโre 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."
