Fort St.Vrain, Bald Eagle Mom, feeds her 2 day old twin eaglets, FSV49 & 50... Hatched on the same day! ๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿ’ž๐ŸฃHatch-watch is on for egg #3! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฅš๐ŸŒŸ
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! ๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ™

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. Weโ€™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."
