Ma can be seen making her last attempt to feed little FSV51, before it topples over, too weak to get back up. FSV51 was 4 days younger than its siblings, at one day old 😪😪 RIP FSV51 💔🐣🙏🕊

Both parents are banded:

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, 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. 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."
