Fort St. Vrain Eagle Cam
Watch live cams broadcasting the Fort St. Vrain Bald Eagles nest. This eagle pair(Ma & PA) usually lay eggs in late February to early March. The eggs then hatch after about 34-36 days in early to mid April. The young juvenile eagles usually fledge sometime in June or July.
It’s known that Ma eagle hatched in 2002 at a nest about 45 miles away from this one. Ma is 23 years old! We don’t know the males age.

The nest is about 9ft around and 8ft deep. It sits about 56ft up in the air in a cottonwood tree and weighs around 2500lbs. The nest is located next to the St. Vrain River near Platteville, CO, on property owned by Xcel Energy. The age of the nest is unknown, but we do know that the Rapture Resource Project first put a camera up in the nest tree back in 2003 and the nest was well established at that time.

Hi Deborah. I so hope that they will have successful hatches.
that would be great if they all hatch, I have never seen that before
Nor have I. 3 before but that was lots of works for the adults.
Aren’t you up north near the storm? If so, I hope you are doing well.

Just tuned in to the Keokok Lock cam and they got snow and lots of wind. The lock opened 2 days ago and several tows went thought to open the season.
