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.

apparently just two chicks for this nest, I believe the other two are past hatch date
egg #3 probably won’t hatch but there is still hope for egg #4
Egg 3 was laid on 3/2 and Egg 4 was laid on 3/6, hatch watch around 4/7 and 4/10. 🙏
I don’t remember. Anyone know if both remaining eggs are now past viability or not?
@EagleGal1
Temp is 75 currently and egg 3 is almost 41 days and egg 4 is 36 days…We are still hoping egg 4 will hatch…it’s warm enough and developed enough that they do not need to sit on the eggs….this is from their YouTube account
One very odd looking egg
Here’s a closer view
Yep noticed that too…
Two pips or only dirt on the eggs or even shadows on them…?
awesome! I’m gonna guess pips because it is that time
🙏
a pip or poop on egg on the left?
