Fort St Vrain Eagles ~ FSV53 & 54 Break Free From Rails As Ma Feeds Them! Both Safe Under Ma 4.12.25

It was a roller coaster ride of a day at the nest. We sadly lost the oldest eaglet FSV52 when it went to the rails to cool off from a very warm day and slipped through the rails & fell off the nest. The other two eaglets, 53 & 54 went to opposite ends of the nest rails to cool off and appeared stuck for several hours. Both parents would come & leave the the nest during the afternoon hours - voices were heard below the nest. Finally Ma returned and she went right to the food pantry and began to offer food to 54 who was stuck in the rails. 53 was able to free itself and crawl over to Ma & start getting fed. She gave them a good feeding & both had full crops. But 54 was still stuck in the rails. Ma begins to move these two sticks that were in the center of the nest and 54 was able to crawl out of the rails and back on the nest! Ma was still working on that stick and she ends up putting it on 54! Helmets needed please! lol Ma finally gets the stick to the side & 54 crawls back to the nest bowl and under Ma to join 53. They were exhausted from today's activities and the heat! Cooler weather is in store for tomorrow and for the rest of the week which should be a relief for the eagle family. Thank you for watching!

Pa FSV was captured and banded as an adult by a wildlife biologist working with the Denver International Airport - his age is unknown. 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, and probably weighs between 2200 and 2700 pounds! 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. After the primary limb supporting the nest fell in August of 2020, RRP Director John Howe worked with Xcel Energy to put up a new bionic limb and restore the nest. The eagles gave it their seal of approval just a few days later!
