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. The current eagle pair as of fall 2025 is a female approximately 23 years old. She is banded with a bracelet on each ankle. Pa seemed immature when he and Ma got together. He had to learn how to incubate eggs and feed young. Ma had her hands full for a while trying to teach him. He has learned the ropes and has done a great job of being a dad to the eaglets the last two seasons for sure. One of their eaglet's FSV44 was also banded and was confirmed to be male.

Mom was banded in Colorado in May 15, 2002 at age 45 days. She is 22 years old! Her natal nest is 45 miles east of FSV along South Platte corridor. She has hatched 51 eaglets of which 19 died on the nest, 30 survived to fledge . Thank you Lisa Levesque for posting this information!
