Raptor Resource Project: Bald Eagle and Bird of Prey Cams

A second egg for Fort St. Vrain? A first egg for Trempealeau? What we’re looking forward to this week!

What are we looking forward to this week? Here’s what’s on our list!

Second and third eggs at Xcel Energy’s Fort St. Vrain Bald Eagle nest!
Ma FSV usually lays three eggs. If she follows her usual pattern, she’ll lay her second egg this afternoon (Monday, February 25) and her third on Thursday or Friday. Her third egg has generally been less predictable than her second. Link: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/xcel-energy-cams/.
A first Bald Eagle egg at Trempealeau!
What are you waiting for, Mrs. T? Link: https://www.raptorresource.org/trempealeau-eagles/.
Watching Peregrine Falcons at GSB and US Bank La Crosse.
These nestboxes are about five miles apart as the falcon flies and it’s fairly common to see falcons exploring both sites this time of the year. We saw Zazu 18/B at US Bank two weeks ago and at GSB last week. Falcons are back, baby!

Ice Out on the Mighty Miss?
With the sudden outbreak of warm weather, it’s likely the ice will begin to clear. Will we see migratory birds this week? Keep your eyes peeled! We’re beginning to see swans and Canada geese, and we’ll be starting Peregrine Falcon surveys on Thursday. Link: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/flyway-cam/.

Eyes to the Skies!
