New Bald Eagle nest in Boulder County

[Kat Bradley-Bennett]

I've heard from a friend who owns a farm west of Longmont that there a pair of Bald Eagles are building a nest along the St. Vrain River corridor, between his farm and the farm southwest of him.  I haven't seen the site yet, so I can't confirm exactly where it is yet, but somewhere north of the Boulder County Open Space offices on St. Vrain Road.

Just so folks know, we have a volunteer keeping an eye on the nesting activity in that area for our Bald Eagle Watch monitoring program that has been ongoing along the Front Range for 25 years. If you'd like more information about the Bald Eagle Watch program, please visit http://rmbo.org/v3/OurWork/Science_/CitizenScience/BaldEagleWatch.aspx

Thanks!
