The Fort St. Vrain bald eagle Egg #3 arrived quietly, completing what many had hoped would be another strong clutch this season.
On the evening of February 11, 2026, something wild happened at the Fort St. Vrain bald eagle nest. Pa, the male eagle, flew in carrying a prairie dog. But this was not an easy meal. The prairie dog was still alive, ready to fight, and tried to escape. What happened next felt like a movie.
