Xcel Energy has an "Eagle Cam" set up with photos taken every two minutes. You can access the cam at: http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/eagle_day.asp<http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/eagle_day.asp>. Eagle Cam<javascript:popUp('videoindex.html?cam=eagle')> Active: February - May Fort St. Vrain Station, Platteville, CO "Our Eagle Cam features a bald eagle nest at Xcel Energy's Fort St. Vrain Station near Platteville, Colorado. A small camera has been mounted on a tree limb about six feet above the next. A solar panel with storage batteries powers the camera and associated equipment, and a video signal from the camera is sent to a wireless transmitter that sends the signal to a receiver at the plant. To help conserve power, a photocell shuts down the system at dusk and turns it back on just before dawn. Nesting season is a sensitive time for eagles. If you live in the area, we ask that you not try to visit the nest on our property. Bald eagles need quiet and privacy to breed and raise their young. Please enjoy them from your computer! In addition to providing streaming video, photos for the day are saved in two-minute increments and are archived in the Daily Pix section. Local time, Mountain Standard Time (MST), is used for these images."
