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."
