Bald Eagles spotted

[sniper7]

I am consistantly seeing 3 bald eagles behind my house. I am hoping the DOW can observe them and hopefully keep the land from being developed. Since they are endangered and trying to re-coup in colorado hopefully they can do something to protect them.

Anybody know whether or not anything can be done to stop development for endangered species? especially our Country's Bird.

I will try to get some pictures of them and post them on here. They have been doing a pretty good job on prairie dogs. I just watched on this morning swoop in and snatch a smaller p-dog and carry him off

Depends on the developement... Last summer/fall I was up by Ft. Lupton, doing a project for the City of Aurora.. They Had all sorts of rules and regulations about the Eagles.. For the most part the most stringent were during nesting season....

Pretty cool one day, We was making up control cabinets, and there were two of them just riding the air currents above us.. Got a few pictures with the phone,, can't really tell that they are Eagles though.

Its worth a phone a call.

I have a Bald Eagle habitat by my house. It is pretty nice has a dirt walking/running/riding trail along the outside of it. Every time I run the trail or ride my bike on the trail I see one catch themselves a prairie dog for chow.

Didn't know. It still shows them as such on the DOW website.

theres a place near the springs they have been trying to develop for 10+ year but they cant because of a mouse!

Yeah it isn't widely known I'm finding. Still super protected in a ton of ways, illegal for non-native Americans to have feathers, carcasses, ect.. but the US Fish and Wildlife Service is the organization that is charged with maintaining the Endangered Species lists.

Also something you all might not know is that here in Denver is the National Eagle Repository. 99% of all Eagle (Bald and Golden) carcasses are processed at that facility. The feathers are harvested and delivered to tribes, museums and such.. cool place.
