Trainspotting
Spotting bald eagles in Colorado is getting easier by the day. This youngster was perched in a very busy and noisy location along Highway 2 in Colorado. Watch as the big bird is taking everything in that is happening on both sides of his or her perch.

Red Tail on Point
Просмотров 226День назад
When looking for raptors, such as the common red-tailed hawk, sometimes it can be more productive in the long run to look for raptor graffiti. Once you have found it, and depending on how much you find in one location, you can be assured that you have discovered a local territory for a raptor. This video brings the point home at the intersection of art and nature. Enjoy, and please subscribe to...

Election day, 2024, Peter visited the Commerce City bald eagle nest we are featuring on a regular basis on this channel. He dropped in to see if the mated pair had returned from their summer sojourns and he got lucky. The pair were perched not far from their nest enjoying the mid-day sun. Stay tuned as we continue covering this nest for the 2025 nesting season.

Very Rare Red-tailed Hawk
Просмотров 268Месяц назад
Back to more from the Knolle Farm & Ranch visit early October, 2024 where we heard about a white hawk not too far from the ranch. As luck would have it, on the morning of the day we were leaving, we took one last trip down an old barely paved road that borders the ranch and came across this stunning white bird. At first it almost looked like a snowy owl parked on the post. Using the full 1365mm...

Buckley Buteo

If you drive south from 136th to 120th Avenues on Buckley Road during the summer months, you'll almost always see one or two Swainson's hawks. There are actually two pairs nesting within a half mile of each other this year. The northernmost nest is on the east side of Buckley Road in the trees adjacent to the road, but the foliage is so dense Peter hasn't been able to find the nest after five y...

    I’ve actually heard Bald Eagles sneeze on the many live streams of nest cams. They make a quick puff of air and a brief “choo” sound. So yeah, the sneezing is similar to us, but not quite the same!

  • @laurachapman1829
    @laurachapman1829 4 месяца назад

    Much new information that I did not know. I thought that once they left the nest it was a done deal. It makes perfect survival sense to go back to where food was regularly provided. And the eagle parent, needing for the juvenile to hunt on its own, has to provide what we human’s call “tough love”. Very enjoyable video, but the narration makes a big difference in understanding what has happened before to provide context to what the viewer is seeing.

    Thank you so much for posting these videos. They make my day! Back in 1989 and 1990, I had the fortunate opportunity to be a member of CDOW’s (now CPW) Peregrine Falcon Recovery Team, more affectionately known as “Jerry’s Kids”, named after Jerry Craig, one of the main people responsible for the recovery of the peregrine in Colorado. As part of the job, we surveyed known and potential nesting sites throughout the state, then banded the young. Some of us were then also assigned to hacking out 5 infant peregrines at different sites around the state. I was assigned to a site near Buena Vista, but had the opportunity to go to several other hack sites including LoDo. So, to see these birds brings things full circle. Currently work in LoDo and in the past I have spotted peregrines zipping by my 15th floor office window, but I have passed them off as passage birds mainly due to the time of years, but with this new info, you can bet that I will start taking walks with my binoculars and maybe even a spotting scope. You’ll know it's me because I will have a big smile on my face. Thanks again!

    I have been following this nest for about three years and was thrilled this year to see what appeared to be parental feeding of nestlings about a month ago. I always take my Sony A6000 w/70-300 lens in an effort to capture any memories that I can. It was AMAZING to see this video captured by Raptor Education Foundation that SO exceeds what I can see through my eyes and my camera lens. This video makes it simple to recognize the larger female and also just how this pair interacts with one another. It was super fun to see the eaglet spreading its wings to see just how big it has grown and to also clearly see the pin feathers on the wings. Stunning video! Thank you!
