A cottonwood tree holding an active bald eagle nest in Barr Lake State Park recently toppled in a windstorm, it's the second year in a row that a nesting tree came down.
Officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife believe the recent tree fell on April 6, almost one year to the day after aNo remnants of the nest or eggs have been found from the tree that fell last week because of deep water in the area. Photos from a park volunteer revealed that the tree had fallen and park rangers confirmed the incident.
“It is with a heavy heart that we report that our eagle nesting tree fell down in the windstorms last week,” said Park Manager Michelle Seubert, in the release. “This was a new nest that they started this year after the other nesting tree fell last year. We are hopeful next year they will choose the tree we put our wire basket in. You just never know what mother nature has in store for us.”
Sad news to report from Barr Lake State Park where one of its nesting bald eagle trees fell down for a second consecutive year. The strong windstorm last week blew it down. A second nest at the park also appears to have failed this year.
