Question: What month is considered a peak month for viewing bald eagles in Colorado?

Answer: February is when Colorado’s bald eagle numbers are at their highest—up to 1,000—as migrating eagles join those living year-round in the state, particularly in the northeast region. The raptors are especially abundant from Fort Collins east to Greeley due to an abundance of open water and cottonwood trees.
