Presentations
Tuesday, Jan. 13, 7 p.m.: One Eagle, Two Nests
Settle in for a free Zoom presentation with Dana Bove, one of the area’s premier raptor researchers and founder of Front Range Eagle Studies (FRNBES), a Colorado-based nonprofit. In “A Rare Story of Cooperative Polygyny in Bald Eagles,” Bove uses photos to illustrate the true story of something almost unheard of in Bald Eagles: a single male successfully raising young in different nests at the same time. Beginning in 2018, this eagle quietly slipped between two nests about 2 miles apart, incubating eggs at one nest, delivering food at the other, and defending both territories as if each were his own.
Dana is a long-time Boulder resident who came to raptor research through an unconventional path. Trained as a geologist, he spent much of his professional career with the U.S. Geological Survey before gradually shifting his focus toward wildlife, driven by a deep and growing interest in birds of prey. Years of field observation, photography, and study—particularly of bald eagles—have shaped both his work and perspective.
He is the founder of Front Range Eagle Studies (FRNBES), a Colorado-based nonprofit focused on the study and conservation of territorial and migratory bald eagles, along with other raptors in the northern Colorado Front Range. FRNBES is built around careful, long-term field research, with an emphasis on how raptors use landscapes increasingly shaped by human activity.
The goal of FRNBES is to publish its findings and share them with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as the public. When appropriate, the organization also applies its science to advocacy when proposed actions may pose risks to raptors or their habitats.
FRNBES is supported by a small group of staff and volunteers—wildlife enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and photographers—some with formal training in biology or wildlife science, others with decades of field experience. What unites them is a shared respect for these birds and a commitment to understanding them well enough to help ensure their continued presence on the Front Range.
Members and non-members are welcome to tune in.

Just ahead of Valentine’s Day, a speaker from the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies will give us a peek into the mating habits and pair bonds of various wild bird species. And as we begin our 10th anniversary year, we’ll honor club founders and others who were instrumental in helping our organization take wing.
In addition, a short business meeting will include ratification of a new board member for 2026- 2027. We’ll offer light refreshments, door prizes, good conversation, and a chance to join the club or renew your membership in person via cash, check, or credit card.
