Barr Lake State Park in Brighton is famous for the population of bald eagles that can be seen this time of year. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, this is the time of year that bald eagles are in the process of courtship and nest building. The laying of eggs will occur in mid-February and the eggs will hatch in mid to late March.
