Bald Eagle Tracking Project The maps below show the most recent movements of four immature Bald Eagles being tracked by Earthspan in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This project will allow biologists to monitor the birds post-release, via satellite. The resulting data will reveal important information about the dispersal and habitat use of young eagles in the Chesapeake Bay, as well as information on the surviorship of rehabilitated raptors. |

The tracking data is also be used as a part of an innovative educational program in science and technology called Eye of the Falcon. This project is currently funded by a generous grant from the Maryland Ornithological Society.

Please visit our Eagle Map Archive to see other maps of the eagle movements. The gallery contains maps of the eagle movements plotted on shaded relief maps that show local topography as well as eagle movements shown on a satellite image of the bay region which illustrates the types of landcover the eagles are living near. An archive of maps from the past that have appeared below is also available.
