Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 1 After the first week since being released at Sandy Point State Park on May 27, the immature eagles have moved in different directions. Blue moved from Sandy Point and went north to spend the week in the Aberdeen Proving Ground area at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. This is one of Maryland’s major concentration areas for non-breeding bald eagles. Red also spent some time at Aberdeen Proving Ground, after initially spending a few days in the Severn River area. |

Red is now in southern New Jersey.
This is the longest distance any of the immature eagles have traveled
thus far. Green spent most of the week on the south shore of the
Severn River and then moved to the bay shoreline of Calvert County
exactly one week after its release at Sandy Point. Yellow is the
only one that stayed at Sandy Point for the first day. She then
moved to the South River in Anne Arundel County for another day
or two. Yellow then moved east to Kent Island on May 31 and was
along the east fork of the Wye River on the Eastern Shore by the
end of the first week. The preceeding text was provided by the
Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
