Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 14

Three of the four immature bald eagles spent the week in Virginia. Blue frequented the Potomac River shoreline in the vicinity of Caledon Natural Area. This area is one of the Chesapeake Bay’s largest concentration areas for bald eagles. Yellow stayed along the Rappahannock River this week. He arrived there late last week from a stay in North Carolina.

Red also was along the Rappahannock River further up river from Yellow. She finished the week along the Potomac River shoreline. Green was the only immature eagle in Maryland this week. She is still in the Parkers Creek area of Calvert County. The preceeding text was provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

Please visit our Eagle Map Gallery 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.
