Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 16

There was a good bit of movement this week by three of the four immature bald eagles. Blue started the week along the Potomac River in the vicinity of where she was last week. On September 12, she moved southwest stopping at Fort A. P. Hill and along the Rappahannock River in Virginia before returning to the Potomac River.

 

Yellow was also along the upper Rappahannock River, then moved down river and eventually to the Colonial Beach area. Red spent most of the week along the Potomac shoreline in Virginia south of Colonial Beach, but ended the week along the upper reaches of the York River. Green is the only immature eagle that stayed in Maryland, spending all week in 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.
