Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 17

There was a bit of movement by the immature bald eagles this week. Green has moved after staying in the Parkers Creek area of Calvert County since June 3. She moved further south in the county on September 24 and at week’s end was in Virginia near Colonial Beach.

 

Yellow and Red were also in the Colonial Beach area. Yellow ended the week along the upper Rappahannock River. Red also moved to the Rappahannock River on September 17, then moved further south to the James River area by week’s end. Blue stayed along the Potomac River along the shorelines of Charles County, Maryland and King George County, Virginia. 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.
