Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 22

Two of the four immature bald eagles stayed in the same area as they were in last week. Blue stayed in Virginia moving between the Potomac River and the upper Rappahannock River. Red was in the Tar River area of North Carolina. Yellow moved to North Carolina this week after starting the week in Virginia along the James River.

She visited Gaston Lake on October 26, then moved to Fishing River on October 28. Yellow finished the week in the upper Tar River area west of Rocky Mount. Green also started the week in Virginia then moved to another state. She spent most of the week in the Colonial Beach area and along the Potomac River. Green then moved across the Chesapeake Bay to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Blackwater is a major eagle concentration area in Maryland, harboring over 100 eagles at this time of year.

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.
