Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 24 and 25

Southward movements continued this week for two of the four immature eagles. Yellow moved further south in South Carolina, from the Cooper River/Lake Marion area to south of Charleston along the Wadmalaw River. Red stopped off in coastal Georgia, near St. Simons Island, before heading to Florida. In Florida, Red visited Cape Canaveral before ending the week at Lake Kissimmee, the third largest lake in the state.

Blue remains in the Colonial Beach area of Virginia, with some movements east and west to the Rappahannock River. Green again spent several days in or near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland before returning to the mouth of the Pocomoke River and Maryland-Virginia border area. 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.
