Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 26 and 27

Two of the immature bald eagles stayed in the southeastern portion of the country this week. Red is still in Florida in the Lake Kissimmee area. Yellow is also in Florida now, after spending time in South Carolina and Georgia. He started the week in South Carolina near Charleston, then moved slightly north spending time at Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie.

He then moved south to the coast in the vicinity of Beaufort, South Carolina. On November 27th, Yellow was along the coast of Georgia in the vicinity of Blackbeard Island. He finished the week near Daytona Beach, Florida. Green is still in the Chesapeake Bay area on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. She has been moving between the mouth of the Pocomoke River and the Fairmount area of Somerset County. We are now concerned about Blue. She was briefly heard from on November 17th. Since then we have received no transmissions from the satellite transmitter. That means either Blue's transmitter has failed or she is dead. We are working to find the answer. 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.

With each update, new locations may not be available for each of the four birds. To conserve battery power and reduce satellite communications costs the transmitters are not on continuously.
