Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 50

The three immature bald eagles moved around the Chesapeake Bay area this week. Red spent her time in Kent County, MD. She started the week in the Tolchester area and moved along the bay shoreline to the Sassafras Rive r. Green started the week near Quantico, VA along the Potomac River shoreline. She then moved down river, ending the week near Westmoreland State Park.

Yellow spent the week in Virginia, starting in the vicinity of Caledon, then moving to southern Virginia west of Emporia. He ended the week at the head of the James River near Richmond. 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.
