Bald Eagle Tracking Project - Week 6 & 7

Two immature eagles stayed in the same location, while two others moved during week #6 and week #7. Blue is still in southern New Jersey near the Delaware River. She moved to New Jersey on June 10 and has been there ever since. Green still finds the Parkers Creek area of Calvert County ideal and remained there all week. She has been there since June 3. Red spent most of the week at Aberdeen Proving Ground, then moved north into Pennsylvania on July 12. This is the first foray into Pennsylvania by any of the immature eagles being tracked.
Red is in the vicinity of the Susquehanna River. Yellow is still in Virginia. She moved from the Potomac River and finished the week along the Rappahannock River, which supports a healthy eagle population in 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.
