Where are eleven of the juvenile bald eagles fitted with GSM?GPS transmitteres and banded with PURPLE leg bands in May 2016? See the maps below which cover the period March 8 through March 13. Two are in North Carolina, one in Norfolk, six in Virginia Beach, and two in other parts of Virginia. But as you will see they wander widely in a 5 day period. Click on maps to enlarge.

Thanks for the update and thank you for the time you put in to make this report. It is great to be able to follow their travels. Nice shot Shelly!
Believe I got a photo of Grace on 3/20/2017 at the Mackay Island NWR. Coordinates were 36.509432, -75.962731. I’ve seen 5 eagles there in the last week. Photo available on request.
Charlie – Grace was in Hampton on the Peninsula, so not Grace. It is another one of the CCB transmittered eagles but I don’t know which one.
