Post Fledging Movement of Arizona Bald Eagle Juveniles

Arizona Game and Fish Department is conducting a study that will expand upon the known ecology of the Arizona Bald Eagle. Thus, in an effort to understand the migratory pattern of Arizona Bald Eagle juveniles, data collected from satellite platform transmitters is contoured to a map and analyzed to determine the pathway(s) and conditions that lead to the flight pattern. Join us in following the unknown migratory flights of Arizona Bald Eagle juveniles. Updated maps will be displayed monthly. Click to view the movements of the individual Bald Eagles
