Trying to drink my coffee and answer emails this morning.

Maverick, our education Golden Eagle, spending some time out of the cold and in the warm garage. 🪶

Each transmitter should last 6-8 years giving us valuable information on migration as well as their daily movements. We make sure each backpack is fitted correctly so it won’t interfere with how they move. 🪶#raptorresearch #goldeneagle

This recapture shows how important banding wildlife is to continue to learn about their natural history. If you find a banded bird, submit the number to reportband.gov!
*This bird was trapped and banded under federal and state permits through the Raptor Resource Project*

Since he is now backpacked with telemetry, we will hopefully be able to continue to follow his journey and potentially know long he lives.

Hello Blue Sky!! Our first post is about this beautiful male Golden Eagle that we trapped and was already banded! The most exciting part is that he was banded in October, 1992 in Ashfield, PA as hatch year bird making him almost 33 years old!
