Abstract:

There is a golden eagle population of 3,000 to 5,000 nesting in Eastern Canada during the summer. Around October they began heading south toward their wintering destination in the Appalachian Mountains. A number of them settle in the state's mountains. Kelly reports on the research being conducted by the Eastern Golden Eagle Working Group at West Virginia University by Dr. Todd Katzner and his group. In 2012-13, the group invited the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to join the study.
