Bald Eagle Nest Video Monitoring
  Introduction   Photo Gallery  

Weclome! This website is part of a research study focused on the ecology of nesting Bald Eagles in Virginia. The objective of this project is to use video-monitoring systems to obtain close-range data of nest activities. Biologists from the Center for Conservation Biology select eagle pairs to study, band and measure the chicks, and install small security cameras directly above the nests.

NEW! We launched a new website just for kids. Click here to visit Bald Eagle Kids!

Background
The Center for Conservation Biology has been the lead conservation organization working toward the restoration and management of the Bald Eagle in Virginia. Working with government agencies and a host of other groups, Center staff have monitored the Virginia population for over 25 years. Over this time, the Center has conducted dozens of reasearch projects focused on the development of better management techniques for this species and its habitats. MORE INFORMATION >>
