Golden Eagle #16-1934 Release

Golden Eagle #16-1934 was released on November 28 at Big Walker Lookout in Wytheville, Virginia. When Dr. Dave released the eagle, the bird flew over a steep cliff and circled around to land in a nearby tree. The young eagle sat in the tree for about an hour, taking in his surroundings, before taking off. Remember to check this eagle's tracking page to follow his adventures!
