Migration of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has been studied with some success using band recoveries and VHF radiotransmitters (Harmata et al. 1985, Hunt et al. 1992, McClelland et al. 1994, Wood and Collopy 1994, Harmata 2002). Using these methods, biologists found that eagles in Florida were partial migrants, i.e., sub-adults migrated north in summer, but many adults remained year-round residents (Broley 1947, Wood and Collopy 1994). Band recoveries indicated that Florida eagles migrate as far north as Prince Edward Island, Canada in summer and returned to Florida in winter (Broley 1947, Wood and Collopy 1994).
