Donald and others,
 
It's highly likely that the Golden Eagle was part of the collaborative effort
between the National Aviary, Powdermill Avian Research Center and Ministere des
Ressources naturelles et da la Faune in Quebec. More details on the National
Aviary website, where you can find maps of the eagles movements.
 
Golden Eagles have been caught on both wintering grounds (mainly WV & PA) and
breeding grounds in Quebec over the last few years, and tracked between the
two. Their migration along the ridges of Pennsylvania, where there is so much
wind farm development, is currently been studied in detail. Hopefully this
information will help better inform the siting of wind farms, and suggest ways
to reduce bird strikes.
 
Cheers

PS: ducks around today, just checked a few local (all tiny) ponds close to my
house north of Frederick: 4 Hooded Mergansers, 5 Buffleheads, 2 Ruddy Duck and
1 Northern Shoveler.
