To protect vulnerable raptors this year, EagleWatch volunteers worked with local governments to safeguard nests in their communities while alerting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to a potential new threat.
If you see a banded eagle, report the band to the Bird Banding Lab or to the EagleWatch program at eaglewatch@audubon.org.

Since 2017, Audubon has run an Auxiliary Banding Study to determine if the type of nest a chick hatches in influences the type of nest it chooses as a breeding adult. Rescued juvenile eagles rehabilitated at the Center receive a colored auxiliary leg band before release.
