My First Readable Band, V34! Banded Eagle from NY @ Conowingo Dam, MD

    Larger

    This was my first photo with a readable band!

    A few others got photos of him(?) too and researched it, and he's from NY and was banded in 2002 as a chick (assuming I remember the story correctly). NY uses two bands: silver and blue I think...

    I haven't found info online for v34, but this site is related to the bird, and may have the info...

      Very cool. I like the glint in his(?) eye. Will you report your sighting?

      This is amazing Jon! Beautiful shot, of course, but I am learning so much from your photos and commentary about the eagles and others!! Thanks!

      Very cool...I have never seen a band on any eagles up here, I did down in Oregon but never anything readably close!
