More and more seem to be staying to nest each year, but that number does not account for the 2-400 or so that we regularly see in Feb. on the eagle counts. I believe that some early radio-tagged studies were done a number of years ago, which showed that at least some of the wintering birds here came from Maine and points farther south - even post breeding dispersal from Florida. DNR may have that data somewhere. It would seem reasonable to suppose that many of our wintering eagles are C.Breton breeders, but only banding studies or satellite radio tags would be able to prove it.
