Article abstract: In 2005, WRI and the United States Forest Service (USFS), launched satellite telemetry to track the movements of Golden Eagles in Southern California. Since that time we have secured additional funding and sponsors to broaden this research to also include Golden Eagles from our banding stations in Montana. All of the data is truly amazing and could not have come at a better time. As you read this, maps are being drawn with plans for wind and solar farms in California, Baja, and all points north. It is critical that these potential sites use the known migration, hunting, and nesting patterns of the remaining Golden Eagles. Only satellite data can scientifically prove what areas the birds rely on to exist.
