The bald eagle in this story was found in Virginia where the species population has grown exponentially over the past 30 years. That means there has been a continuous increase of birds!
Did you know bald eagles don't migrate? They only travel as needed to find food.
Don't underestimate how far the hungry birds will go, though. Bald eagles that were originally found in Massachusetts have traveled all the way to southern Canada and to Michigan to find food! Talk about going to great lengths.
