Bald Eagle Band Resights
Welcome eagle enthusiasts! If you’ve spotted a Bald Eagle banded with a colored leg band, this is the website for you!
You can check the table of color bands below to find the contact information for the corresponding eagle bander (some states have more than one bander so please contact both). These eagle banders rely on YOU, the bird-watching public, to spot and report sightings of banded eagles. These sightings are used in eagle research to track eagle movements, monitor survival rates, and causes of mortality.
In your email to the bander(s), provide your contact information, exact location of the eagle, band color, band code, and if possible, include a photo of the eagle.
Thank you for reporting your sighting of a color banded eagle!
