Description

In July 1987, 58 young bald eagles Haliaeetus leucocephalus were translocated from southeast Alaska to five lower 48 states: New York, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri and North Carolina. This was the seventh consecutive year bald eagles have been taken from nests in southeast Alaska and transferred southward in an effort to reestablish viable breeding populations in other parts of the country.
