The research project has provided scientists with volumes of information previously unknown about winter movements of bald eagles and success of eagles raised by foster parents at the REGI facility. Last year all the birds survived providing new information about roost sites as well as interactive behavior between the different age groups of Bald Eagles.

The second phase of the release will be on January 19th in Sauk City during the annual Eagle Days Celebration. The public is invited to attend.

Update 12-23-01 The young male bird is flying up and down the Wisconsin River with great energy. The female is somewhat more sedentary. Both birds have been observed soaring. Both birds are chosing good roost sites and interacting well with other eagles.
