September 2: NX appears to be moving a bit farther afield — and is now off of the Berkeley property. She’s moved into a different forested area close to the water. According to Mike Lanzone, one of the Cellular Tracking Technologies experts, that exact spot is one used by other Bald Eagles that also have units on.

September 6: As of today, NX has been on her own for one week. She remains close to Berkeley Plantation, and each morning wakes up a little further from her release location. For the last five nights she has roosted next to a small tributary of the James River that cuts up behind Berkeley and Westover; this is prime eagle habitat.
Looking at her “tracks” on Google Earth, we can see NX’s travel path tends to stick to tree lines, which provide her good cover and lots of roosting and perching places; the shallow waters of the upper tributary where she has been for the last few days are good fishing grounds. Position, speed, and altitude data is recorded by the backpack at 15-minute intervals, so interpretations of other behaviors (for example, hunting) would only be conjecture at this point; however, we are seeing her in the air quite a bit flying from place to place. It will be interesting to see where she moves to next now that she has reached the narrowest end of the tributary.

Where is she now?
September 10: After some mid-week rainy weather cleared, NX opted to leave the Berkeley Plantation area — and is now in King and Queen County! On Friday, September 9, she woke up at the same general area near the Berkeley Plantation — and then left town at about 9:30 a.m. She flew 35 miles to a forested area in King and Queen, and arrived around 1:30 p.m. Today she seems to be flying around the same general area.

She's doing well so far!

He certainly is! He's developing into quite a handsome young Eagle!

We know everyone is asking about NX updates ... and nope no updates today. She didn't phone in! As we mentioned before, if she is out of cell range for her allotted "check in" hour, we'll miss the chance to get a read on her. She's likely out there in a spotty cell coverage area -- we all know how that goes -- so we'll look for another report next week.

Where is she now? Still in Northumberland County, hanging out on the Little Wicomico River! Or at least, that's where NX the Bald Eagle was on Saturday. In and out of spotty cell coverage areas, so no data from today -- but the area where she is looks to be an excellent spot to be an eagle!

Nope, I wasn't worried...not one tiny little bit...
