Today, at Kiptopeke State Park, the Wildlife Center of Virginia released two juvenile Bald Eagles that they had been treating that had been found on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Over 200 people attended to witness the eagles take their first flights in over a month. These eagles were not fitted with GPS transmitters, but other individuals who were fitted with GPS transmitters and released at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge can be tracked at http://wildlifecenter.org/critter-corner/success-stories.
