Eagles on Cape Charles Beach

December 30, 2018 by Wayne Creed 8 Comments

The bald eagle breeding population on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is has been on the upswing for several years now. The Center for Conservation Biology within the College of William and Mary and the Virginia Commonwealth University completed the first bald eagle survey of the Eastern Shore back in March of 2011. A record 60 occupied breeding territories was documented. The population has been growing dramatically in recent years. In 1990 there were less than 10 known pairs on the Shore and as recently as 2000 there were only 20 pairs.

The following photos were sent in by Jim Garvey, who captured eagles on the Cape Charles beach:

    Those are some great photos with the eagles in the foreground and the cruise ships at anchor in the background.

    It really captures the essence of life on the shore.

    Great job!

      I believe they are container ships, disgusting bilge into our bay, and possible other contaminations. I agree with your sentiment r/t the eagles.
