This bald eagle, named Hudson, is a winter visitor to the Chesapeake Bay. It was banded as a nestling by the NY Department of Environmental Conservation in 2007. In November, Hudson flies to the Bay to hunt wintering waterfowl along the many tributaries of the Bay. He was captured using a rocket net baited with a road killed deer. After fitting Hudson with a solar powered GPS transmitter on January 26, 2008, he was released on the shoreline of the Bay.
