Tracking TERF21
Link to TERF21's Tracking Map
More info coming soon - as of March 27, all I know is that TERF21 is a bald eagle who was tagged earlier this month. I'm not seeing any data points yet, so it's possible that Myles has more information that needs to be entered into Movebank (which keeps track of all the data and makes in accessible on maps).
Update - April 29, 2022 - I still don't have any information about TERF21, but Myles has updated Movebank so we can now follow his or her travels - and TERF21 has reached the Alaskan Panhandle!
Update - February 18, 2023
Myles has added more information to the master banding/tagging records; here's what we now know:
BAEA22-52 - TERF21
Banding Date: Mar 10 2022
USFW Band #: 0829-01899 (right leg)
Banded: Blue marker M over 3 on its left leg
Captured: Vancouver Landfill in Delta, BC
Age: age class calendar year SY; age class est 12M; moult class FPF/juv plumage
Eye color: dark brown
Sex: Male
I am still learning the language for reporting the apparent age of an eagle; in this case, I am pretty sure that TERF21 hatched in 2021 because he was estimated to be 12 months old at banding; I think the age class calendar year is SY for second year because it was the calendar year after the one in which he hatched but I'm not sure about that.
And there are pictures! (The first two click a whole lot bigger!)

Myles tweaked some settings on the Movebank site that uploads the data for our tracked eagles - and now we can see where TERF21 has been since he or she received their tracker on or about March 24. Please note that this map is still a work in progress, and TERF21's final color will be different - probably a reddish brown.
I hope to have more of the story soon, but for now - look how far this eagle has traveled!
The dark line at the bottom of the "closer look" picture is the boundary between BC and Alaska.
