Do bald eagles stay together every day throughout the year or only during nesting season?
A. This is not yet clear, but banded or tagged bald eagles that migrate (spend part of their year in breeding grounds and part in wintering grounds) have been seen together in the wintering area. Eagles that are year-round residents (eagles that breed and winter in their territories, leaving only for the salmon runs) appear to stay together throughout the year, although one may leave for the salmon run and return from it before the other. Mom and Dad Hornby winter together as well as breed on Hornby Island.
