Where do the eagles go in the winter?
They stay on the refuge as long as there is open water and food available. After the chicks have left they do not spend much time around the nest, but will wander around the area instead. Once the impoundments freeze over they will only go as far as they have to find food again. Known wintering areas are along the Delaware River, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Great Lakes or other large water areas.
