Do bald eagles which nest in Colorado migrate at all? Or do they stay in Colorado year round? Thank you for the help. Jean Stevenson, Aurora CO

Not sure Jean. Some breed in the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado regularly. But then with fall migration, the San Luis valley gets a whole passel of birds from presumably the north that spend November to March here. Those birds could easily overlap local birds. One radio tracked Bald Eagle in the SLV was tracked all the way to Canada so we know that many are migrants from the north. Other than this one study, don't know of any others done. Good question for sure.
