The Rangers and Researchers captured this young Golden Eagle to study and tag the bird for future study on how they migrate from Canada to places in the United State (in this case to the high mountains of Southwestern Virginia). The golden girl holding the Golden Eagle is Marceia Holland, a hard-working dedicated ranger at Grayson Highlands State Park, who has written an article on the migration of the Golden Eagles which can be found on Virginia State Parks web-site and Miss Marcie is a wonderful friend who was once my boss. After the study in which left the bird unharmed, it was released in the wilderness area from which it was captured.
