Summary

The issue reports that the bald eagle recovered by Roy Elsworth had been banded near Atlanta, Georgia, on August 1, 1988, and that the recovery data was recorded by the Bird Banding Laboratory.

Evidence limits

The record preserves the newspaper’s banding follow-up; it is not a complete wildlife case file or mortality determination.
