vector digital data https://myfwc.com/research This map displays all bald eagle nesting areas documented by FWC during statewide aerial surveys conducted from 1998 to 2017.  Each polygon is labeled with the range of years where nest(s) were confirmed. Not every nesting area was surveyed in each year.The Historical Bald Eagle Nesting Areas map is not intended to take the place of a survey to determine the presence/absence, status, or exact location of a current eagle nest.  Current eagle nests and potential habitat may or may not overlap with the nesting areas in this map.To request additional or more detailed information from the full bald eagle nesting database or for further information about FWC bald eagle nest monitoring, please email baldeagle@myfwc.com.  FWC Historical Bald Eagle Nesting Areas Map., 1998-2017 Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI).

Accuracy of locations is estimated to be within 0.1 miles of the true location. Locations are given in longitude and latitude to hundredths of a minute. The Township, Range, and Section of each nest location are also provided. Township, Range, and Section were determined from the Public Land Survey System grid that includes Land Grant parcels. 20160101 Vector Eagle Nesting Florida 1998-2017 Eagle Nesting Locations Florida FWRI Min of Survey Year The earliest year of FWC survey where a bald eagle nest was confirmed within this polygon. Together with 'Max of Survey Year', this field creates the range of years displayed on the map where an eagle nest was confirmed within the polygon. Not every nest was surveyed in every year and the final year of the FWC survey was 2017. Therefore, a nest may or may not have been present within this polygon in all years within the range or after.
