"Where could you find information about Bald eagles in the north end of the Chesapeake Bay? How many eagles spend the winter there?"
Tyrell said we should go to google and ask about bald eagles in Chesapeake Bay. From there we found this link...

http://www.chesapeakebay.net/info/bald_eagle.cfm

This didn't have the answer, but it had other places. We went to http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/eagle/future.htmlm, which is the page about America's Bald Eagle Future. From there we read...

" The most spectacular recovery, however, took place in the Chesapeake Bay area, where only 32 pairs were nesting in 1977 to produce 18 young, and in 1993, 151 pairs contributed 172 fledglings to the expanding populations.
 ......
Today, there are an estimated 7,066 nesting pairs of bald eagles."
