Lee, Florida Wildlife Conservation (Formerly Florida Fish and Game Commission) is the only group I can find at this point that has any transmitters on eagles. In Fact, Brian Milsap of FWC says several of their eagles are on Lake Jordan now. They have a web sit that is a little out of date, but you can track their eagles on a map to see where they all are Http://www.state.fl.us/fwc/ or you can call Brian directly 850-488-3831. Have a good day. -----Original Message----- From: Johns, Mark E. [SMTP:JohnsME@MAIL.WILDLIFE.STATE.NC.US] Sent: Saturday, August 14, 1999 9:55 PM To: Allen, David H. Cc: Susan Campbell; Thomas M.
