A bald eagle contour or body feather rests in the grass under a bald eagle nest at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Md. The feathers are collected as part of a larger study of mercury loads in adult bald eagles throughout the Chesapeake Bay and for DNA fingerprinting to investigate adult turnover rates. Environmental specialists from Naval Support Facility Indian Head work with researchers from the College of William and Mary to identify and examine the health of the bald eagle population on the base.
