Very interesting Stuart. I am reminded of a conversation with a Ranger at Inwood on the Northern tip of Manhattan. They had radio tagged a Bald Eagle hatched in the area. These birds
spend their formative years travelling from one Eagle territory to another, "learning to be a Bald Eagle". The travels of this one are approximately shown below, starting at point 1.
 When I spoke with them the bird was (I think) about 3 years old and was hanging out in Northern Labrador. It was expected to return to close (within 100km) of its birthplace when mature, and about 6 years old. Martin
