    Challenge Question #3
    "Based on one month's data, which eagle seems to have the largest home range?"

    My name is David Ritter.
    I am 7 years old.
    I live in New York City.

    I think that eagle # F-81 has the biggest home range. First we printed out the map, and then I drew circular shapes around each bald eagle's home range. And then what I did was measure it with a ruler. And it turns out that the dark blue dots had the biggest space on the map. The green dots, eagle #F-43, had a smaller space, but not much smaller. It is a taller shape, but it is shorter, so that makes me think that it is a smaller shape.

    The brown dots, eagle #E-47, have the smallest space on the map, so that is the smallest home range. I think it's probly like a baby eagle, or it is small. Or maybe it has an egg in its nest that it is watching.
