Next message: by way of Journey North: "Challenge Question #2"
Challenge Question #3.
My answer: 9 Facts
· Sky-blue leg band they wear, signifying them as "New Yorkers."
· Purple-banded birds from Michigan.
· Black-banded birds from Connecticut.
· Gold-banded birds from Massachusetts.
· We want to capture an un-banded, adult bald eagle, hopefully from
Canada, so that we can outfit it with one of our satellite radio
transmitters to continue our research into migration pathways, origins and
fidelity of our wintering eagles.
· An immature bald land on the ice about 30 yards from the bait, and begins
walking slowly toward it. This is very typical bald eagle behavior: rarely
does a bald fly right down to a carcass and begin feeding. They are very
wary and careful.
· Adults visit and fight over the carcass, jumping, flapping and flying at
each other, talons outstretched, in an attempt to dominate the food.
