has begun! Just a quick update today to give you the latest news from
Peter Nye and
data
for your map.
March is here—and some of the eagles are starting
their migration north!
Hello Journey North
We are very fortunate this year to also get data on the day these two were moving, giving us multiple readings on that day while they were on the move. I've included multiple data points for both on that day, so you could try to figure out some neat stuff, like how far and how fast they may be moving.
Maybe you could also project a path for U25, and do some guessing as to where she might end up and when. Go back to her capture picture and recall she was what we classify as a "sub-adult', a 4-year old bird. These birds are not yet full adults, but are capable of breeding. Whether she has a mate and may breed this year, is unknown. What do you think? As for
our other adults, U27 continues north, and is now in Quebec. As
a "new" bird for us this year, this
also gives us the opportunity to guess where she may be going. Adult P04 remains where he moved to last week, in northern NY. This is a little bit worrisome, as I thought he might keep going, but this isn’t totally unusual. I’m hoping he will be on his way again by next week’s report. Now, for our youngsters’ movements, there isn’t too much to report. I'm getting concerned about Y94, since no new signals in a week, meaning the PTT or the eagle may be dead. All other youngsters are in generally the same areas where they have been. That's all for now. Enjoy studying the clues from this week’s data! Eagleye
