Bald Eagle Migration Update: May 3, 2006 Today's Report Includes:
Today’s Map and Data
Field Notes from Eagleye Nye Hello Journey North: This
past week, again, sees some interesting movements by our youngsters,
but pretty much status quo for our adult birds. U25, 4-year old female, continues to move around Labrador, "searching?” It would appear she is not yet breeding based on her movements and our other tagged-eagles behavior at this point. He is not to far from V98. P91, youngster in 2005 moved west just a little, now between Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. P89 and P90 remain about where they were. Back to the Natal Area for Youngsters Our other 2004 youngster, Y96, like P88, has also returned to her natal area along the Delaware River, re-familiarizing herself with "home." Y94 moved north just a bit, but still residing on the Susquehanna River in PA. Studying
Young Eagles--A New Frontier in Research
I begin my field work early next Monday morning, so will not have much to report from here on out, since I'll be scrambling all around New York State trying to get to all our nest trees over the next two months. But, I will try to send latest location data as I can. Take care, and do well as school wraps up; have a great summer and hope to see you all next year! Eagleye Like a Battery, U25 Keeps on Going A quick calculation using the map scale of miles looks to be around
1,000 miles. If you checked the distance using the On-line Distance
Calculator you found that the bird has traveled 925 miles since mid-February!!
If you use the On-line Distance Calculator, simply highlight and copy the 2 data point's coordinates and paste them into the calculator. YOU figure out the distance U25 has flown since our last update! Tracking the Spring 2006 Bald Eagle Migration Study eagle maps and locations each week. Then use this new chart for tracking. You could keep this as a permanent record for your Spring 2006 archives. The Next Bald Eagle Migration Update Will Be Posted on May 10, 2006. Copyright
