Challenge Question #7:
² Do migrating eagles travel during the daylight or under cover of darkness?
Explain why.²

The bald eagle travels during the daylight. They prefer to glide using the
thermals that are created by the sun. The article said that they didn't even
like to travel during the day if the sun wasn't out.

Even if the conditions aren't perfect, the eagles still move back North to
be here to have their nests ready.
