Connecting the Dots- Discussion of Challenge Question #8

"Describe the route traveled by U27 in her migration March 11 – 26. (direction, states/countries visited). How many miles did she travel in total during that time? (*hint: Use the mileage scale to measure the distance traveled.) Can you calculate the average number of miles per day that she traveled? What clues might tell us that she has reached her nesting ground?”

Iselin Middle School Responds!
On March 11, U27 was around Pennsylvania and New York. On the 14th, she was up north in New York. On the 17th she was on the border lime of New York and Canada. On the 20th and 23rd, U27 was in Quebec, Canada. Finally on the 26th, she had traveled further north in Quebec.
Total miles = 442.64
Average miles = 221.32
Miles North = 347.64
Miles West = 95
Clues that might tell us she has reached her nesting ground are her day by day continuous movement north and her apparent stop in upper Quebec. Her nesting ground is probably somewhere up north. Also, we noticed that in every article, so far, the eagles move further north if tempeartures rise in the present location. From 7th Graders Shavani, Monica, Nick K, and Muzzamel

Excellent observations!

More Clues:
Since March 26, U27's PTT has been sending signals from the same location. I think we can be pretty certain that she has set up in her nest at (47.632, -77.322)!

We have a few more weeks to observe and decide whether our prediction is correct. Stay tuned!
