FINAL Bald Eagle Migration Update: May
10, 2006 Special thanks to our Bald Eagle Expert Pete, Eagleye Nye for sharing his time and talent again this spring. Keep a Spring 2006 archive. Then read the summary of spring migration research collected from satellite-tagged eagles collected over 57 seasons. You’ll be amazed! Create a story of what might happen when immature eagle P88 returns to his natal nest. Learn details of the history of the Bald eagle; its decline and comeback against many odds. And read a powerful poem called, "Eagles Over Aberdeen.” |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: May 3, 2006 Just a quick update today. The eagles are helping us learn about Canadian geography this spring. Can you name the provinces where some of our satellite-tracked eagles are nesting? While your atlas is out look for Albany County, NY. P88 has returned to her nest! The urge to return to the natal area must be very strong. Will her parents let her hang around as the next generation of eaglets are hatched? Come back next week for more. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: April 26,
2006 Glancing at today’s we see a couple of things clearly: first, the birds have really spread across the NE quadrant of the map, and the long distance fliers have continued to move. How big is one long-distance fliers range? Dig into adaptations that have allowed the Bald eagle to survive as a big adult and a small eaglet. Track weather and migration with a map archive source. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: April 19,
2006 Just a quick update today. The adult Bald eagles are racking up the miles so far this spring! Get a bird’s view of the migration mapped for you, or map the data yourself. How far and how fast do they soar from point to point in their journeys? Keep travel records of these majestic raptors on new easy to print tracking charts. Come back next week for more. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: April 12,
2006 It doesn’t get much better than this for eagle migration season! Study this week’s data and maps for even more excitement as our eagles migrate out of the U.S. to places we will never see except through satellite technology. Explore resources for weather maps and calculating distances. Then learn about nest building. You can even build one in your classroom! |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: April 5,
2006 It’s April and we’re tracking eagles on the move! Which birds are soaring towards their summer nesting sites? What’s the view from up there? Imagine you’re U21. What would YOU see? Study carefully to answer this week’s challenge. Just a quick update today. Come back next week for more. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: March 29,
2006 Imagine the view our migrating adult birds have from their cruising altitude so far above the ground. What landmarks will they look for to guide them on their journeys? Learn about a safe resting spot along the way for V98. Measure the progress of U27 in her northward journey. And look in to a live eagle cam to observe an active nest – up close and personal. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: March 15,
2006 This week we see the eagles are getting restless. Where are they moving? Track each bird on its own map now. What is “winter range?” Find out, then map each winter range to learn more about eagle habitat. Springtime brings a longer photoperiod—one factor that can lead to a northern migration. Study how the weather and other factors affect spring migration. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: March 8,
2006 Just a quick update today to give you the latest news from Peter Nye and data for your map. Study the map--especially check out birds U25 and P91. March is here--a very busy month for Bald eagles! Stay tuned for a full update next week. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: March 1,
2006 Get ready. This is the month the visiting eagles get on the move. For now the eagles are staying local and we have a chance to study some of their habitat choices. Why are eagles attracted to a potentially dangerous place? Which eagle took wing in a southern direction? Study this week’s eagle data for the answers. And enjoy some winter bird watching at the Kinzua Dam site. |

Bald Eagle Migration Update: February
15, 2006 The latest data make this week’s map an interesting one to study. Eagleye asks you to look for emerging patterns. Can we learn to be objective and think like scientists? Learn why researchers stay away from naming their study animals. And add a big word to your eagle glossaries, “anthropomorphism.” |
