Field Notes: FINAL
Tracking the Spring 2006 Bald Eagle Migration
Our season has come to a close and our biologist, Eagleye Nye is out in the field checking on the nest sites in his New York territory. How well did you keep tracking records for the Spring 2006 migration? Do your records include the information below? This chart can become a permanent record for you to keep - in your own Bald eagle tracking archive!
What kinds of differences do you notice in behavior between the immature birds (P88, P89, P90, P91, P94, P96) and the adult birds (V98, P04, U27, U25, U21)?
What will our older immature birds (P94 and P96) do next spring? Will each of these birds be found in the same places next May? Stay tuned and follow the migration with us in the spring of 2007!
