Peter Nye is an endangered species expert. "I think it is going to be a busy and exciting year, so fasten your seat belts and get ready to do some thinking!" says Nye.
Nye, also known as "Eagle Eye," tracks bald eagles by satellite as they come and go through New York State. He also tracks those that stay in New York for a lifetime. Nye is sharing his research with us for the 14th year! This is the basic question behind his work: What habitat do the eagles need?

Christian Martin is a conservation biologist working with New Hampshire Audubon and U.S. Fish and Game on a brand new project. They hope to capture and attach satellite transmitters (PTT’s) to 5 bald eagles in the next few weeks. If successful, we will learn more about the birds' habitat needs along the Merrimack River and uncover the secrets of their migrations north in the spring.
This
study is being launched as we start up our 2008 season. Will the project
succeed? Stay tuned as we follow their exciting efforts in
New Hampshire. Keep your fingers crossed! We'll ride along with Chris
on this exciting new adventure along the Merrimack River in New Hampshire.

The
NY Eagles
"We will start by tracking five adult eagles
captured in New York State. Three of these birds, U21, U25 and
U27 were tracked last year. Two new birds, another female bald
eagle, and a golden eagle were captured in January. We are excited
to learn more about them." says Nye.
What do our five eagles have in common? We believe that they all are winter visitors in New York state. Why do they come to New York? Where will they go this spring? Follow along with us this spring as their migration stories unfold.

Before
an eagle can be tracked there is work to do. Follow along
with the field team in New Hampshire as they lure in the eagles
