For the third year in a row eagle U27 has begun her migration before the others. "Eagle-Eye" Nye says that part of the reason eagles hurry back northward is to stake a claim on their territory. Makes you wonder if her nesting grounds are home to many other eagle pairs.
Besides U27's movement, what do today's eagle maps tell you? Do you see other interesting things? We'll take a little closer look at U25 again to see if she has made up her mind.
Keep your eyes to the sky as northern lakes begin to break up. You may see some eagles close to home.

Last week we discussed how the change in daylight hours was one big factor that sends eagles on their migrations. What other factors might also signal it is time to go? Eagle U25 has traveled south, then north, then south again. Now she is located half way between. Last year U25 held steady at this location until March 27. Will she wait that long this year? Will she travel the same migration route? |

Why do eagles start their migration when they do: How would you answer? Nye tells us that part of the reason eagles hurry back northward is to stake a claim on their territory. Once at the nest site the work begins!
