Highlights:
"I live north of Kettle Falls, in the Boyds area. There is a nest
perched high above in the pines that I have been observing.
Friday I saw a Bald eagle sitting in the nest.
I could just make out the white head. Perched a few feet above was another
eagle
sitting on a branch. I've seen this nest for the past 4 years." Kettle

Heavy rain, wind and snow sweeping across the continent this week kept people running for cover. But what about the birds left to find their shelter? Eagles U21, S28, and U25 continue to hold steady on their winter grounds this week. U27 and the Golden R24 seem unfazed by the weather. Study this week's maps to learn where these 2 eagles have traveled in their spring 2008 migrations.
Surprise, surprise! Golden eagle R24 has taken off! Only 9 days have passed since she sent a signal from northern NY. Now she is sending signals from Newfoundland! |
