The eagles have scattered! This is an exciting time of year for tracking eagle migration. Peter Nye writes, "What has most surprised me is the path these birds are taking. They all seem to go in somewhat different directions and routes to get to their destinations."
Peter Nye has tracked mature bald eagles for many years. Each year as April approaches he marvels at the same phenomenon, "I have been surprised at how fast they move out. Once they decide to go, they cover hundreds of miles in just days, again, making it impossible to keep up with them."
A quick look at this week's map and you will have to agree with Nye!
Nye has also observed the eagles' fidelity from year to year to the same migration routes. Visit the spring 2007 map to study and compare as the spring 2008 migrations unfold. |
