the nesting eagles onto their nests! |

The eagles are racking up the miles so far this spring! U21 appears to be searching in a similar pattern that she flew last spring. Looks like U25 is the winner in the distance category with another 300 miles this week. She seems to be on a straight path to her nest tree in Newfoundland. Will she reach her destination next week?
The new bald eagle, S28, continues to stay in the same area where she has been since February. Will this be her nest site. Maybe she will leave by next week.
Stay tuned to find answers and learn more about the eagle migration.
Just like the forces that make our eagles migrate toward their nesting grounds, we have some eagles that are eager for you to put them on the map. Find the eagles' locations on today's map. Then use your mouse like a magic wand. Drag the eagles and their nests onto the map.

Eagles will soon be doing the serious work of raising another generation. Although it's not written down anywhere, male and female eagles know exactly what their duties are when it comes to raising young. What do females do? What do males do? Are there jobs they BOTH do?
Team up with your classmates to read then teach each other! Take notes in your

How much have you learned about eagles and migration this spring? Students at Midway Elementary School in Lexington, South Carolina learned enough to write a book! Using a fun literary devise called "Alpha-Antics" they put all their eagle facts into an alphabet book. Find out about their project and try it yourself!
