Maps,
Data, and Highlights |
Spring
fever has kept eagles U21 and U25 on the move again this week. Neither
bird seems to be traveling in a straight line. Check the maps to see
their
zig-zag movements.
For the first time S28 is moving from the site where she has stayed
all winter. Does this mean she will continue to travel north?
The Golden eagle, R24, and Bald eagle U27 are sitting tight - maybe
on their nests.
More of the migration will be revealed as it happens next week, our
final week of the spring season for tracking these magnificent birds.

Take
a Look! 2008 Eagle S28 |
This
entire season we have watched our newest Bald Eagle, S28 with great
interest. Where will this bird migrate, we wonder? She was captured
in January, in the SE corner of New York State, but has sent signals
from the same location since then. Just this past week she has crossed
the river into Canada. Will she stay there or go further? What do
you think? |

The Match Game
The most important part of a human body is the brain,
which allows us to solve a lot of problems and adapt to a lot of
different environments. Let's think of some human inventions and
how they help us do some of the things eagles can do because of their
physical adaptations.
