The map also shows where U21, U25, and U27 were last summer in their northern habitat. Give the approximate latitude of each bird's summer location. U21 _______________, U25 ________________
U27 _______________.

BONUS: For every 1° change in latitude the eagle travels about 60. miles. According to this map, about how many miles did they travel to their winter grounds?

This globe shows latitudes on the Earth. Put an "x" near the location of our winter eagles.
