| It is March, and when March arrives with a storm, which it did—bringing lots of snow to the East—we say it has come in "like a lion." How will the wintery weather affect the eagles? Let's look at our map for clues. | ||

One eagle is starting to move! Study the map. Can you tell which one? Eagle U25 has traveled in a NE direction for the second week in a row. Let's watch her flight in animation this spring. Keep your eye on this map each week to see if she is really starting her migration, or whether she is just moving to a new winter location. When did she start her migration last year?

Eagles are on an endless search for food. As you learned from reading the Field Reports (above), they eat many different things depending on what is available. Imagine having to eat 10 to 15% of your own body weight each day to survive. How many pounds would that be for you? Keep your eagle journals handy while you read this slideshow so you can add some eagle facts to your list!

Norfolk
Botanical Garden has an eagle nest you can watch from your classroom!
A pair of adult bald eagles is incubating 3 eggs under the watchful eye
of a remote camera. Their first egg was laid on February 10. The second
one came three days later, and the third was laid February 19.
This is the 4th year in row that this pair has had a three egg clutch,
according to officials. Last year, two eggs were broken and the third
egg hatched. That eaglet is being cared for at the Wildlife Center of
Virginia after contracting Avian Pox.
