Our birds are well on their way for this spring 2009 migration! Once again, U25 has caught the thermals coming off the St. Lawrence River and is moving swiftly northeastward towards her nesting destination. Look up her summer 2008 location to see where she may go this year. We will see more next week.

Once again U21 is migrating along a familiar path. Compare her fall route south to her wintering grounds with her path this spring. And what about U27 and S28? They seem to have a head start with their nest duties. Stay tuned!

Nestcams continue to teach us more about eagle nesting behavior. Tune in often:

It has now been about 3 weeks since bald eagle U27 has transmitted signals from the same location (47.63, -77.32). Has she located her nesting site for spring 2009? We checked the spring 2008 map to see where she spent the spring and summer last year. Look what we found!

Pull out your journals to write your prediction for eagle U27: Will she stay in her current location for nesting, or is she waiting to move on? Stay tuned.
