"Eagle #05 has left southeast Alaska--and is halfway back to her territory across northern British Columbia,"
Jim Watson reported last evening. And as you'll see below, Eagle #13 has finally taken off--at last!
(Watson will hear from Eagle #12 mid-week, and we'll know whether she's left Washington as well.)
Latest Satellite Migration Data
For 2 of our eagles, LAST YEAR'S migration data is also included. Consider these questions in the light of the
latest data.
- To date, how have the timing and route of Eagle #05's migration compared each year?
- How have the timing and route of Eagle #16's trips from year to year compared?
- How many miles did #13 fly between April 2 and April 8? Because he left so much later than the other 2 birds,
do you think he'll travel further north? (See discussion
in today's report for Eastern Eagles.)
- And of course, Challenge Question #10
Challenge Question #10: Guess the Nest
Where do you think our WESTERN eagles' nests are located? Be sure to give the exact latitude and longitude for
each eagle's nest.
