Bald Eagle Looking at the Fall Migration Traveling hundreds of mile each fall, these migrating eagles complete an amazing journey. As lakes and rivers freeze in the north latitudes the Bald eagles begin their fall migration. How far south will they travel, and where will they go during the winter season? As you study fall migration consider these questions: What habitat are they seeking each fall? Where do they stop along the migration route? Why do they return to the New York area? Satellite transmitters (PTT's) give us a sneak peak at eagle migration - right from our classrooms. Meet Bald Eagles U21, U25, U27, and S28 Let's study our 4 bald eagles. What can you learn about the eagles from their fall travels? Take a look! Fall 2008 Eagle Migration Meet the Eagles Pictures and Stories >> (map)/( data) Try This! Divide into groups.

When did Eagle U25 leave its nest site to start the migration south? The others? Which eagle left earliest? During which dates did each eagle migrate the most quickly? How are the migrations of the four birds similar? How are they different? Summarize what this map tells you about bald eagle migration. Name one new question you have.
