Exactly where do you suppose the nests of eagles that winter in New York might be located? After years of research by Peter Nye and other biologists, enough information was collected to make this map. The the 3 eagles you are tracking this spring are heading SOMEWHERE in this part of Canada, but their nests could be anywhere from Labrador to western Ontario. Using today's data see if you can answer this year's final Challenge Question:
Challenge Question #108
Guess the Nest
"Where do you think each eagle's nest is located? Please send the
exact latitude and longitude of the location you are guessing."
Next week will be our last eagle migration update. Over the summer we will work with Peter Nye and begin planning for next year's spring migration. We hope to be able to track a live migration once again next year--and we hope you'll join us!
In Earth Day report we asked, "Where was each eagle on Earth Day in 1992, 1994 and 1995? " (Earth Day is April 22nd.) Here's what students at Drummond High School thought:
