Journey North Bald Eagle Migration

About the Bald Eagle Migration Spring			Getting Started

Tracking Bald Eagles by Satellite The Bald Eagle has made a recovery celebrated as a conservation success story. Recently moved from "Endangered" to "Threatened" status, they continue to be monitored in the U.S.. Again this year New York biologist Peter Nye tracks breeding adult eagles as they migrate from their wintering grounds in New York to their nesting grounds in Canada. These birds are fitted with satellite transmitters allowing researchers to study their locations during the day and night. Peter Nye and his researches will share their data with students this season. New this season we will ride along with New Hampshire Audubon’s conservation biologist, Christian Martin, in an exciting new study of bald eagles along the Merrimack River. This study is being launched as we start up our 2008 season. If successful, we will learn more about the birds' habitat needs along the Merrimack and then follow them on their migrations north in the spring. Will the project succeed in their attempts to get off the ground? Stay tuned as we follow this exciting study of the bald eagles in New Hampshire. Both these studies offer a valuable look into the lives, behavior, and conservation needs of Bald Eagles. Students learn about the eagles' life cycle, habitat, and diet; they review data from previous years and predict when and where the eagles will travel this spring. Throughout the spring, students study eagles as the biologist does, using real-time data and real-life stories.
