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.   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.
