A couple of things to share with all of you today. It looks like the folks doing the midwest eagle migration study want to come back this year and work with our three eaglets. That will likely happen in the next couple of weeks sometime. It will be interesting to see if the three from this year have any similar travel patterns to Star & Sky.
Speaking of Star & Sky, Sky had not checked in for about five days now. His battery was very low the last time he made contact. We assume he is doing OK and hopefully we will see some data from him soon. In the meantime, Star is on a travel frenzy. A week ago she had headed south down toward Burlington, Iowa. A few days ago she moved a little to the west and then headed north. In the last 24 hours she has traveled about 180 kilometers and now is just north of Wisconsin Dells. Regular watchers here will remember that Star spent most of last summer and early fall flying around in Wisconsin. Sky on the other had spent most of last summer and fall down around St. Louis and further south.
Also below you will see a few pictures I took today near the nest of Liberty & Justice. First sitting together at the top of the tree and a few shots flying around the nest area.
