This is Too Cool!

I just recently found out that they put a transmitter on one of the juvenile Decorah eagles and that they have a map on their site so that all of us, if we want can track her travels. Oh yea, I forgot to tell you all that it is a female. They apparently did it last month. Here is the link in case you don't have it. Just click on the words The Decorah Eagles. The map is at the bottom of the page. So far she's traveled quite a distance north. It'll be interesting to see where she goes this winter.

There was also an episode of a show on PBS here in Iowa called, "Outdoors Iowa" that covered them catching and putting the transmitter on the young eagle. One reason they gave for putting the transmitter on her was because they have never been able to know if the past juveniles have survived. I hope she survives and goes on to raise her own eaglets.
