| GOEA 45 |
We're happy to give you an update on the travels of three golden eagles. The project information, along with interactive map and bios of the birds, can be found on Audubon Minnesota's site here. You can also find information on National Eagle Center's site.
GOEA45 – Jeanette – arrived back on her breeding site on April 3, the same day she arrived in 2012. This year we recorded her traveling about 1800 miles compared with the 2200 miles she travelled last year (these distances are measured directly between evening roosts so do not include any meanderings during the day). She left her Waupaca County, Wis wintering area on March 1 this year and Feb 16 last year. In the map, see the red line is her travel in 2012 and the yellow line is her
travel in
2013.

GOEA53 – Jack – has spent the past
few days north of the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, Canada. We
will have to wait and see if this is his summer destination and if he shows any
indication of nesting here
