Wildlife Tracker

 Ecologists are tracking the movement of several of New Jersey's Bald Eagles. Posted on a cool site called Eagle Trax, the ecologists share some animated maps showing their GPS tracking of these majestic raptors. 

Two of the eagles, Duke and Pedro, have very NJ-centric interests. And the tracks let you see when the eagles travelled and when they hunkered down. So I can see that Duke (who was born at Duke Farms) is currently working the some lakes along the Delaware River between Yardley and Trenton. These aren't just local trips - one of the eagles has gotten pretty far up into Canada.

Check it out.
