Here’s an interesting bit we found this morning: The Center for Conservation Biology, CCB, has been using “on board” GPS tracking devices to track the movements of bald eagles since 2007. What began as a large Department of Defense study and other smaller projects has culminated in 70 eagles fitted with GPS trackers. The devices have reported daily for the last six years to amass the world’s largest “dataset” for eagles–nearly one million locations! You can even follow the eagles via online GPS tracking software: http://www.wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?project_id=349&dyn=1357316048
