Tracking
Monarchs and Whooping Cranes on Fall Migration
and the Wanderings of Polar Bears We
follow the migrations, in real time, via the internet and plot monarch
and crane progress on side-by-side tracking maps in our school
library. Our tracking data for these species is obtained via maps and news reports
posted on the Journey North
website (monarchs and cranes), on the Operation
Migration website (cranes).

We update our Whooping Crane tracking map
daily,
using data from the Journey
North and Operation
Migration
websites.. We record the distance flown and the distance
still to fly on the sign in the lower right corner of the map.
We also track the wanderings
of Polar Bears being monitored, via satellite, by World Wildlife Fund
Canada and plot their routes on a map.
