TRR photo by Scott Rando The antenna on this two-and-a-half-year-old eagle at Mongaup , spotted last week, is a platform terminal transmitter (PTT) used for tracking eagles via satellite. The PTT was fitted during the spring of 2006 during a NYSDEC nest visit as part of a study to track immature eagle movements.
