Students at Silver Trail Middle School in Pembroke Pines, as part of their 7th grade science curriculum, studied these eagles. They learned about  the life history of the Bald Eagle, its decline in the middle of the last century due to persecution and indiscriminate use of pesticides, and its recovery following the banning of DDT and protection under the Endangered Species Act. Study of the eagles led them into related inquiries: mercury pollution, ecology, careers in the natural sciences, and even the satellite technology that can track the migration of eagles after they leave the nest. They applied the scientific method to design and implement a study of the effects of traffic density on the eagles' behavior at the nest site.

Now the Middle School students invite everyone to vote and name these eagles. The students have narrowed the list of candidate names down to the following six: Ares, Apollo, Hope, Justice, Sparta and Zeus.
