Elizabetha Taking a Break

After her extraordinary, hurricane Omar-fueled 954 mile flight, Elizabetha took a day off and flew 93 km (58 miles)south to Palm Beach, Florida. She put in for the night just south (basically across the street) of the Palm Beach International Airport.

It looked like she might roost on a small forested island in the lagoon between the mainland and a barrier island, but then she flew inland to the west across hundreds of homes, cars, trucks and the I-95 freeway before selecting a site in a small grove of trees pretty much surrounded by parking lots in a industrialzed area between two major highways.

Hmmmmmmm.....well, OK, we keep on learning here. Not exactly the unspoiled Arctic but it will do, apparently.
