Elizabetha Returns to the Caribbean

In a somewhat unexpected move, Elizabetha flew 65 km (40 mi) to the northwest and returned to the Caribbean side of Panama yesterday. Her overnight roost was about 2 km from the water. Other birds have backtracked slightly during their migration, particularly during a "rest" phase when they weren't making much progress anyway, but this might be the largest such reversal seen on the Southern Cross Peregrine Project. It's interesting that she has returned to an entirely different ocean, even if the distance involved isn't too great. And, this means that Bud might have another opportunity to spot her when she returns south.
