Sparrow King Approaching Chile
Sparrow King has flown 310 km (193 mi) in the past two days, and has nearly completed his journey through Peru (and soon, his entire southern migration). He is now only 42 km from Chile, just inland of the Pacific Coast and the coast highway.
In February 2007, an FRG team is traveling to Chile to radio-tag several adult female tundra peregrines. We'll record their travels here, following their migration north to the arctic and then back to Chile next year.
