Sparrow King Back in the Peruvian Atacama Desert

Sparky continued to fly south along the classic west coast migration route in South America. Last night, he roosted in the foothills of the Andes just southeast of the coastal city of Trujillo, about 8 km from the Pacific coast, after flying 542 km (337 miles) over the last two days.

He is now deep in the heart of the Atacama Desert once again.
