Sparrow King is Approaching Chile
Sparrow King covered another 583 km (362 mi) in the past two days after leaving the vicinity of Lima, Peru. He's now about 2 km from the Pacific Ocean and west of the city of Arequipa, about 350 km from the Chilean border.
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.
