Elizabetha North of Lima

Elizabetha continued to follow the coastal route yesterday covering 269 km (167 miles) for the day. She is really hugging the coastline this year as can be seen from her last two points. She must have flown right over Lima.

She roosted in the desert near some sort of water impoundment and only 2.1 km (1.3 miles) from the ocean. From the colors shown on Google Earth, i.e. white, I strongly suspect that these are salars or salt ponds.

These type of impoundments usually support lots of bird life.
