Island Girl Enters Ecuador

On her sixteenth day of migration, Island Girl headed due north and crossed the border into Ecuador. She flew 177 km (110 miles) for the day passing between Lojas in Ecuador and Tumbes in Peru. She is currently heading for the coast on the Bay of Guayaquil.

Extensive cloud cover on Google Earth prevents us from getting much information on her roost site. However, she did sleep above 200 meters in the hills near a large mountain lake and about 41 km (21 miles) inland from the coastline.

She is still following the route along the western edge of the Andean foothills.
