Island Girl Heading North

We have received confirmation that Island Girl is definitely migrating to the north. Both Doppler and GPS signals indicate that she has flown 665 km (413 miles) over the last two days.

She is taking the inland route, moving through the dry foothills of the Andes Mountains. The last signals show her to be just north of La Serena and heading towards Vallenar. This is right where the Atacama Desert begins in earnest.

As she flew north, she was only 41 km (26 miles) inland from the La Serena birds territory and was likely in view of the coastline.

She is approaching near to the cluster of famous southern observatories located north of La Serena.

Very gratifying to have called this one correctly.
