No Movement Yet for Elizabetha

Elizabetha continues to remain in the Putu Dunes area and has not started her northbound migration yet.

Last year, she departed on 12 April, four days earlier than today, so she is still within a reasonable limit.

We are receiving Doppler signals from her transmitter but her battery voltage is too low for the more accurate GPS signal.

We suspect that the dense coastal fog of the approaching fall is preventing her from getting a solid solar charge.

More as it comes in....
