Sparky in Colombia

Sparrow King continues to lead the pack and has flown into Colombia. He covered 508 km (316 miles) over the last two days and is about halfway through the country.

He is following the classic coastal route as he has done over the last two years. Once again, this is proving to be an important migratory corridor for peregrines en route to North America.

It appears that he roosted in some dense tropical jungle in the lowlands near the mouth of a large estuary. Maps show it to be in Choco Province in a roadless area. This looks like one of those areas that is about as remote as you can get.
