Sparrow King Arrives In Panama

Sparrow King traversed Colombia over the last two days and arrived in Panama yesterday. He had flown 317 km (197 miles) during that period. He roosted in the tropical forest high on a ridge about 30 km (19 miles) north of the border. He was sleeping in the heart of the Darien region.

Based on his location points, it appears that he had continued to follow the coastal route through Colombia, passing through what is turning out to be one of the main peregrine migration "funnels" that we have discovered on this project. The Pacific shoreline of Colombia might prove to be one of the best locations to observe the peregrine migration in South America and we hope that our colleagues in that country are taking notice of this concentration.
