Sparrow King Continues North In Peru

Over the last two days, Sparky has covered more sky, burning across the deserts of Peru. He flew 662 km (412 miles) and is now about 40 km north of Trujillo, which is more than three quarters of the way across this enormous country.

At this rapid rate, he should be in or nearing Ecuador when we obtain his next signals. He is making some really excellent time crossing the Atacama. His last two signals suggest he is flying a bit inland from the coastline but we can't be certain to what extent.
