All Three Birds Sort Of On Hold.....

A day of slowdowns. Two of our three of our migrants moved very little yesterday. Sparrow King crossed James Bay and was still heading east.

" We now have all the data for 24 May. Island Girl took the day off yesterday, remaining in the same vicinity southwest of Lake Manitoba. Her 3 daily GPS fixes were separated by about 15 km (9 mi).

Elizabetha flew halfway across S. Dakota, covering 136 km (85 mi). She roosted overnight about 25 km southeast of Pierre.

Sparrow King resumed his modified route around Hudson Bay over the past 2 days. He continued east for 276 km (172 mi), crossed James Bay, and is now in western Quebec."
