Both Elizabetha and Island Girl Are Now in Panama

Elizabetha selected the coastal route through the rest of Colombia yesterday, traveling a respectable 413 km (257 miles) for the day.

She passed over the rockier, more rugged northern half of that country before passing into the remote Darien Gap region of Panama.

She roosted inland from an amazing little coastal village called "Jaque". Check out the GE pictures. Looks like a pretty cool place. Appears that access is by boat or plane only, unless you happen to be a peregrine.


She slept in a tree right along an absolutely intruiging river that flows west out of the Darien coastal hills. This is definite Harpy Eagle habitat.

It will be interesting to see if she flies across the Gulf to the Pearl Islands today.


So the two tagged falcons were only about 500 km (310 miles) apart last night.


Migration days for Island Girl = 25, Elizabetha=20.
