Elizabetha Crosses Nicaragua, Roosts in Honduras

Don is doing my work for me here. He writes...

"Elizabetha is continuing to close the gap on Island Girl, slowly but surely. She travelled 412 km (256 mi) yesterday and is pretty much following Island Girl's route.

Actually they are about 400 km (250 miles) apart now. The gap truly is closing.

She has left Nicaragua and roosted overnight on the edge of the Gulf of Fonseca, in what is probably a stand of mangrove trees, in the southwestern tip of Honduras that extends to the Pacific Ocean between El Salvador and Nicaragua."

I would add that she is roosting near an incredible tidal area featuring extensive shrimp farms. This location has to be loaded with birdlife.

Elizabetha just followed the classic route between Lago Nicaraugua and the Pacific as so many of our tagged peregrines have done in the past. This is being revealed as one of the major migration corridors for peregrines in Central America.
