Elizabetha Moving Slowly Up the Gulf Coast

Yesterday, Elizabetha continued to fly slowly north along the tropical Gulf Coast of Mexico. She covered 196 km (122 miles) for the day and arrived at a huge, salt-water bay very reminiscent of the Laguna Madre at Padre Island. This area will be loaded with birdlife of all sorts.

She roosted for the night in a wide, open, tropical field close to the bay. There were a series of some small ponds in her proximity.

She was about 88 km (55 miles) south of Tampico.
