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.
