NE Into the Tundra

Island Girl resumed her migration yesterday, flying 154 km (96 miles) to the northeast towards Hudson Bay. GE weather shows clearing in the area.

Her transmitter voltage has returned to normal and we are again receiving solid signals.

Last night, she roosted in an area of extensive lakes and ponds typical of this region in northern Manitoba. Looks like she slept on a ridge overlooking the wilderness of water that surrounds her and it appears to be a good vantage point for hunting. She was about 45 km (28 miles) south of the Nunavut border at this point.

Her bearing has finally turned to the NE and she is currently heading for Hudson Bay. I would speculate that she is likely to fly directly across the frozen bay en route home to Baffin Island but let's see what she decides to do.
