Rob has updated maps and tagging details "I've updated all the maps except for the Nantucket boys. Want to know what they're doing, just look at the last map I posted for them on their last update. Other birds are more interesting. Penelope is still the star of the show this summer, but the 2 young we tagged (DE and MVY) are beginning to move around a bit. Penelope may be heading south soon. Normally, adult females go down in mid-August, but we really don't know what 2 yr olds do. The story on the Long Island adult (North Fork Bob) is quite complicated. Tomorrow morning I'm going to show the youngsters one way to get to Brazil, although I don't suspect they'll follow me though Dallas. I'm going to the International Ornithological Congress near Sao Paulo, with a 2-day junket up to my old research station in the middle of the .. Amazon.

Rob's update yesterday on Penelope. "Really bad news--Penelope survived her boat ride, went through P.R. and the Virgin Islands, crossed the Caribbean, but seems to have been lost at sea only 15 miles from land--after resting for a couple of days on some islands just north of Venezuela. We're getting signals from her out over the water for 3 days. It's hard to figure out, but I can't come up with any scenario other than her body is floating around out there. Major bummer. Maybe she'll surprise me in another 3 days, but I doubt it. Everyone else is safe. Sr. Bones is in Venezuela, Mr. Hannah's resting up in Curacao (he hopped on a boat in the Caribbean, too--seems to be the year for this), Gunny's in Haiti, Neale's in Cuba, Thatch has definitely settled down in West Palm Beach (3rd DE Osprey to do a short-stop migration), Buck has settled down again after a surprising junket around Lake Maracaibo and then another out west of his HQ, Sanford just made it to Cuba, and Bob was on the shore of the D.R. on the 5th, so he's probably out over the Caribbean now. There's some nasty weather east of Puerto Rico now, but he should have missed that. Belle is the winner of the "last one out turn out the lights" award, although Dick Jennings reports there are some others around, and the Cape Henlopen hawk watch (down in DE where we tagged Thatch) counted 288 Ospreys yesterday, so there are still birds coming down the coast."

Well, before we close 2010...posting Rob's migration updates. I can't believe I didn't post the 12/16 update I often get very involved with the maps, my only excuse 12/16/10 Belle and Thatch both continue to move. Belle is now farther south than any bird we have followed. She has flown more than 4,000 miles from home! New maps are posted for both. Everyone else is fine and hunkered down for the duration. http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/Bierregaard/migration10.htm 12/29/10 Well, we seem to have all 6 of our survivors tucked in for the winter. The adults (Sanford, Sr. Bones, and North Fork Bob) are all sitting very tight. Buck, due to come home to South Carolina for the first time sometime in the spring, is also sitting tight. Our two youngsters may wander a bit more, but they both seem to have found lakes that are providing plenty of fish. It was a really rough fall--a reminder that it is not easy being an Osprey and that random events play an important role out there in the natural world. Despite the losses, we have as many birds (maybe more) as we've ever had over wintering down south. We'll keep our fingers crossed that they all successfully dodge fish farms on their way north. Map updates will be sporadic as the winter progresses until the adult males head north sometime in February or March. 'Til then, Happy New Years to all! Rob Bierregaard JAZZEL |
