Our friend and colleague, Marco Saborio, was able to intercept and
photograph Island Girl, a migrant satellite-tagged adult female peregrine,
on a cell tower in Limon, Costa Rica yesterday.
She is completing her fourth migration from Chile to Baffin Island right
now.
Remarkably, this is the second time Marco has tracked down and photographed
a Southern Cross peregrine traveling through his country.
We have posted his first photos at www.frg.org. Click on Southern Cross
Peregrine Project in yellow, and choose the blog to read about the details
and see her photos.
You can also follow her route under the "tracking maps" section. Don't
forget to zoom in and change the map box to "hybrid". Sometimes you can
make out the shadows of the cell towers she seems to like.
And a special thank you to Marco and his friend who also helped out in
Limon, Manuel Castro.
Island Girl has been observed during past migrations in both Veracruz,
Mexico and San Antonio, Chile, and of course, back on her "summer
wintering" grounds in Chile.
We live in remarkable times.
