Greetings, We are tracking an Osprey from her nest site near the Grand Lake area. We named her Shadow because her nest was on the shore of Shadow Mountain Reservoir. We also tracked her in 2013 but the satellite tracking device fell off just before 2014 spring migration. We were happy to recapture her again in June of 2016 and see that she is doing fine and now we're tracking her south to her wintering site again.
Shadow crossed the US/Mexico border sometime between 9 am and noon on September 12th. As of 9 am this morning the location fix shows her at Laguna Madre Biosphere Reserve which is the same location where she over-wintered in 2013-2014 . In the fall of 2013 she flew up the Rio Grande briefly before settling in at her wintering site. We'll see if she does that again this fall. This year it took her a total of eight days to travel the 1,100 miles from her nesting area to arrive at what will likely be the place where she will spend the winter.
