McKenzie Seeds - 2011 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
Ellie:
I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks but it sure is good to see pictures and hear about the Brandon birds. I had forgotten that your babies out there have "antennae" so that they can be "spied" on. So easy to forget such things. I do suppose they will let us know about them now and again. If not there will be a few disappointed forum watchers to be sure. Our weather has been so beautiful that it has been wonderful for the young'uns to get all their flying skills honed. Sure is going to be a long winter for all of us when we no longer have sightings. Australia here we come!!! Thanks for all the pics RCF and all the posts from both you and Rose. :-* Ciao

From what I understand, the transmitters were activated as soon as they were put on Rain and Rosser, so I imagine they are being tracked this very minute. I think the transmitters download to a computer at certain intervals and could do this daily, weekly or monthly. That's how I understand it works.

Luck was spotted in Winnipeg at HSC last autumn - 200+ km from Brandon
and Sandy was spotted at the Radisson that's 350+ km from her nestsite in Fargo, North Dakota

Wasn't Luck from 2009 nest? She had migrated 2009 from Brandon and returned to ?? and then turned up in Winnipeg last fall 2010, so she turned up when she was a year old not the year that she fledged. Good that she made it back to Manitoba and was seen by you.
