Out-n-About in Manitoba - 2020
Kinderchick:
Island Girl is amazing! About how old would she be, TPC? :-\
The Peregrine Chick:
As of this morning at 0700h, Island Girl was just a few kilometers south of the Manitoba-Nunavut border. Depending on her flightpath she could already be out of the province and about to hang a right towards Baffin Island. This is her 41st day on migration and as of 0700h she had traveled 12,873 km (7,999 mi) if she were to fly in a straight-line she would have another 1,450 km (900 mi) to go.
Last year she flew a similar northern route and it took her 4 days to get from about where she is now to the area where she nests during which she flew 1,600 km - that's 400 km per day - the straight line distance from Winnipeg to Brandon and back. Other years it has taken her a week to get from Manitoba to Baffin so she could be back by the end of the weekend or it could take her until the weekend after. She seems to be on a pretty quick run this year.
Kinderchick:
I always love hearing about Island Girl & her migration locations. :)
The Peregrine Chick:
Island Girl the tundra peregrine that usually passes through Maniroba at some point in her migration has just entered the province but much further north than usual - she icame across the Saskatchewan border close to Lynn Lake and is currently just east of Lac
And for those who ask who made the sighting (as per the thread title) I admit that this comes from the data from her satellite transmitter. I figured folks would still be interested based on previous years.

Doesn't seem to be the case, just first-timers who haven't decided a) if they are going to nest and/or b) where they want to nest. If a) they are going to eventually choose a b) and we'll be watching 8)
