Azalea Returns to Landfill – Again
December 2, 2009Azalea Travels Dec 1 to Dec 6/7 Midnight
December 7, 2009
BONUS TIME!!! Here is a satellite map of the journey that Azalea has taken since she fledged from her nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden on June 16, 2009. After a one day round-trip on Aug 17-18 across the border into Currituck County, NC. Azalea left NBG on Aug 21 and flew directly to the Northern Neck (Upper Peninsula) of VA. She spent most of the next couple months exploring the Wicomico and Little Wicomico watersheds, but also taking short trips to the Rappahannock River. For the past couple months she has been checking out the Middle Peninsula of VA, especially the landfill near Adner, VA. On Nov 5 she made one brief flight across the York River and I-64 to just north of Williamsburg, VA. I hope you are enjoying following Azalea during her first year as she explores a world that is all brand new to her. – Reese
