Brassy whimbrels fly more than 2,500 miles out to sea and through the heart of the Atlantic Ocean completing a nonstop flight of 6 days
August 13, 2012Azalea is doing as she has done for the past two summer seasons. Fly to the NC Tidewater Research Station near Plymouth, NC, spend a few weeks, fly back to Virginia for a few days, then return to TRS. Expect we will see her do that a couple more times this summer. For now she is at TRS – data points – YELLOW arrow Aug 4 at 1:00am, PINK pointer Aug 5 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer Aug 6 at 7:00am, PURPLE pointer Aug 7 at 1:00am, and as of this satellite map WHITE arrow Aug 7 at 2:00pm.

Azalea, enjoy your summer vacation in NC at the TRS. Eat well mf, I’ll be waiting for you… hope to see you at HB or Chesapeake. You pick the place, we’ll be there! ♫ …see you, in Sept… ♪ ♫
I knew she would come back to her second home…Thank you so much for the up dates on AZ,Cam and KE Can’t wait for the next report to see their travels…And the Wimbrel’s..how about Hope …she has seen it all done it all.. She is awsome!
Reese – are there nests in the TRS area and is the area as crowded with breeding eagles as it seems the Norfolk area is? Just wondering if it would be possible she would decide to settle where her fave fish are.
Response – I have not taken an inventory so do not know if a nest is located in the area around TRS. Several eagles do visit there. Azalea is not there alone.
