The first week-The
new cell tower transmitters give us a mountain
of data. There are so many points that it's
easier to visualize where the bird was by
showing his path. With the new transmitters we
sometimes get locations every 2 minutes!
It's clear that Woody is hunting menhaden (bunker) out
in open water. (hmm-I have him both as "Woody"
and "Woodie" on this map. Will have to check on
what it says on his hatch certificate.) |

Weeks 2-3 -
Still working the open water mostly. |
 |
10 May -Here's
the track from one fishing trip. We can see him
go out and wander around a bit, and then, he's
obviously caught a fish, as he hightails it back
to the nest. |
 |
14 May -Here
we can see two fishing trips (I think). It looks
like he was out and about looking for a school
of menhaden and once he got lucky he flew back
to the nest. Looks like he did this twice in
this 2-3 hour snapshot of his foraging. |
