Belle - The sixth migration, 2016-2017
|
This is Belle's last tracked migration to Brazil, southbound in 2016 and his return in 2017. Belle's radio failed in the spring of 2017 after he had returned to Cape Cod. He was seen in 2018, so we know he's still out there!

Details:
Belle began his sixth migration south on 19 September. He arrived at winter HQ 37 days later on 27 October.
He headed north on 7 March and was in New England 24 days later, on 30 March. This was his fastest trip ever, beating his record of 27 days from the year before.
This picture was taken in the spring of 2018 on Cape Cod. It must be Belle, so we know he made it through another migration cycle.
