2004 MAPS

The maps on this page show where the birds were in early August, 2004. To follow an individual bird, click on:

Jaws (young tagged in Chilmark)
Bluebeard (adult male from Aquinnah)
Elsie (adult female from Cow Bay in Edgartown)
Bunga (Elsie's young)
Tasha (young tagged at Tashmoo in Vineyard Haven)

The map below shows the locations of Tasha (52335), Elsie (29381) and her offspring Bunga (52333). Tasha was the last of our tagged young to fledge and is just starting to explore. We only had a few good locations from Bunga while the satellites were overhead. He could have been hunting out in the Sound or moving back and forth from Chappy to Oak Bluffs.

In the map below, Bluebeard (the adult male from Aquinnah-52332) has been hunting fairly far offshore. Jaws, a recent fledgling, has been exploring and checking out the Elizabeth Islands and No Man's Land. (In this map, Elsie's points are hidden beneath Bunga's.)
