5 May 2008. Homer
is back at home. He saw the
sunrise in Delaware at his first location on this map for 1 May.
The second location for 1 May is just east
of Philadelphia the same day around 15:00. He probably moved further that
day, arriving at his 2 May location late on the 1st. He's just a
bit east of Armonk, NY, and may have passed over the Greenwich Audubon
Sanctuary (where I got my start as a young naturalist at their summer camp
almost 50 years ago) on the 3rd as he pressed on to the Connecticut River
(his location on 5/3 on the map). In Rhode
Island, he flew between Kingston and Charlestown around 09:00 on the 4th and
arrived on the Vineyard sometime later that day. The whole trip was 2,938
miles (4,730 km), which he covered in 23 days. His average distance covered
was 128 miles/day (206 km/day). Amazing.
Since his arrival he has been spending much of his time
around the freshwater mill ponds that were his base of operations all last
summer.

journey.
