Where is she Now? |
Osprey nest in the Montezuma Wetlands Complex and other locations in this area, and winter in South America. The map shows the position and fall migration track (pink dots) of the 'Zuma' osprey in the monitoring program starting in June 2001.
The brown dots show the data available for spring 2001; there was no data until she showed up in North Carolina on March 27.
In addition, a female osprey nesting in the MNWR main pool and known as 3D (the number on her band) had been fitted with a transmitter in 1999. The data for this bird is plotted in green dots. Note that because of a telemetry problem there is no data between upstate NY(09/08) and Cuba (09/19), so the track almost certainly is not correct. Her transmitter failed shortly after she reached Venezeuela.
