	DJ - 1-15 May 2013.      DJ is our first cell-tower transmittered bird on Martha's Vineyard. If you didn't follow our Westport River birds last year and are used to the data from the satellite transmitters, this looks like (and is!) one heck of a lot of data. The satellite transmitters are limited by how much data they can send up to a satellite, so we only got about 12 hourly locations per day. We now can get that many locations per hour with the new transmitters. It's going to take a while to figure out how to present those data efficiently.      For the first 2 weeks we followed DJ, he was doing almost all his fishing at Tisbury Great Pond, about 10 miles from his nest on Chappaquiddick.
	4 May 2013 - With the new cell-tower transmitters giving us locations every few minutes, we can now see in real detail how our birds get around. DJ has been hunting Deep Bottom Cover (the cluster of points at the far west of his points in this map). We can see that when he left the nest and was heading towards his favorite fishing spot, he didn't go straight there. Rather, he sort of moseyed over checking out various ponds and coves along the way to see if he might get lucky before getting to the current mother lode of (presumably) herring of some sort in Deep Bottom. When he headed back, it was pretty much a straight shot. He was bringing home the bacon!
	DJ 16-21 May -      DJ continues to do much of his fishing at Deep Bottom Cove on Tisbury Great Pond. He's also started to spend more time around Katama Bay.
	DJ 22-28 May -      DJ's nest failed at some point in May--we're not sure exactly when. At this point, he was spending days over at Deep Bottom without returning to his nest.
	DJ 29 May - 5 June -      DJ came back home and is spending quite a bit of time at the opening from Katama Bay to the Atlantic Ocean.
	DJ 6-12 June -      DJ made one trip back to Deep Bottom, but the herring party seems to be over there.
