15 Sept 06: Comet is speeding down the coast. He's an exception to our observations that most birds going down the coast from eastern NC usually hit Cape Fear and head off over the Atlantic from there. Westerly winds might have pushed him inland a bit (his transmitter wasn't on when he made this part of the trip), in which case we wouldn't expect him to head out over the water.       On the 12th-14th he was along the St. John River in northeastern FL. This has to be an Osprey-rich area during fall migration. A lot of our birds have passed through here. He has flown 1329 mi (2139 km) in 8 days, averaging 166 mi/day (267 km/day).
