16-19 Sep -- Conomo
followed Patience and Claws over the Atlantic shortcut from NC to
Florida--seems to be the thing to do this year. Our first fix for him out
over the Atlantic was 23:21 about 300 miles from the coast of NC. Other
birds have averaged about 30 mph out over the water, so we can guesstimate
that he left land behind around 1 PM. The whole crossing covered 530 mi
(860 km) and probably took around 18 hours.
On the 19th he moved down the coast a bit. The
coordinates for the last fix is in downtown Miami. We're pretty sure he
was not window shopping but rather a bit west, maybe in the Everglades, or
east along the beach. These are non-GPS locations, so they're not all that
accurate.
