Lookout and Rio Patuca-one month now

Hello,

A belated Happy Thanksgiving to all! The latest on Lookout has us thankful that he is still doing well. He has been in and around Rio Patuca for a month nowand we are very happy with this information. We have included a wideshot and a real closeup of Lookout's location. All of the lines are of his recent flight paths. He probably sits in a tree by the river and waits for an unsuspecting victim to cross and "Hello!" Seems to be a good working plan! We'll keep watching and hopefully, you will as well. Thanks!

Rio Patuca-Lookout's vacation paradise

Hello Everyone,

Lookout is still living the tropical life around Rio Patuca. He has been here for nearly one month now and seems to have all that he needs. The two images on today's blog entry are of a wide shot of the coast of Honduras and a closer shot. Click on either to enlarge. On the closer image, one can see all of his flight lines over the last week. The red dots represent his activity from 11/20-21/11. The upper most red dot was from 3:00 p.m. on 11/21. Let hope that he continues to do well. We will have more reading in a few days, so check back then and often. Thank you for following this amazing young Peregrine's first migration!

Lookout is still around Rio Patuca

Hello,

As you can see, Lookout is still around Rio Patuca. He has been here for several weeks now and must have a great source of food. We're sorry that it has been a few days since the last post, but we are currently having trouble uploading the info from Google Earth directly to this blog. The image you see is more or less a "photo" of his current location. You can click on the image to view it in a larger format. By the way, in the far right corner of the image, check out the way "Caribbean" is spelled.

In some other news, we will be in Nashville this weekend at the Cheekwood Botanical Garden http://www.cheekwood.org/Public_Programs/Wild_West_Weekends.aspx We have a program at 12:00 p.m. CST. Come early and see the presentation before us. Dr. Charles Preston of the Draper Museum, Cody Wyoming, will be doing a presentation at 11:00 on the Golden Eagle. It should be a very informative program.

Speaking of programs, where is our fearless, ageless leader Doris Mager? She is currently in Texas for her annual tour of the Texas State Parks. This week, she is at Ray Roberts State Park http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/ray_roberts_lake/ and will be there through this weekend, with a side presentation at Johnson Branch. Thanksgiving week, she be over at Fort Richardson State Park http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/fort_richardson/ for several presentations. Doris continues to amaze and inspire us at the ripe, young age of 86! To schedule a program with Doris, give her a call at 828-506-8106.

We hope to see you somewhere and if you wish to schedule a program with Dale and John, call 706-657-3278, e-mail s.o.a.r.south@hotmail.com and please visit our website at http://www.soarsouth.org/ Thanks for visiting!

Lookout and Rio Patuca-a great combination!

Hello,

This post still has Lookout around Rio Patuca. Like he did in southern Mexico, he has found a great spot and doesn't really need to move. Still, it is great to see that he is active and doing well. Follow along, for in a few days, we will have more readings. By the way, this Sunday, November 13th, we will be at Cumberland Mt. State Park http://www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/CumberlandMtn/index.shtml near Crossville, Tennessee. Our presentation is in the Recreation Lodge at 2:00 CST. Come early if you want a seat! Thanks!

Lookout still likes Rio Patuca

Hello There,

Lookout is still in the same general area around Rio Patuca. He is just a few miles inland. He obviously has great hunting there and some good weather. Pretty soon, the rainy season will be upon the area. What will he do next? Keep following!Thanks!

Lookout is still in Honduras around Rio Patuca

Hello Everyone,

Lookout the Peregrine Falcon is still in Honduras and is around the Rio Patuca. He has an affinity to rivers and this riparian habitat offers plenty of hunting possibilities. There are a lot of migrant birds in the area and a river offers an opening in the forest/jungle for a bird such as Lookout to set up an easy ambush. Will he stay here for and extended period like he did in southern Mexico? We will see...
