Loki has checked in!

I'll do more of an update tomorrow - and an update on TERF02 who was in the same part of Alaska this summer, and checked in this morning, though not from the same area - but for now, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Loki was back on the radar, so to speak!

Thanks so much Judy .. great to know Loki is around

Loki just checked in and she’s further down Vancouver Island - I’m posting on my phone so no screenshots until tomorrow - but happy to see her checking in.

Loki will be 9 months old on January 6 - look at how far she's gone since she was released from OWL in mid-July!

And now she's south of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island - and with her eagle eyes might be able to look across to Surrey, where she was hatched.

And it looks as if she's been exploring the Nanaimo River for the last couple of days.

Continuing....

Here's a closer look at the area where she's been since December 23 (and maybe earlier - we don't have data points between December 16 and December 23, though looking at all the businesses in the general area, I think she would have transmitted data within 24 hours of her arrival).

Here's the same map in satellite view, showing that there are lots of trees for her to perch in without getting too close to people, though it is a populated area.

I think she picked a nice place to spend the holiday!

Thanks Judy I do also Loki is one smart eagle.. you posting this shows us just how far our eagles travel.... I would love to see her come to the nest..

Loki checked in last night, and she's still in the same general area south of Nanaimo.

A closer look.

And a little closer, with Terrain turned on.

I had wondered if she had visited the United States (which has different cell tower frequencies, so she wouldn't be uploading data - and from the map it doesn't look as if that's the case - but there actually don't seem to be any data points between December 25 (below) and where she was when she checked in last night - the straight line is the tracker assuming she flew from one point to the other, but we really don't know where's she's been for the past 10 days, unless she uploads additional data today or tomorrow.

Loki has checked in, and she's still in the same general area south of Nanaimo!

Zooming in closer:

Looking at that, I do sort of wonder if the Nanaimo River Hatchery includes a buffet area for wandering eagles.

Here's a little closer in Satellite view - wondering if the brown area is partly landfill - eagles do seem to learn early that food can be found at dumps.

Good to hear from you, Loki - and stay safe!

Thanks Judy and wondweful to hear from you Loki .. eat hearty and stay safe

Loki just checked in, and seems to be exploring another corner of the same general territory.

Good night, everyone, and stay safe.

Thanks for stopping by, Marianne and Bev!

Loki was still in the same general area when she checked in on the 21st:

A closer view:

And satellite view:

Thanks Judy; knowing nothing about that area, is it good fishing or a dumpster area? Water doesn’t seem to be close by.

Good question, Marianne - and I haven't got a clue. But I know some folks who live somewhere near there, so I'll see what I can find.

Announcement - we're updating the combined map to add new eagles and move those who haven't checked in for over a year to a history page - things may look a bit odd for a while, but Loki's personal map shouldn't change. I'm not making a general announcement because I think most of the people following the tracking check on Loki.
