No new tracking data yet, I'm afraid - and (laughing) I do wonder if she managed to connect with the WiFi from the Nusatsum River Guest House as she flew by!
But I do have news! Myles has been trying to find time to update the online records for the eagles that were tagged and banded last year - and when I checked today, there was more info about this eagle!
We now know that TERF20 is a female and I believe that she was almost 2 when she was captured at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, BC, on February 7, 2022. I still am not confident in my understanding of the terminology for judging the age of younger eagles, but my best guess is that she hatched in the spring of 2020, and if all goes well, she'll turn three in a couple of months - so about the same age as Loki.
I've added the usual information to the opening post - as well as a picture of this beautiful young eagle as she looked a year ago! I'll also post it here as well - it clicks much bigger, and the detail of the feathers is amazing!
Safe travels, TERF20 - and please check in again soon!
(Note: the time in my picture of the map is in eastern time because that's where my computer is - subtract three hours for the difference in time zones, and my time is the same as what Lynne posted from the pacific time zone where TERF20 is.)

Thank you, Judy. It's great to see her photo and know more about her. TERF20 is a beauty. And WiFi savvy
Re: Tracking TERF20
Myles has provided more pictures of many of the tagged eagles, and I just added two more pics of TERF20 to the opening post.
Here's the cropped version of one of them - love the hairdo!
