Hello & Good Morning everyone,
and thanks for all updates from Bird Map and TrackerMap, and for all comments, news, photos, and links !

Treia, thanks for the wonderful pictures. I think I recognise some of them! ;-)
(Seeing the photo of our sweet little Päike is rather painful.)

Treia, thanks a lot for the beautiful pictures of Karl, Kati and their children! It‘s so nice to see them again, although we know about Päikes fate ...

Thanks for the thanks, but sorry if I produce pain with my images, it wasn't intended. Karl has a great family and I wanted to see them all again. That's why I searched Karl's & Kati's picture and additionally also an own picture of each of their chicks, without forgetting anyone. I think the pictures are beautiful, and they are 'reminding' us all of whose flights we follow with happy, assiduity, and sometimes with big worry.

Hello everybody,

maybe that's interesting for one or the other.

The flying skills decide about the destination:
In 2014, a team of biologists at Lake Constance (Germany) equipped young storks with mini transmitters that record positions and movements. The scientists have now investigated initial data on the migratory behaviour of birds - and after ten minutes they are able to predict whether an stork will land in Spain or Africa.

Unfortunately only available in German:

Modi, Many Thanks!!

I just saw that it's your first msg on the forum, and I must say, it's really a "Gourmet" !!
An Interesting issue and amazing results of the research.

Sorry I'm a little late with my comment. Needed more time to translate and read it all.
Really great article

It‘s so nice to see them again, although we know about Päikes fate ...

That's just it. We don't know. I mean, we don't really _KNOW_.
And I keep insisting we will not know for sure until the rings are spotted, or the transmitter comes back online.
So in the meantime I like to think Päike's wintering somewhere in Africa carrying a broken transmitter. Maybe eventually to the full 20-ish year lifespan. No way to tell either way unless spotted.

Good morning, everyone

Thanks for all updates and comments.
I have put all the data in yesterday's summary.

Michi, thank you. I'll just do what I can. Our birds and the forum are currently a welcome "distraction".

Thanks for the thanks, but sorry if I produce pain with my images, it wasn't intended.

I know, Treia! Please don't worry.
It was simply touching to suddenly see the picture of our beautiful Päike.

Pazi , in the strict sense of logic, you are of course right. We do not know what happened to Päike (or her transmitter). Although, in my opinion, some scenarios are more likely than others, every statement remains speculation. There is no evidence.

Here are the tracker maps from this morning.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 17th

Good Morning!

I see Karula is going back to her favorite ponds and I hope they prepared some new young fishies for him/her.

While Maru is still in same area and is not moving north. Seems like she likes her poles and dirty places

[Treia]

Hello and Good Morning from here too!

Maru and Karula seems to have new update in BirdMap.

Good afternoon, and apologies for lateness.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 18th

Good Morning !

I think we have to change Karula's area. She is now at the Beit-She'an Valley, as written in the wiki of
Neve Ur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neve_Ur

Hello all and good afternoon !

New update for Maru and Karula in Bird Map.

[Hellem]

18.01

Karula - 6042 km (+29 km), he/she flew to the south direction and is near Tirat Zvi in Israel
Maru - 8266 km (+32 km), the same area near Adindan in Egypt

KARULA
localisation on birdmap today - Tirat Zvi

[Anne7]

Hello, everyone

Thanks for the updates!

Today, our little Maru is exactly 8 months old.

I think we have to change Karula's area. She is now at the Beit-She'an Valley, as written in the wiki of Neve Ur. ...

Abigyl, I have been hesitating too.
I read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Valley
"... Unlike most other river valleys, the term "Jordan Valley" often applies just to the lower course of the Jordan River, from the spot where it exits the Sea of Galilee in the north, to the end of its course where it flows into the Dead Sea in the south. ..."
(I removed everything. Could you please tell me what is correct on which day, and I will correct it?)
