Interesting Motus Swainson's Thrush flight - TN to FL in one hop.
Stuart Mackenzie
Hi folks,
Just for fun, here is an interesting flight -
https://motus.org/data/track?tagDeploymentId=36320
On the last leg of this journey the bird was detected in Tennessee on the night of October 16 -
Oct 16 2021 20:36:38 GMT-0400, and was detected in Florida Oct 17 2021 03:41:47 GMT-0400. That rough distance of about 700km took the bird about 7 hours, roughly 92 km/h to be exact with a tail wind of 60 km/h tailwinds at
850 hpa. Winds that night -

This is in line with other direct flights of thrushes observed from throughout the network including some of our previous direct Colombia to Gulf of Mexico spring migration flights. There are plenty of gems like this in our database just waiting to be plucked.
A recent papers from this project was recently published.

Hi Stu,
Just a word to say that I enjoyed looking at the maps. And I extracted some useful additions to my English-French working dictionary taken from some terminology in the first two references to scientific papers that you give below.
Best wishes,
Serge
