Today I was rather disappointed to see only a few good signals coming from our birds. We only have signals from Torrito, Florence, Clara and Foxey. I'm not sure what has happened to the other 4. We've had several days of overcast skies here in northern Utah which could be interfering with the ability of the solar panels to fully charge up the batteries. Hopefully we'll get data soon.
Torrito is currently at the south end of Farmington Bay near the Turpin unit of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. Florence is back near the Gillmor sanctuary south of Brown's Island. Foxey has moved from Farmington Bay across the Antelope Island Causeway to Ogden Bay near Pintail Flats. I believe Clara is still in Farmington Bay but her signal quality is too low to get a good location.

Weekly Update
This week Simba remains near Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and Florence is found today near Gillmor AUDUBON Sanctuary. We have not received any data from Nala since the 3rd of August and still no data coming in from Leah since the 9th of July. All other birds are found within Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area.

On the Move
An interesting move has been observed. Simba, who was captured at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge when he was fitted with his transmitter, has now returned after a stay at Farmington Bay. Additionally, Foxey may have also made a move to Bear River from Farmington Bay although no data points of good quality have been recorded yet.
