Houston: The Whimbrel has Landed

August 24, 2012 | Dr. Jeff Wells

Just a quick update that Pingo has in fact landed in Brazil after the long, multi-day migration beginning in Maritime Canada. There was some guessing as to whether Pingo would end up in Brazil or the neighboring French Guiana. Pingo had to navigate around Tropical Storm Isaac (better illustrated with this map from the previous update). You can get more details about Pingo's route getting here on our last blog.

Here's where Pingo finally landed:

Let's hope Pingo finds some good beach/wetland habitat with plenty of food to stock back up after that long, long flight!
