@ei – Thanks for the tip on the monthly and 7-day maps, I appreciate it! And I also agree with your sentiment…

@Lennoxman – I can’t believe your co-workers didn’t want to disturb you either after all of this time waiting to see Quest! Hopefully someone will have a camera ready next time. How every exciting!!

@Maureen…there are actually 2 maps going on…a monthly one to go with the imprints posts and a weekly one showing the last 7 days (link on the right side of the main Imprint’s page)…I usually follow the weekly one when she starts to worry me!

@Lennoxman…I can’t believe they didn’t want to disturb you…Quest has been away from your place for a while…makes one day trip (confirmed by her transmitter) and they don’t tell you! Sheesh! I know…they thought they were doing the right thing…at least we know she was seen and she really is OK! Did the employee take any pictures, even if not the best? Thanks for keeping an eye out for her!

Hi Everyone. Quest was sighted by numerous Lennox employees last Friday Feb 12.
She was perched in a tree near the shoreline, just outside my office window (about 150 yards from where I normally sit). Apparently, she stayed there for about an hour. Unfortunately, I was in a meeting and the people who spotted her didn’t want to interupt me. As luck would have it…she flew from the tree about 5 minutes before my meeting ended… so I missed her again. One of the employees was going to take a picture of her but their camera did not have a good enough zoom feature to get a good shot. I’ll get a photo soon… I just know it!

Thanks, Chrissy, for posting that! Lots of shelter indeed.

Does anyone know why the last of Quest’s data is dated 1/31, i.e., nothing within the normal 4-5 days from today (2/16)?

Oh man, Chrissy. Can you imagine if she came back to kick Beauty out of town? I would hope that no one gets injured if something like that were to occur again!

Maureen, Google Earth photo taken where Quest signal has been concentrated lately, http://bit.ly/littebluff. Lots of shelter. Note the similarity to High Falls gorge. Must remind her of home.

Quest knows a good thing when she finds it.

glad to hear Quest is doing well and has found a place to stay, I only wish she would find a mate, so as not to be alone.

Is there anything shelter in that area for Quest to go to at night? I tried zooming in to see for myself, but the Google satellite imagery is not cooperating this morning.

I wonder whether those bays near Prince Edward Point are sufficiently deep and protected to remain ice-free and attractive to waterfowl?
