Quest Moves East; Data Feed Restored!

Five weeks after losing our data feed for Quest and many phone calls and emails later, we’re overjoyed to report that we are once again receiving our daily updates for Quest. You’ll be happy to know that she’s alive and well, and on the move again!

Given her previous pattern you won’t be surprised to learn that she’s made a mostly lateral move along Highway 401. This morning she was near Kingston, Ontario, but in the afternoon she jumped the lake over Cape Vincent and landed just outside of Watertown, New York.

As you may imagine we have a lot of data to sort through so look for updated maps to begin appearing in the next couple of days. In the meantime we can all breathe a sigh of relief that we’re back online with Quest.

The Rochester Falconcam wants to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the folks at the DEC, and especially Barbara Loucks, who went above and beyond to track down the right people with the satellite data company in order to get the email feed restored. Many thanks also to June Summers who’s been our point person trying to get this tangle unraveled. Great work everyone!

    A big “thanks” to you, Barbara, June, and anyone else involved in clearing this up.

    Just in time for Fall migration, too. Is she following a river of migrating birds? I wonder whether she will be riding those strong northwest winds toward Cape Cod and Nantucket?

    Paul, and if she does, I’m going to be on Nantucket Oct. 14-20 looking for her!

    Very relieved to hear that Quest is back on the radar. Thank you to everyone who made it possible! I wonder where she is going too, maybe back to the cape or maybe she will meet her future mate during the migration. Exciting times ahead and great timing in getting everything back in order so now we can see where she goes! Safe travels Quest!
