The New Year's cold snap hasn't stopped Quest from bouncing around southern Ontario provice in Canada.  We missed a couple of days' worth of data just after the beginning of the year, but since then the information has returned to regular nightly updates.  We've been fortunate to get quite a few readings that...

The maps have been updated, and Quest seems to really like Little Bluff, not far from the Prince Edward Bird Observatory.  She makes occasional side trips, but appears to have a favorite roosting spot, possibly on the cliff overlooking the lake.  Her sensor temperature was almost 25 C / 77 F, so maybe her spot is protected from the wind.

Learn about her new neighborhood:

Interesting that Quest was hatched in an area once known for wheat flour and is now in a place once known for barley.  Maybe she is roosting in the ruins of a grain storehouse or wharf.

I'm learning a lot about Canada and its history by following Quest.
