June 17 ~ Charlie spent the early morning making trips between the nest at the west end transfer station and Hay Harbor, the southern shoreline, and open water to the south.
Mid morning, he made another trip to the southern shoreline, then headed north off-island to the Thames River. He reached the Long Cove area in Ledyard, then returned to the nest on Fishers Island through mid afternoon.
Late in the afternoon, Charlie made a loop around the west end, then made a second trip to the Thames River. He returned to the nest in the early evening, then made a trip to Silver Eel Cove before settling near the nest for the night.
