Charlie Tracking July 1
July 1 ~ After a night near Hay Harbor, Charlie headed to the southern shoreline on the west end of Fishers Island early in the morning. He then headed north off-island to the mouth of the Thames River, then briefly visited the Groton Reservoir and returned to mouth of the river. He stopped at Baker Cove, then crossed the river to New London before he returned to the island and stopped by the nest at the west end transfer station.
Charlie immediately made another trip to the Thames River, and reached further north, just beyond the Gold Star Bridge. On his return south, he stopped in New London again, this time also visiting Alewife Cove, and reached the nest on Fishers Island shorty after noon.
After spending time near the nest, Charlie spent the rest of the day on-island making trips to the southern and western shorelines and taking breaks near the nest in-between. By nightfall, he headed close to Hay Harbor for another night.
