I believe = these are errors in the tracking program that is used on the Seaturtle = website. Not all satellite signals received are of high quality and can = give errant locations. Usually these are filtered out but some may be = missed. The next location of the supposedly errant birds is always back = on the coast. =20 An interesting side bar is that one of the most southerly birds, Rosa, = has flown from a summer feeding area of northern right whales - Bay of = Fundy, to the calving area of southern right whales, Pennisula Valdez. Nesting is supposed to begin mid-November with egg-laying about 20 Nov. = on Tristan da Cunha so perhaps we will see some movements of the birds = in that direction soon before the battery life of the tags is exhausted.
