It is the same map. It just has the dates on it where it spent time along the path and how long it was there.

No, my earliest to nest birds start leaving in late June. Most if not all are done by early July. Some of that is due to the size of my colony. It’s one of the largest in the area. They come back earlier and nest earlier than a small colony does. If hawk pressure isn’t too bad, the parents only hang out with the nestlings at the colony site for a week or so after the nestlings fledge. Then they head to a pew-migratory roost.
