Looks like Camellia is on his way back to Pocaty River, but exploring the Virginia Beach section of Blackwater first. As of this map he spent the night on the edge of a small patch of woods just north of Old Carolina Rd. His satellite transmitter must be weak from all the cloudy weather we have had. Only got a few data reports during this three day period. Color data points are YELLOW arrow June 14 at 1:00am, PINK pointer June 14 at 10:00am, GREEN pointer June 15 at 1:00am, BLUE pointer June 16 at 1:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow June 17 at 1:00am.

Fishing must be good at Nanney’s Creek. Camellia is still there as of this morning. Other than a couple brief flights he has remained there the past three days. He knows how to fish the farm ditches. His data points are – WHITE arrow June 11 at 5:00am, DARK BLUE June 11 at 8:00am, PINK pointer June 11 at 2:00pm, GREEN pointer June 12 at 1:00am, BLUE pointer June 12 at Noon, ORANGE pointer June 13 at 1:00am, PURPLE pointer June 13 at 4:00pm, and as of this map WHITE arrow June 14 at 1:00am.

Well, Camellia can’t seem to make up his mind. Nanney’s Creek or Pocaty River. Pocaty River or Nanney’s Creek. Last night he roosted in a front yard on Mill Landing Rd within a few feet of a house. Now that is an urban bald eagle! Here are his data points for the past three days. YELLOW arrow June 8 at 2:00pm, PINK pointer June 9 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer June 9 at Noon, BLUE pointer June 10 at 1:00am, ORANGE pointer June 10 at Noon, PURPLE pointer June 10 at 4:00pm, and as of this map WHITE pointer June 11 at 5:00am.

Camellia has returned to the Pocaty River as of 2:00pm yesterday June 7. He has become expert in catching fish in farm ditches. He is a surviver. Here are his data points for the past three days – YELLOW arrow June 5 at 2:00pm, PINK pointer June 6 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer June 6 at 2:00pm, BLUE pointer June 7 at Noon (Nanney’s Creek), ORANGE pointer June 7 at 2:00pm (Pocaty River), PURPLE pointer June 8 at 1:00am, as of this map WHITE arrow June 8 at 2:00pm.

The Dynamic Due of Cary Lynch and Beverly Nettleton have scored again. Within two hours of the last post on June 5 they located Camellia off Mill Landing Rd and Nanney’s Creek. Here is one of Cary’s photos  taken at a distance – copyright and used with permission.

KE has finally left the area south of Richmond, VA and flown to yet another landfill in King George County south of Stafford, VA. Camellia spent a lot of time at this landfill in 2010. KE flew to King George County on May 30 and has stayed there since then. Here are her data points. YELLOW arrow May 22 at 4:00pm (James River), PINK pointer May 27 at Noon, GREEN pointer May 29 at 1:00pm, BLUE pointer May 30 at 11:00am, PURPLE pointer May 30 at 2:00pm, YELLOW pointer May 31 at 1:00am, DARK BLUE pointer June 2 at 1:00am, ORANGE pointer June 3 at 10:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow June 6 at 2:00pm.

Camellia has flow east into Virginia Beach to Mill Landing Rd and Nanney’s Creek. Here are his data points – YELLOW arrow June 2 at 5:00am, PINK pointer June 2 at 3:00pm, GREEN pointer June 3 at 1:00am, BLUE pointer June 4 at 1:00am, ORANGE pointer June 5 at 7:00am, PURPLE pointer June 5 at 9:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow June 5 at 2:00pm.

Camellia is being very evasive, but still sticking close to the Pocaty River in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach. He has been in this area since May 14. He seems to have found a farm pond off Blackwater Rd where he has been able to catch fish. Note how many times in the past week he has been there. His data points are – YELLOW arrow May 30 at 6:00am, PINK pointer May 30 at Noon, GREEN pointer May 31 at 1:00am, BLUE pointer May 31 at Noon, ORANGE pointer June 1 at 1:00am, PURPLE pointer June 1 at NOON, and as of this map WHITE arrow June 2 at 5:00am.

Camellia has not moved very far, just a bit north to the east of Fentress in Chesapeake, VA. He seems to have lost interest in the Pocaty River. He has moved even closer to some of our most ardent Camellia fans. We need current photos!! Here are his color data points – YELLOW arrow May 27 at 1:00pm, PINK pointer May 28 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer May 28 at Noon, BLUE pointer May 29 at 1:00am, ORANGE pointer May 29 at Noon, PURPLE pointer May 30 at 1:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow May 30 at 6:00am.

Nothing new to report about Camellia. Pocaty, Pocaty, Pocaty. “I am still here.” Color data points – YELLOW arrow May 24 at 11:00am, PINK pointer May 25 at 1:00am, GREEN pointer May 25 at 11:00am, BLUE pointer May 26 at 1:00am, ORANGE pointer May 27 at 1:00am, PURPLE pointer May 27 at 10:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow May 27 at 1:00pm.

Ke remains in the region south of Richmond. On the last map I identified the landfill as in Hanover County and I should have said HENRICO COUNTY. KE is still in Henrico County although she has also crossed the James River into Chesterfield County. Here are her latest color data points – YELLOW pointer May 2 at 3:00pm, PINK pointer May 5 at 1:00pm, GREEN pointer May 11 at 1:00am, BLUE pointer May 14 at 6:00am, ORANGE pointer May 18 at 1:00pm, YELLOW pointer May 21 at 1:00am, PURPLE pointer May 22 at 1:00am, and as of this map WHITE arrow May 22 at 4:00pm.
