Franciscana Dolphins Tracking Day #25

Kure and Tunken remain together and in Bahia San Blas, while Kona and Nahuel have moved to the south outside of the bay. Much as the movements of Kure and Tunken to the north last week were somewhat beyond anything we saw in tracking last year, the movements of Kona and Nahuel to the south now extends by a bit the range we documented last year.

The animals continue typical patterns for franciscana dolphins in Bahia San Blas. Each pair was intact through much if not all of the tracking window.

Franciscana Dolphins Tracking Day #23

Both pairs of animals appear to be following a similar pattern of movements in the bay, and each pair continues to be intact for at least part of each tracking window. Today's map is similar to yesterday's, with Kure and Tunken to the north of Nahuel, and Kona at the mouth of the bay for their most recent positions.

Kure and Tunken are together as the red dots in the upper left portion of the map. Kona and Nahuel were together earlier, but Kona wasn't picked up on the final satellite pass of the period, so we can't say they were together at the end of the period.

Tunken and Kure were togther inside the bay at the end of the transmission window. Other movements were more difficult to interpret as it appeared that signal quality was generally not very good yesterday (a number of positions on land).

Franciscana Dolphins - Tracking Day #20 (March 22)

All four dolphins are in Bahia San Blas today, and appear to have been in close proximity to one another early this morning.
