Altynai in sight from the nest (Thursday, April 15, 2004)

I expected that today's data would validate at least that Altynai's at the nesting place. It did not happen although Altynai only 70 kilometers from Ob where we marked her last year. But perhaps more substantial now is that Iristu has changed the course nearly for 90 degrees and is pointing at Ob at the southern Novosibirsk (now there's no way he could settle somewhere else as it looked in the last days).
