Quests travels




Our Lady of Tocjester Quest is still hanging out around the Cape. Thanks to the data biologists are able to see her daily routine.

She’s spending the early mornings, and presumably her overnights, in the area around Chatham and Brewster. It looks like she’s occupying her days with jaunts out to Monomoy Island.





Melissa Lowe, Education Coordinator for the Massachusetts Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary wrote to let all of us know that Quest has been spotted at Monomoy. "One of our volunteers, Don Manchester who conducts a spring hawk watch for us, counts migrant raptors in the fall down in Chatham at Morris Island for the USFWS Monomoy NWR. I just learned he has seen Quest on several occasions He has watched her chase and try to catch a flicker ([she] was joined by another falcon in the pursuit).”

So it seems Quest has a friend. The data prooves she's an active girl and is getting enough to eat!
