130393 is still in Ethiopia, but just barely and is currently very close to the border with Sudan (about half way between Addis Ababa and Khartoum).  130393 has been making slow but steady progress north.  Its still not clear what this bird will do this summer.  We'll just have to wait and see.  In the map below you can see its movements, and its location relative to that of Ivato, the adult we caught in Madagascar in February.
Locations of Ivato and 130393
Ivato continues to be found on the northern-most islands of the Dhalak Archipelago in Eritrea.  Although location estimates by the satellites are not always absolutely accurate.  The map below suggests that Ivato has been visiting a number of islands.

Ivato's movements in the 20 days up to 22 May 2014.
