KUREMARI (2021, Latvia) - adult bird/female?

Post by marika.solo »

the autumn birdmap starts with data from August 15
The spring/summer migration stops in mid-August and the autumn/winter migration continues from the following day, the 15th = the bird map is set for autumn/winter migration and the new distance measurement starts from 15.08. However, the birdmap is sometimes ready a week or two later.


in this thread we follow young adult female named KUREMARI (hatched 2021) from Latvia (we follow Kuremari's 3rd autumn-winter migration with trasmitter)
This stork with Latvian rings was caught by Urmas and equipped with transmitter in Haanja NP (https://kaitsealad.ee/en/protected-area ... ature-park) and appeared to the birdmap.

KUREMARI is an interesting choice of name. In direct translation it means Stork's berry and it is a folk name for cranberries. (info by our Madli - thx!)

KUREMARI colour ring number:OXUJ - 5 CY
(CY = calendar year; birds are aged as the number of calendar years they have lived in, with the year they were born in as the 1st calendar year and increasing past every January 1st.)

data source:
https://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/2025/aut ... =0&speed=1

birdmap-description:


-----
- "NESTING" 2025: ... " we do not know with certainty if Kuremari has visited that nest itself at all – may be just perched near-bye or visited a seemingly very good foraging spot next to. After that she keep hanging around in the same area „keeping” range of 40 km +-. Typical non-breeding bird. May be next year." ... (info by Dr. Strazds)
- "Nesting 2024": Kuremari explored Latvia
- "Nesting 2023": Probably did not breed in 2023, but was often with a year-younger Black Stork. (birdmap info)
