Some great news arrived last night while we were all sleeping. After the discouraging peregrine update yesterday we wanted you to know that Falcon # 22654's signal was received from three separate places while she was migrating yesterday. As you read the six locations below you'll have to decide which three are accurate. We've included time of day to help you. The time given is GMT, not local time.
