HI Patti Thanks for the heads up on the Golden ---I wish my friend Walter Spofford
was still alive--he would be fascinated. Why did you name him Virgil Caine ?
What does he have to do with "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"? Or do
you consider him a Confederate spy ?

VIRGIL CAINE UPDATE- Sept. 8, 2008
The Golden Eagle that was trapped and fitted on March 17th with a telemetry unit in Highland County has spent the summer in the province of Quebec, Canada. In early June, Virgil Caine was in northern Maine, near the Quebec border. Mid-June, she headed north to the area where Maine, Quebec and New Brunswick meet. Early in the month of July, she travelled back and forth on the Gaspe Peninsula, but then headed slightly wsw back to the border with New Brunswick, where she spent the rest of the month. In August she moved slowly south back into Maine along the Maine/Quebec border. As of Sept 5, she was in this general area (Jackman, Maine is the closest small town).
The Gaspe Peninsula is the extreme continental limit of the ancient Appalachian Mountains. This chain of mountains stretches from northern Alabama for about 1,500 miles to the tip of the peninsula. The native peoples, The Mi’kmaq, called this land ‘Gespeq’, which translates as “the place where the land ends”.
