Background

Migration Update:

Named after the Ramshorn Inlet on the Eastern Shore, Ramsey was captured on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 19 May 2010. She remained in Virginia during the breeding season and began to migrate to wintering grounds on 11 August 2010. Unfortunately, she flew directly into Tropical Storm Colin and perished at sea 200 miles west of Bermuda.
