Sky & Star have been on the move.
Star (who spent the fall in central Wis.) has made it back to the Mississippi - after almost 4 weeks of no contacts - was last reported on Sunday (18th), on the Wapsipinicon, just north of the Alcoa nest and working south.
Sky has moved north (first report in 4 days) on the 15th spending time on Carlyle Resevoir straight E of St. Louis.
Both transmitters reported low batteries on their last communication. This is the cost of using a smaller backpack - insufficient light to recharge the battery at this time of year and cloudy weather.
