On November 8 last year, the Manipur forest department and locals released two Amur falcons — ‘Chiuluan2’ and ‘Gwangram’ — after radio-tagging them with satellite transmitters.

Lee and Carol Grim, of International Falls, were offered the trip to South Africa when a study abroad program was offered by William Bowerman, who studied eagles in Voyageurs National Park.

One of the two satellite-tagged Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis) arrived in Botswana (southern hemisphere) on Monday.
