Typhoon Path Between Okinawa and the Philippines

Caption

The typhoon path is symbolized by large colored circles joined by a red line, and the bird track is in white circles with colored outlines (same colors highlight the same day and time in both tracks). Study site in Okinawa is shown with the white triangle, and the ocean depth in drawn in the background (blue scale with lighter color for shallower areas). This figure illustrates that the bird started moving towards the Philippines after the typhoon had left the area.
