Bar-tailed Godwit E7 left Alaska back on August 30 and has since traveled over 10,500k (6,524 mi) and was approaching the North Island of New Zealand per the latest update from the Pacific Shorebird Migration Project website. The downloadable GoogleEarth maps are only updated as far as her nearing the Fiji Islands roughly 5 days into her amazing journey but you can see where she was yesterday on this map (it also shows the track when E7 left NZ last Spring - look for the text that says "09 06" in white adjacent to the #1 in a red circle). The other Bar-taileds are still hanging in Alaska but should be moving soon!

To put it simply, this project ROCKS!
