                First-time traveler's excellent adventure.

The tracking signal of a baby stork, the youngest of five chicks of mother 
stork 'Yaren', and identified by trackers as 'number five', was lost the day
before yesterday.  But today the signal was tracked to Jordan, confirming
that 'number five' is alive and well. 

Mother stork Yaren, who has become famous for her long-standing 
friendship with fisherman Adem Amca (Uncle Adem) of Bursa, gave
birth to five chicks this year.  The Karacabey municipality in Bursa
attached a 40-gram solar energy satellite tracking device to chick 'number
five' in June in order to follow the chick's flight path. 

Last week 'number five' left the nest in Bursa for the first time and 
began to head south with a flock it joined.  Thousands of people have
been able to follow 'number five''s progress by means of the free app
'Animal Tracker'. 

However, as 'number five' flew toward the Gulf of Iskenderun near
Adana's Yumurtalık district the signal was lost.  A frantic search was
launched to find 'number five'.  As it turned out, the signal appeared 
again yesterday, this time from Jordan, letting all of 'number five''s 
many followers breathe a sigh of relief.
