Mr. Pratt & other birders,

One of my favorite migration stories (see CNN.com, April 18, 2002) involves 
a 50-year old manx shearwater, recaptured a year ago last Friday.  Based on 
the birds known migration route (Britain to South America I believe), 
feeding forays, and estimated age, it is thought that this bird has 
probably covered 5 million miles in its lifetime - the equivalent of 10 
round trips to the moon!  (It impresses Cub Scouts but I don't know about 
senior citizens!).

Please share any good migration stories you receive & good luck with your 
talk.........
