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.........
