The Blackpoll Warbler’s nonstop flight from New England to South America is the same as sprinting your fastest for 80 hours straight! Did You Know... It takes an average sized bird 18 hours to fly the 400 km stretch over the Gulf of Mexico! Some birds don’t eat for three weeks when they migrate! Bar-headed geese have been recorded flying over the Himalayas at 10,000 meters above sea level! That’s as high as a jet airplane! The Arctic Tern flies about 30,000 kilometers per year!! That’s from the Arctic to the Antarctic…and back!
