Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 kmโjust shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787โfrom Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

An incredible spectacle of Semipalmated Sandpipers in the Bay of Fundy!! Our @EagleEyeTours crew enjoyed this amazing show at Johnson Mills yesterday - a great start to our New Brunswick tour.

Some *reflections* on our investigation into Pacific Wild this week
1) I'm deeply thankful for the outpouring of support ๐
