A 5-month old bar-tailed godwit recently set a non-stop flying record ~13,560 kilometres from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania in just 11 days, most of it over open water in the Pacific Ocean
Researcher had attached a small solar powered GPS tracking chip
It likely flew with a group of other first-year godwits… the parents typically leave several weeks ahead of the nestlings
It likely lost 50% of its body weight during the flight. Their digestive organs shrink as they add fat in preparation for migration

A female falcon was equipped with a satellite tracking system in South Africa before migrating to Finland. Image shows tracker data. In just 42 days, she flew over 10.000 km, at an incredible average of 230 km per day. The most unbelievable thing is that it kept a straight line across the continent, except when it had to fly over water, turning right on the Nile River Delta, then pursuing the course of the river to the Mediterranean.
