In this morning's New York Times. leading the science section, is an article on prodigious bird migrants--shorebirds like godwits, whimbrels, turnstones, curlews, and Arctic terns. It contains more information than the first gee-whiz published accounts of the studies involved in learning about these amazing phenomena. I'm sorry I don't have a Web link to this article; perhaps someone who does could offer it to the list.
