Here's news on an ongoing story of the migration of a whimbrel carrying a radio transmitter http://wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?tag_id=84206 More information is in the links to newspaper stories therein. Another whimbrel in the same study that got started earlier was caught in a tropical storm on the way south; on one side its progress was slowed to 9 mph, but on the other its speed was 90 mph!
