(FOX NEWS) – A bird has flown non-stop, apparently, from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania.
And now this young bar-tailed godwit — a member of the sandpiper family — appears to have set a non-stop distance record for migratory birds.
It flew at least 13,560 kilometers — or 8,435 miles — during that flight, a bird expert said on Friday, as the Associated Press reported. The bird was tagged as a hatchling in Alaska during the Northern Hemisphere summer, the AP also noted.
