Apparently arctic terns have the longest migratory path of any animal on earth, with some individuals logging 80,000 km a year! I get tired just thinking about it. __________________ There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, this is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. - Lord Byron Turttle's pollinator garden
