There's a nice story in today's Toronto Star about the Northern Wheatear and its migration route from Canada to Africa. The study was conducted by Ontario scientists and proves that these tiny birds migrate 7,500 km from the Canadian Arctic to West Africa, including a 3,500 km 4 day flight across the Atlantic! I love it when a bird makes the front page!  Here's the link:
