That little purple Martin you spot in your Huntsville backyard might have been on The Alabama Gulf Coast the day before. So says an AP story about a discovery that song birds fly as far as 300 miles a day...much faster than the previous 90 mile estimate. Read the story to discover how the researchers tracked the birds, and why the story is significant.
When I worked at WJLK Radio in Asbury Park, NJ about 1974, there was a daily call-in program for birdwatchers! One day the host was ill and I was the only announcer type around...my first radio-talk show hosting experience.
