Yesterday I met (that is, nearly tripped over) a very protective killdeer mother who did her level best to distract me, the very apologetic predator, from her eggs.

These Mighty Shorebirds Keep Breaking Flight Records—And You Can Follow Along
Bar-tailed Godwits regularly travel more than 7,000 miles non-stop. One enthusiast is spreading the word of their amazing migrations, with the help of a research project tracking 20 tagged birds in real-time.
A tagged Bar-tailed Godwit, #4BBRW, in Australia in October—after flying 239 hours nonstop from Alaska and breaking a flight record. Since landing in New South Wales, 4BBRW’s tracker has intermittently gone offline, which is common as birds rest because their feathers can cover the solar charging panel. It is likely to continue on to New Zealand soon.
