How to Fly a Godwit

The Bartell Godwett holds the world record for the longest flight on Earth. Every year it migrates from Alaska at the top of the world, to Australia and New Zealand at the bottom - 13,000 kilometers away. The same distance is flying to the moon? To the moon? Wasn't. Do all birds fly so far? No. Lots of birds migrate, but they often stop and rest along the way. It takes the fastest of them nine days of non-stop flying. That's amazing. Since we're using our imaginations, we can just meet them at the finish line.
