Accordingly, after installing signal transponders on the feet of several birds in Alaska and the Baffin island area of Canada, scientists have been able to track details of the bird's cold-moving process.
Birds from Alaska flew over Siberia and Arabian deserts to head to Sudan, Uganda and Kenya. This cold course lasts 91 days but only takes 55 days in the return leg.
Meanwhile, a watched bird from Baffin Island flew over the Arctic Ocean, to England and then continued to cross Europe, the Mediterranean and the Sahara desert before reaching the coast in Mauritania, west. Africa. This flight cost the bird about 80 days both back and forth, equivalent to 7,500km.
