Around the world in 46 days: a study of grey-headed albatrosses

["L. D. Giddings" <seldom74 at xmission dot com>]

Of course this has nothing to do with Utah, but the following link

http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/science/story/0,12996,1390252,00.html

in the Online Guardian (the online version of the U.K. Guardian
newspaper) summarizes an article found in the current edition of
Science. A study of 47 grey-headed albatrosses was made over a period of
18 months. Twelve of the studied birds circumnavigated the globe during
the study period, and three of them did it twice. Just think of the
frequent flyer miles!
