Arctic Tern Migration Google Earth Tour Video

- The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) makes an incredible migration each year. These small birds travel distances of more than 50,000 miles, from pole to pole, crossing through temperate and tropical regions along the way. Carsten Egevang used geo-locator tags to track ten of these terns, and he shares their story with us in this tour.
Narrated by Ari Daniel Shapiro. Produced by Atlantic Public Media (www.atlantic.org) and Eduardo Garcia Milagros.

Respect for the team that investigated this amazing bird. Even more respect to these magnificent birds. Just amazing to see that a small creature like that is able to be such a champion
These birds are present here in Yellowknife during the spring and summer by the hundreds. Never really thought much of them but wow, didn't realize they migrate so far away every year!
They definitely are quite the aggressive nest defenders. I see them fighting off the ravens here almost constantly. It really is a free admission to an amazing airshow lol! Sometimes I think the ravens pick on the terns just for fun as they do seem to enjoy the aerial chase that inevitably ensues.
Thanks for all the great comments!
BACKSTREET BOYS!?
No, Col! That’s Wrong!
BAHAHAHAHAH! This was exactly why I came here for!
The who, i was talking about The Who
Fantastic story - incredible bird - very well communicated!!!
I was really amazed after knowing from my teacher that's why I decided to see their flight........... It's really nice. Thank you.
Kudos to the researcher dedicating himself to bring this 👏 knowledge to all of us. Thank you!
Beautifully done!! Very informative too, amazing birds.
It's such an irony. These birds can fly from pole to pole without having anyone stopping them. Me and my wife have been trying for 5 years now to settle and live together and because of many borders and regulations issues, haven't succeeded yet.
Astounding. Thanks for posting this.
That was a fantastic production.
This is deeply fascinating. Thank you :-)
Very interesting story of migrating birds.
I just visited mid-coast Maine and the Puffin project museum, and collaterally learned about Arctic Terns. They should wear superhero capes, just amazing birds. And this video was so informative!
Very nice tour and incredible project.
I had a lesson (birds migration) about these birds in my school days.I studied them in Tamil which is my mother tongue .From that day i have passion on these birds. Incredible flights during life time.! I only saw them in photos and pictures.Thank you for your visual.
It heartens me that I'm not the only one that thought this when I saw this video.
This was incredibly informative!!!
Nature always amazes me
Great video!
Wow. Amazing bird.
Awesome. I can't wait to show this to my 7th and 8th grade science students. Pmcinnes
Amazing creature!
i'm going to report on this bird in our animal physiology class on its physiological adaptations to its cold environment and its long migration..nice!
Nice, thanks for sharing..
Amazing 👍👍👍
If I came home and there was a massive cage like structure over my entire house, I'd be quite weary of something :P
Let's not forget the well-known call of the arctic tern. Anyone know what it is?
AtarahDerek Backstreet boys
"BACKSTREET BOYS!"
"And what sound does an Arctic Tern make Colin?"
"Backstreet boys!"
amazing
Amazing...
nice video
Nature's ultra marathoners. Unbelievable!
Thanks! Please let us know what your 7th and 8th grade science students thought of the video, we love feedback!
Wow interesting
Do they ever fly over the Pacific ? I wonder
I like it
wow. amazing God's creatures. they teach so many lessons
what happened to the black bird at 3:51?
I know this comment is very old, but post-breeding birds often meander around and do weird stuff. It's kinda like their summer vacation. They rarely waste time en route to their breeding grounds, because their mating drive is so strong. But their fall migration is far more leisurely.
50,000 miles they must sleep as soon as they get to Antarctica and when they go back to the Arctic
Man!!How far you can fly,,mentioned helping them to ..... 🤣🤣 .just see ,,give us some share of enjoyment and leave them alone
Floowandereeze
BACKSTREET BOYS!
Subhanallah 🥺🤲🏻❤
you sound like David Pakman
Asmr?
And peck us in the head with their really - pointy - beaks LOL
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil 4:13
The Arctic Tern is one of the most remarkable birds in the world. It migrates farther than any other bird, traveling late in August from its nesting place within the Arctic Circle to its winter "lodgings" in Antarctica and then back to the Arctic Circle again -- an annual round trip of more than 11,000 miles! These small birds make their long trip on nothing but a sense of urgency, direction, and endurance that God has put within them.
Similarly, God has placed within the Christian a power which both directs and drives his life. "...For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Phil. 2:12) "To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily." (Col. 1:29)
nic
circumnavigate
i dont know can you relate
sandwich satiate
no
oooooooooooo
Wait, I thought the Earth was flat, and that Antarctica was this big ring around the Flat Earth. Btw, just in case some couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic. Well, it looks like the Arctic Tern just debunked the Flat Earth Theory!
Be like arctic tern! Migrate for better life/experience/adventures. Anyway we all are gonna die!

Art Shapiro sounds so progressive.
