Some birds stand out from the flock with their amazing migratory feats

https://www.heraldcourier.com/community/some-birds-stand-out-from-the-flock-with-their-amazing/article_cdf6dc1c-40da-537c-86d0-3be76bfab1af.html


The bobolink is also known as the "rice bird" for its tendency to feed on cultivated grains such as rice. Even the bird's scientific name, oryzivorus, means "rice eating" and refers to this bird's appetite for many of the same grains consumed by humans. This small songbird also undertakes yearly migration flights equaling more than 12,400 miles.
