Thirty-six birds make up this list: albatross, bittern, dowitcher, gallinule, gnatcatcher, godwit and junco. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

The godwit on this list holds the record nobody expected. A bar-tailed godwit tracked in 2022 flew from Alaska to Tasmania without landing once: about 13,500 kilometers in eleven days, no food, no water, no sleep as we would recognize it. They roughly double their body weight before leaving and shrink their own digestive organs to save the cargo space.

The hummingbird works at the other extreme. It is the only bird that can hover in place and fly backward, its wings tracing a figure eight rather than flapping up and down, at fifty or more beats a second. That costs so much energy that it has to feed every ten minutes or so all day, and drop into a state close to hibernation every night to survive until morning.

Take the PDF on a walk, or play online and flush out a different flock each time.
