Rider on the Storm

Several science-related websites noted the long, fast and high flight of a male shearwater bird caught up in Typhoon Faxai back in 2019. Shearwaters generally fly just over 300 feet around the ocean, while during this particular daredevil made it up to around 16,000 feet higher than usual. And it traded in its usual speed of between 3 and 37 miles per hour to almost 125 miles per hour as it made five circles with the typhoon. During the period the eye of the storm was over ocean, the bird landed and rested on the waves.
