Birds Ride Oil Tanker North From Gulf to New York
A flock of orioles vireos wrens red wings and other songbirds rode the oil tanker John D Archbold from the Gulf to New York region. They boarded off Tortugas and remained aboard five days circling the ship from the crow's nest to the railing before departing at dawn off New Jersey. The voyage felt surreal to the crew who fed them and watched their procession up the coast.
