Book excerpt: The Kolea (Pacific Golden Plover) leads a double life. From May to August it nests and raises its young on Alaska's chilly subarctic tundra. Come winter, just as its plumage turns from black and white to gold and brown, the kolea makes its way to Hawaii's distant shores, where it will remain for the next eight months before returning to Alaska. It undertakes this incredible journey of nearly 3,000 miles twice a year without stopping once to rest or feed. Amazingly, young kolea, left far behind on the Alaskan coast, find their way to Hawaii without any help from their parents. Those of us who witness the comings and goings of these amazing birds often wonder how they travel across thousands of miles of trackless ocean without losing their way. What signs or clues do they follow? Do they use the sun and stars as their guides? The ability of the kolea to navigate such a tremendous distance remains a mystery. In the first part of this book you will journey with the kolea from the treeless plains near the Arctic Circle, across the vast Pacific Ocean, to its warm and sunny winter home in Hawaii. The second part contains information on habitat, food, nesting and breeding, and the challenges facing scientists who study kolea migration. Both sections are clearly written and will engage and inform young readers.
Download or read book Pacific Mystery written by Stephen Levine and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 95 year old mystery solved, well maybe. It is a clear, peaceful day when a British cargo vessel, the Asiatic Prince, departs America on a regular trip to Japan. She was carrying general cargo and valuable bullion. Eight days later, she sends out a distress call, and a rescue mission begins. The search cannot find any trace of the ship, so the rumours start. There were many reports in newspapers worldwide speculating the fate of the ship, her crew, and the bullion. Was there a mutiny, or did pirates attack the ship? There were suggestions that a meteorite or a tidal wave hit her. After extensive commercial and navy craft searches, no trace of the vessel or her crew has been found. The ship's fate is still a mystery, but we try to bring an up- to-date perspective on what occurred on that fateful day, 24 March 1928.
