Scientists track egret's 38-hour flight from Australia to PNG
SYDNEY - A species of heron has been tracked flying for almost two days non-stop between Australia and Papua New Guinea during its northern migration, scientists say. Australian researchers used GPS to follow eight plumed egrets and 10 great egrets over a period of months, after the birds left the Macquarie Marshes in New South Wales. Great egrets were found to disperse in all directions, said the scientists from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. But the plumed egrets all migrated north, and one was tracked flying almost 2,400 kilometres over several months before settling near the town of Kalo, southeast of Port Moresby. It took that bird 38 hours to fly more than 700km across the Coral Sea, according to findings published in the journal Pacific Conservation Biology on Monday. It was the first time scientists had recorded the plumed egrets' migration.

Another Australian bird, the bar-tailed godwit, holds the world record for flying more than 13,500 kilometres non-stop in just 11 days during its migration south from Alaska to Tasmania. djw/bes/lb

Liberal Outlets Demonize Man's Best Friend
Liberal outlets dub dogs as 'environmental villains!' Here we go again! I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. Climate change zealots are the worst! They suck the joy and fun out of everything but now they've taken it too far because they're coming after man's best friend. Yes, according to research circulated by The Guardian and Mother Jones, dogs are environmental villains that have 'extensive and multifarious' environmental impacts that disturb other wildlife, pollute waterways, and contribute to carbon emissions. A review published in the journal Pacific Conservation Biology suggests that dogs, the world's 'commonest large carnivores' have an especially dangerous impact on shore birds like penguins. Other studies suggest insecticides from flea and tick medications kill aquatic invertebrates. Look, this may all very well be true but newsflash to these science nuts, humans love dogs and we will never give them up or stop owning them because you claim they are bad. It's not going to happen! So research all you want, we don't care! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
