 How far are they from the nearest land? What

 about what rate of speed is it believed to travel? 

 At this rate, how long a time would it require to 

 fly from the Aleutian Islands to the Hawaiian

 Golden Plover in traveling from its summer home 

 to its winter quarters; and in returning. In what 

 respect is its journey remarkable? Mention some 

 other birds which have a double migration route.
