B95 can feel it: a stirring in his bones and feathers. It's time. Today is the day he will once again cast himself into the air. Scientists call him the Moonbird because this gritty, four-ounce marathoner has flown the distance to the moon and halfway back! He has been seen as recently as November 2011, which makes him nearly twenty years old. Shaking their heads, scientists ask themselves: How can this one bird make it year after year when so many others fall?
