    Summary

    Migration is a huge feat of endurance requiring immense strength and stamina and comes with a real risk of death along the way. So, it begs the question of why birds brave these epic journeys, and how do they know when or where to travel? - Danielle Shaw, 2021

    Aristotle, naturalist and philosopher of ancient Greece, was one of the first observers whose writings are known to discuss the subject of bird migration. He noted cranes traveled from the steppes of Scythia to the marshes at the headwaters of the Nile, and pelicans, geese, swans, rails, doves, and many other birds likewise passed to warmer regions to spend the winter. - Frederick C. Lincoln, 1935

    Why some birds migrate and others don’t is the focus of a complex and active field of research. Finding food generally is believed to be the main driver. Additional motivations could include to escape from inclement weather and to reduce exposure to predators or parasites, especially during breeding season. - Priyanka Runwal, 2021

    Summary

    “Keep telling yourself that,” Will says quietly, because even though the door is closed, speaking any louder would seem wrong. “You’re too harsh on yourself. If you wrote songs or something, you’d easily get on the Billboard Hot 100. Dad would help you. I would, too.”

    “Promote it to your seven followers?”

    “Yes!”

    Nico laughs, and then Will is joining him, and they’re closer than before, but it’s nothing unusual. It’s been this way since before stupid feelings and stupid crushes, and Nico would be damned if he let it change just because of that.

    Summary

    Leo is fine. He's got a stable job, he's passing his classes, and he's in a probably stable relationship with the most perfect guy to walk the Earth.

    So he's fine, because there's not really another viable option.

    Except that maybe, possibly, he's not fine.

    And maybe people are starting to notice.
