Refuge on a Floating Island

Several small birds have stopped in over the week, taking refuge on the Jordan. Many bird species make long migrations, often at high altitude, along the Pacific flyway. Some will die of exhaustion along the way, or starvation, and some get blown off their original course. Most ships out at sea appear to be an island, a refuge for tired birds to land on. They may stay for a day, a week, or longer... We have had a few birds, and some have disappeared after two days. We hope they took off to finish their trip.
