Even taking into account all the fat they accumulate to carry out their impressive migration, striped warblers (Setophaga striata) They have a mass of just 17 grams.
The equivalent of fifty aspirin tablets that makes a stopover of 2,770 kilometers across the open sea.
The journey
The Striated Warbler heads south in the fall from northwestern North America and travels to the Caribbean, and even to Colombia and Venezuela. For a long time, it was unknown how much time he spent flying over the ocean.

So these birds can complete non-stop flights of between 2,270 and 2,770 kilometers in just two or three days. Therefore, before starting the trip, it doubles its body mass by storing lipids and proteins, and it can do so in just one week.
