But how does a bird that can only reach a little below the surface capture squid that live at depth? The magic of technology is that it can help answer these questions. Now that geolocators and GPS units have become smaller and lighter we are able to track birds more accurately and for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>A study in 2016 tracking Wandering albatross showed them sitting on the water for long periods, swimming in circles. The tracks were assumed to be errors until multiple birds returned the same results. It appears that they locate squid grounds, and then on dark nights, paddle in circles to stimulate bioluminecensce. This attracts squid up from their normal depths and into reach of the albatross. How marvelous is that?<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acap.aq\/en\/news\/latest-news\/2580-do-they-get-dizzy-tags-show-spinning-wandering-albatrosses-attract-squid-at-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do they get dizzy?
