There are many more factors than I imagined: compass errors, wind drift, overshooting, extreme weather and irruptions, natural dispersal, and human-driven vagrancy. The chapter on compass errors will probably be the most popular amongst birders who love to discuss reversal and mirror-image migration routes.

It turns out that the latest research shows that birds use magnetic information form the Earth’s magenetosphere to find their way around, able to detect the orientation of the magnetic flux as well as its strength. However, how the brain receives and interprets magnetic field information is unknown. Le-Qing Wu and J.

The thousands of hours of observations that have been added up over the years would not have been possible without the help of the many volunteers and assistants who have offered their time and energy in the cause of science and conservation. Volunteers are one of the most important aspects to the project. Thanks for visiting!

It turns out that humans without compasses make no use of magnetic fields.) They can use this form of sensory input to navigate, integrating this information with other data to determine and adjust migration routes as adults.
