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.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes?
