Migratory Birds

Migratory birds are species of birds that travel from one region to another at specific times of the year. This movement often occurs between breeding and wintering grounds, typically in response to changes in climate, food availability, and breeding conditions. Migration can be a long-distance journey, with some species traveling thousands of miles between their seasonal habitats. Birds may migrate individually or in flocks, and their migration patterns can be influenced by various factors, including weather, geographical barriers, and the availability of resources. Key examples include species such as the Arctic Tern, which has one of the longest migration routes, and the Canada Goose, which migrates between North America and the southern U.S. Understanding the behavior and patterns of migratory birds is crucial for conservation efforts and maintaining biodiversity.
