About This Book

A comprehensive survey explains why and how many bird species undertake seasonal movements, reviewing historical observations and competing ideas on origins and control, including ancestral-range shifts, photoperiodic cues, and continental changes. It outlines when and how birds travel, contrasting nocturnal and diurnal movements and detailing flight speeds, typical altitudes, navigation methods, and segregation by age or sex. Geographic coverage ranges from short local shifts to long-distance migrations and includes continental flyways, coastal and oceanic routes, vertical movements, and occasional vagrancy. The work examines hazards such as storms, exhaustion, and man-made obstacles, summarizes banding and observational studies, and highlights implications for conservation and management.

Bibliography

Since almost every faunal paper on birds has a bearing on the subject of migration, only a few can be listed in this publication. Those included were selected to aid the student wishing to pursue the subject further and to cover not only all cited in the text but also others consulted and used in its preparation.
