The World of Birds Ep. 4: Migration

Our fourth and final episode explores migration, one of the great mysteries of the natural world. Bird migration is a seasonal movement where birds fly to different areas between breeding and wintering grounds. Birds can travel extraordinary distances during these migrations. The Arctic Tern, for instance, has been found to fly nearly 60,000 miles on a single trip. That’s two times the circumference of the earth!

Why do birds migrate? Where do they go during the winter and summer? How do they navigate their long journeys? Join Conservation Associate Aurora Crooks to learn all about the incredible phenomenon of bird migration!
