Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons in the Lives of Migratory Birds

Book Discussion: Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons in the Lives of Migratory Birds, by Miyoko Chu

Each spring, millions of orioles, tanagers, thrushes, warblers and other songbirds travel thousands of miles from the tropics to their summer breeding grounds as far north as the boreal forests of Canada and in the fall return south. Navigating by the stars, magnetic fields and polarized light patterns, the birds make amazing journeys at night, flying in huge flocks that most of us never see.
