Bird migration is more complex than plan-

ning a family vacation. Birds start preparing them-

selves for fall migration as the amount of daylight

shortens. They go into a feeding frenzy in order

to gain as much weight as possible. Then they be-

gin to gather into groups, experiencing migratory

restlessness. At just the right moment, all over the

world, billions of birds take off on perilous migra-

tory flights. How do they know their destinations?

Scientists have shown that birds raised in captivity,

completely separated from parents, still know when and where to migrate. It is actually

programmed into their DNA!

Scientists are discovering multiple migration mechanisms:

Birds use landmarks such as rivers/mountains/seashores.

Some birds use the "sun compass", which requires an internal clock.

The sun's movement and the bird's internal clock allow them to calculate their direction.

Many birds migrate primarily at night when there is less wind and

fewer predators. These birds use a "star compass". If the birds migrate beyond the equa-

tor into another hemisphere, they need to know the stars in that hemisphere as well.

What if it is cloudy? Birds seem to have the ability to sense and
