migratory bird patterns

Migratory bird patterns involve seasonal movements where birds travel between breeding and wintering grounds. Typically occurring twice a year, these journeys are driven by factors like temperature, food availability, and daylight. Birds often fly along specific routes called flyways, which guide them to optimal habitats for breeding and survival. These migrations can cover hundreds to thousands of miles, with some species undertaking non-stop flights over long distances. Environmental cues, geographical features, and genetic instincts coordinate these patterns, ensuring birds arrive at the right place at the right time for breeding, feeding, and survival throughout the year.
