Inside the World of Bird Migration
Migration is a huge phenomenon — involving billions of birds, some traveling thousands of miles — but oddly enough, it’s often invisible. Even after years of research, some things about migration are still mysterious, and some of the best-known “facts” about it turn out to be wrong. This is an inside look at the science (and the magic) of this wonderful worldwide movement of birds, with a special focus on the Lake Erie shoreline in northern Ohio.
