The migration of birds is truly one of the awe-inspiring phenomena in Nature. This class explores the majesty of bird migration, including the types of migration, the genetic influences that control migration, the physiological underpinnings that allow birds to accomplish migratory flights, how birds navigate, and more. Come and investigate the miracle that is bird migration!
