The Fall Bird Migration

SciStarter Podcast S5E9: Global Bird Migration

Billions of birds are on the move for the fall migration, flying to points south, with many covering thousands of miles. In this podcast, world-renowned ornithologist Pete Marra discusses the migration and the challenges that migratory birds face, as well as what we can do to help monitor and protect them.

(NOTE: Audubon's Bird Migration Explorer is incorrectly referred to as "Bird Migration Mapper" in this podcast, but the onscreen links and links below are accurate)
