Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy Day

press release: Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy - Conservancy Days Program: Bird Migration: How it's Done

Whether the American robin is making its leisurely way from Illinois wintering grounds or a Bobolink is making its cross-hemispherical journey from Argentina to Wisconsin, both trips require a sense of direction.  Orientation and navigation skills beyond those of Sacagawea, Merriwether Lewis, and William Clark are needed for these aerial treks. Learn the many ways we think birds are able to complete the wonder of migration.
