Migratory birds

Migratory birds travel vast distances between seasons, guided by Earth's magnetic field. This field, stronger near the poles, helps birds navigate by detecting its strength and direction. Scientists believe birds might visually perceive the magnetic field, aiding their migration. By understanding these magnetic cues, birds can efficiently travel to warmer regions in winter and cooler areas in summer.
