#Migratory is the #BirdoftheDay theme today, and I didn't even know a Cackling Goose was a thing, until Merlin told me those Canada Geese with shorter necks weren't Canada Geese - even if that was where they were headed. #Birds 🪶 #ECK

We had lots of golden-crowned sparrows in the yard in Oregon all winter, but I think they've gone to Alaska and British Columbia to breed now, which is probably why I never have pictures of them in their breeding plumage. Now the white-crowned sparrows are showing up. #BirdOfTheDay #Migratory 📷🌿🪶

A black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa - love that name) keeping an eye on me. It's our national bird 🇳🇱. Our black-tailed godwits migrate to north and west Africa in winter. #Migratory #BirdOfTheDay

Volunteers Urged to Join Toad Migration Effort

#Volunteers needed to protect #IsleOfWight’s #toad population, as a 2nd #migratory crossing site is being supported by local patrols

Common Toads return yearly to same ancestral breeding ponds, following historic #migration routes that often lead them across roads. With slow movement and poor visibility at night, many are killed by traffic in what #conservationists are calling a growing crisis.

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was amongst the first to propose the existence of a #magnetic sense. His speculation proved correct; many #animals – from #bats to #migratory #birds and sea #turtles use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate.

An electric discovery: Pigeons detect magnetic fields through their inner ear

The researchers emphasize that it is likely not the only magnetic sensing strategy in nature
