Birds Migration of the Western Hemisphere by National Geographic Wall Map

Explore the Wonders of Bird Migration

🦅 The Epic Journeys of Migrating Birds:

• Migration is one of the most awe-inspiring natural phenomena. Each year, birds travel thousands of miles to follow seasonal patterns, navigating vast distances between nesting grounds and wintering areas. From the high Arctic to the southernmost reaches of South America, birds migrate in complex routes across different terrains.

• This map details the migration routes of 67 different species of birds, covering the breadth of the Western Hemisphere. The overlaid migration paths clearly show the routes birds take, offering a visually stunning and easy-to-understand guide to their seasonal journeys.

• Birds like the Arctic Tern, which holds the record for the longest migration of any animal, traveling from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and the Blackpoll Warbler, which migrates across the Atlantic, are featured, offering fascinating insights into the resilience and navigational skills of these remarkable creatures.

🌍 From North to South:

• North America to South America: Many bird species travel from breeding grounds in Canada and the United States down to tropical regions in Mexico, Central America, and South America for the winter months.

• The Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico are key transit points, with birds stopping to rest and refuel before continuing their journeys.

• The migration paths also encompass some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth, from the Rocky Mountains to the Amazon Rainforest, making the map not just a resource for bird lovers, but a celebration of the continent’s rich natural beauty.
