Mesmerizing Migration Map: Which Species Is Which?
January 20, 2016If you enjoyed our animated map of bird migration but wondered which species is which—here’s help. This is the same animation but each species is represented by a number—so you can find the name of any migrant that catches your eye by looking it up in the list below.
It’s a crowded map so we apologize that some numbers will be hard to read and follow—but we still enjoy watching species like Bobolink (#20), Solitary Sandpiper (#88), Prothonotary Warbler (#76), Lazuli Bunting (#55), Purple Sandpiper (#78) and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (#114) to name a few. Browse through the numbers and let us know which migrant’s route is your favorite.
