In a rapidly warming and changing world, some triggers that prompt birds to migrate are occurring at different times and to different extents, and the patterns of migration are evolving while also becoming telling indicators of climate change and other human activities. This book explores the nine transit systems traveled by the world鈥檚 bird populations. Each flyway is brought to life with an annotated map, engaging profiles of key species, and stories highlighting the flyway鈥檚 routes and unique features. Written by a leading expert in bird migration, Flyways reveals what past and present migration patterns can tell us about the future of bird biodiversity, behavior, and survival.
