Download or read book Stopover Biology of Migratory Songbirds written by Frank Moore and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organized around the challenges migrating songbirds face when they stop over during migration, this book tracks the migratory bird’s arrival at a stopover site and the challenges faced during stopover through departure and resumption of migratory flight. Individuals with different levels of migratory experience can be expected to respond differently to the exigencies of migration, and the consequences of experience are incorporated where appropriate. Likewise, the influence of weather on decisions made in relation to stopover (e.g., when/where to stop, foraging behavior, and when and in what direction to depart) are also dealt with where appropriate.
