How do birds migrate long distances?

Birds migrate long distances using a combination of environmental cues and innate navigational skills. They use the position of the Sun, stars, and Earth’s magnetic field to find their way across vast distances. Some species also rely on landmarks, such as coastlines and mountain ranges. Migratory birds are able to make these journeys with remarkable accuracy, often returning to the same breeding or wintering grounds year after year, guided by their natural instincts.
