Travel Paths For Migratory Birds

It is important to understand that most major migratory birds will not nest near your home or enter your yard.

These birds have specific destinations and travel in large flocks, so unless you live in a rural area, you probably will not see birds like the emperor goose or harlequin duck come into your backyard.

Their final destination is the Aleutian Islands. These islands are often covered in fog for most of the year. Bird watchers know these birds arrive in late spring and early summer, so this is the best time to travel to the islands, to see these exotic birds.

Migratory birds also visit the Everglades each year. This is one of the most popular places to watch birds, and birds like the purple gallinule, the snail kite and sea sparrow arrive in the Everglades annually.

There are plenty of nature walks and observation tours to watch these birds up close, with more than 350 different migratory birds arrive in the Everglades.
