What do you mean by migratory birds?

Migratory birds refer to birds that migrate regularly with different seasons.

Migratory birds are birds that migrate periodically with different seasons. Many birds have the characteristics of seasonal migration along latitude. In summer, these birds breed in temperate regions with higher latitudes, and in winter, they spend the winter in tropical regions with lower latitudes.

In late summer and early autumn, these birds move from the breeding ground to the wintering ground, and return to the breeding ground from the wintering ground in spring. These birds that migrate north and south with the seasons are called migratory birds.

Characteristics of migratory birds

As far as specific observation sites are concerned, these migratory birds from south to north can be classified according to their different appearance times. Taking Taiwan Province Province as an example, southern migratory birds that breed in Taiwan Province Province in summer are called "summer migratory birds" and northern migratory birds that come to Taiwan Province Province for winter are called "winter migratory birds".

If migratory birds breed further north than Taiwan Province Province and spend the winter in further south, they will only stay for a short time when they go south in autumn, and then return to Taiwan Province Province in spring, so they are called "transit birds". The same migratory bird may be divided into different categories at different observation points. For example, the red-bellied horned eagle is a transit bird in Taiwan Province Province, a Japanese summer migratory bird and a native winter migratory bird in the Philippines.
