Avian Navigation
How migratory birds can navigate home from their wintering grounds to their breeding sites over hundreds and thousands of kilometers has been an admired mystery. Profound advances towards a solution of this problem have been achieved with a model bird, the homing pigeon. This monograph summarizes our knowledge about pigeon homing.
