migratory route Explanation: Sounds about right. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 mins (2015-03-24 14:43:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "migration route" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2015-03-24 14:47:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Migratory routes and wintering grounds are traditional and learned by young during their first migration with their parents. Some ducks, such as the garganey Anas querquedula, move completely or partially into the tropics. The European pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca also follows this migratory trend, breeding in Asia and Europe and wintering in Africa." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_migration ) "The East Asian/Australasia Flyway is, globally, one of the major migration routes for a whole swathe of species (see EAAF for more details). […] However, the area is a major migratory route for seabirds – with large numbers of species that breed in New Zealand following routes that take them to Chile, the North-West American coast and Japanese waters, sometimes within one non-breeding season." (http://www.birdlife.org/pacific/programmes/migratory-birds-a... ) "Repeated example of annual cycle of cuckoo migratory route: through Italy in autumn, wintering in Congo Basin, and spring return via west Africa, taking western route through Iberia […] However, migration routes vary considerably between species, and even among individuals within a population. " (http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/state-of-the-uks-birds_tcm9-38... ) "However, it is also one of most poorly studied of the world’s major migration routes. Remarkably little is known about the populations and ecology of many of its songbird migrants, which rely on habitats along the migratory route for their survival."
