I'm thinking about the genetic rigging of the migration system although cranes and such learn much of their migration route. Still, it would not surprise me that there are behavioral cues on the breeding grounds. I'll have to revisit Peter Berthold's awesome stuff.

(And if you believe the Wikipedia article, birds banded in Germany have been found in India, which suggests genetic sharing even with remote populations.)Profanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131628865279071396noreply@blogger.com
