Every autumn, billions of birds fly thousands of miles to warmer places—and somehow find their way without a map or phone. This episode unpacks the surprising tools birds use to navigate: Earth's magnetic field, the position of the sun and stars, landmarks they memorize, and even smells carried on the wind. Along the way, young listeners discover what migration really means, why birds make these epic journeys, and how tiny songbirds can cross entire oceans without getting lost.
